The Catholic Man Show - Cigar 101 with Ultimo Cigars

Cigar 101 with Tomas Baldonado from Ultimo Cigars

Every once in a while, we break away from our normal routine on The Catholic Man Show to have a conversation with someone we think is a craftsman, expert in a field, and/or has an interesting story. Our guest, Tomas Baldonado from Ultimo, fits all 3 categories.
Many men aren’t sure where to begin when picking up their first stick. In this episode, we sit down with Oklahoma’s first and only licensed manufacturer of premium handcrafted cigars.
In the January edition of Cigar Aficionado Magazine, Ultimo Cigars was mentioned in an article entitled, “50 Factories in the U.S. that still make Cigars“.
Things you will learn:
  • Anatomy of a cigar
  • How to find a cigar that fits your palate
  • How to cut a cigar
  • How a cigar is made
  • Types of cigars
  • How to keep cigars fresh
  • How Tomas paired a cigar with a beer
  • and much more
