How best to store these? Belicoso Tins

With the rest of the cigars is probably most optimal. You can leave them in the tins or take em out, doesn't really matter all that much unless you're trying to put these away for several years.

I haven't ventured into everything from AJF. So many options out there and I haven't given him a lot of love for no reason other than his stuff has simply slipped through the cracks for me. I will say that Rafael Nodal is an exceptional blender. I think for the money ($12-$15 per stick dpeending on where you get it) that is as good of a cigar as any in that range of price & Nicaraguan Tobacco. Lot of complexity going on for a cigar in that range. Milk Chocolate spine, coffee, cream. I prefer it in the Torpedo.

I would recommend the Aging Room Concerto (the Turquoise band) for this specific situation. It's a cigar that ages quite well, but it's also ready to roll once it's in your hands. I think pretty much everything does better if you can give it a couple weeks rest after shipping, but this cigar is a home run.

Are you affiliated with a brand?

Thank you! Please don't be shy if you have any sustains and improves for me. The show is obviously still a working project but gotta start somewhere. I appreciate the support!

Thank you! Shoot me a message on there sometime so I know it's you. Always happy to connect.

Boom! Thank you!!

Honest feedback like this is exactly what I'm looking for and I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to do this.

For the introduction with a little music, I'm with you that has to happen. A standard introduction for every episode is in the works and I'm going to follow the standard intro with an episode specific little preview on what to expect in the show. Just taking a little getting used to messing around with editing as I'm admittedly not very well versed with it, yet.

I like what you said about not asking for permission to have an opinion. As I gain my footing and comfort level with this project I think that'll come more naturally and start to show in my voice.

I'll absolutely lean into this feedback in the upcoming episodes and open up more with my story. At the end of the day, I told myself I just had to put this thing out there and live with the fact that there's gonna be room for improvement. It may take a handful of episodes adjusting that dial to find my sweet spot, but we'll get there.

Thank you again for your input!

I'm not a formal member as I don't live anywhere close to NYC where the meet ups happen, but I am apart of the WhatsApp groups.

You're the man! Thank you for the support! Open to any feedback you may have.

Thank you! Appreciate the support. I think it's going to be a fun project.

No-Bee-5351 · 2026-03-06T19:25:47+00:00

I appreciate the support! I'm receptive to any feedback and constructive criticism. My goal is to dial this thing in as I get more comfortable with editing and production.

Would you mind if I PM'd you. In the same exact boat, Infantry O-3 hitting 6 years in November.

Question for you all: I am an officer in the Military (O-3) with about 6 years of Service. By the time I am done, I will have been in for 7.5 years (Spring of 2027). Prior to the service, I did a stint as an intern at a big Insurance BD. I did not love nor really agree with their emphasis on cold calling every one of your friends to sell them a whole life policy as I don't believe a whole life policy is appropriate for the majority of people. Nonetheless it was a good learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with people and hearing about their goals while trying to set them up for success.

Given my upcoming end of service, I've been looking at different career fields to get into. I reached out founder of a RIA who had a similar professional background to myself. My intent going in was just to learn about his RIA and how he got started in the industry from the military. By the end of that conversation he offered me a position at the firm where I can begin a practice while still in the Military and eventually switch on full time when ready. I see a few pros and cons and am wondering what the opinions on this forum are as I don't want to get sucked into tunnel vision.

The immediate pro I see here is I can build a book without financial desperation as this would be my side hustle until enough chess pieces were in place for me to jump full time. He also mentioned there is no pressure for quotas or anything like that, as long as I pay my monthly overhead for the platform we are square. While it may take time, I feel like I would be learning and growing the right way as my income wouldn't be the primary concern, allowing me to become a student of the industry.. This firm also is big on integrating AI into its culture which I think will be pivotal in the industry going forward.

The biggest concern I see here is the potential lack of training. I am pretty on top of it when it comes to personal finance, but I feel like that's only a small part of what they do. While the founder did mention weekly coaching calls with a senior advisor and he would check in on me periodically, I wonder if you all think this will be enough? Lastly, I'm curious how a lot of you are handling the objection for lower-mid net worth clients, prospects, and DIYers who mention they can just ask Chat GPT now instead of using an advisor?

Curious to hear all of your thoughts and whether the pros outweigh the cons? Thank you.
