In this special, bittersweet episode the crew gathers at Mickey Blake’s to celebrate Bill’s retirement and move to the Republic of Georgia. Friends share stories, toasts and memories while honoring his years of service, community-building and perfect cigar recommendations.

The episode also highlights what they’re smoking and drinking (a Tatuaje 7 Broadleaf and E.H. Taylor small batch), the shop’s brotherhood and events, and plans to stay connected across the miles — including visits, remote podcasts and a new international chapter.

Live from Mickey Blake's in Orange, CT, Dave, Jay, Folch and Cappy sit down with guest Billy King to trade cigar and bourbon notes while sharing stories from his life in firefighting, EMS, police work, racing and aviation.

The episode covers Billy's cigar origin and go-to sticks, bourbon pairings, race‑car test drives and memorable calls, plus a reveal about the podcast's new Dunn & Foster Connecticut Broadleaf blend coming next episode.

Join the Ash Chat Podcast at Mickey Blake's Cigar Lounge for a lively conversation with special guest Carlos Garcia. They cover cigars, whiskey pairings, military experiences, travel adventures, bottle hunts, and behind-the-scenes stories from bourbon festivals—plus tasting notes on unique cigar-focused spirits.

Expect candid banter, tasting pours, cigar picks, and local recommendations as the group dives deep into Carlos's YouTube journey, collection highlights, and favorite smokes.
