The Retrohale! A mix between cigar reviews, witty banter, and guest interviews.
Bret Phillips and Mark Burmeister
The Retrohale a Cigar Podcast is a delightfully irreverent and entertaining podcast that combines humor, banter, and insightful discussions about cigars. From the very beginning, it's clear that hosts Bret and Mark have great chemistry and play off each other's energy. Their humorous banter keeps the show light-hearted, while still providing valuable information about cigars.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the unique approach to cigar reviews. Rather than relying on traditional "professional" reviews with complex descriptions and flavors, The Retrohale takes a more casual and relatable approach. The hosts offer their own personal take on cigars, making it accessible for listeners who may not be experts in the field. This refreshing perspective provides a more down-to-earth view on cigars and helps listeners better understand what they might enjoy.
Additionally, the guests on this podcast add another layer of depth to the show. From industry professionals to fellow cigar enthusiasts, each guest brings their own knowledge and experiences to the table. This variety of perspectives keeps the content fresh and engaging.
While there are many positive aspects to The Retrohale a Cigar Podcast, one potential drawback is the limited access to past episodes. As mentioned by one reviewer, only the most recent 100 episodes are available for listening. This can be disappointing for listeners who want to binge-listen or catch up on older content. It would be beneficial if there were options to access previous episodes or an archive for dedicated fans.
In conclusion, The Retrohale a Cigar Podcast is an entertaining and informative show for both avid cigar smokers and those new to cigars alike. With its humorous banter, diverse range of guests, and unique approach to cigar reviews, it stands out from other podcasts in its genre. Although there may be limitations in accessing older episodes, this should not deter fans from enjoying the current content provided by Bret and Mark. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or simply curious about cigars, The Retrohale is definitely worth a listen.
