Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick rings in the new year by going over 2025 with a fine toothed comb and diving into the data of what he smoked last year.
Nick tracks every cigar he smokes so that he can review the data and analyze his smoking. We cover his most smoked cigar of the year, his top brands, his top vitolas, and much more. We also compare the 2025 data to 2024 to see what that may tell us as well. It's a heavy data episode but it's a fascinating insight into the habits of a heavy cigar smoker.
And Nick encourages his listeners to track their cigar smoking as well to compile the same data for themselves this time next year. It can be very insightful and can show you a lot about yourself and your hobby you didn't even realize!
Find out what Nick has been watching and enjoying lately in the Villiger Cigars Entertainment Report.
And the new year brings the return of Pinky's Fun Facts!

Listeners - Nick is taking today off from the normal schedule. Its been a very busy past two weeks, and while its been mostly all fun stuff, its been exhausting. So rather than half ass a show, Nick is taking today off and will be back on Tuesday, December 9.
If you're not caught up on the show, it gives you a good opportunity to get up to date.
Thanks for understanding and we'll see you Tuesday!
