Recorded at Ten86 Cigars in Hawthorne, New Jersey, the Lizards pair the Avowed New Dawn in Toro with ten years aged Glenmorangie The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky. The guys share their interview with blender and manufacturer Klaas Kelner, recorded at PCA 2025, where they discuss how Klaas blends cigars for clients like Avowed and Stoic, his approach to complete palate coverage and his controversial feelings on the retrohale. 
PLUS: The Story of Avowed, Norwegian Plain Packaging, Parallels Between Plating Food and Cigar Blending, Voice Memo on Cigar/Family Balance & Giz on Pickled Asparagus

Join the Lounge Lizards for a weekly discussion on all things cigars (both Cuban and non-Cuban), whiskey, food, travel, life and work. This is your formal invitation to join us in a relaxing discussion amongst friends and become a card-carrying Lounge Lizard yourself. This is not your typical cigar podcast. We’re a group of friends who love sharing cigars, whiskey and a good laugh.
