Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Anyone listen to this show? I see it's fairly new.

And by the looks of the pictures on their Facebook page, they don't smoke cigars during the show....kind of dumb. I can understand why, but still.

Is it worth a listen and checking out?

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

try once... and thats all

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Not any good?

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

It's getting better but still not great in my opinion. A lot of droning on. Being it is Abe from Smoke Inn they do get great guests. They could use to ditch Lady M as she adds no worthwhile content to the show in my opinion. I think they just wanted a pretty face associated with the show and even that's a stretch. They probably don't smoke during the show because they are live from a local radio station studio. It is starting to get better and they will be moving to another station soon so they can do a two hour show which I am not sure if that will help or hurt the show. You can download the shows on Itunes now. I still prefer to listen to the Blowing Smoke podcast for cigar related listening but even they were a little hit and miss at the beginning so I think with time they will get much better.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I'll give it a listen. At least it's nicely produced being in a station. Some of the podcasts out there are just complete crap with their quality, such a turn off.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I was wondering about a good cigar podcast. I wish some of the brothers on here would do one! The CA podcast could be great!

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I listen to Blowin Smoke Podcast, Stogie Fresh 5, and The Cigar Authority.

And then there's Dogwatch, don't bother with that one.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Dog Watch is an older one and I gave them another shot about a year ago but they have yet to improved their audio so I wrote it off. When I listened years ago the content was pretty good but the audio often times made it unlistenable.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Yeah, their production is complete crap. And there's too much dead air and too much "uhs, ums, hmms" and whatever else.

Plus the little debate they had saying there's no such thing as a "pretty good" cigar. What a crock of shipoopy. Let people enjoy cigars however they want and let them say whatever they want. Not everyone is an @$$ kisser and will agree with whatever they say.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

With some good equipment, a good podcast from home is possible. You just have to know how to do it. I would think you do a couple, listen back, and tweak them a little before you air them.

I DL'ed KMA, and will DL the other ones. Need a good pro-cigar podcast to pass the time at work.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I'm looking for a good 1.5 hours a day to listen to on my drive in and home.
It would seriously be amazing if some of the people on CA had one. So much knoweldge here!

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

someone post links to some of these mentioned, and waht do you use? Winamp? Ipod what?

I've never actually listened to a podcast.


I would actually like to hear some of the guys on here talk about cigars (Eric, Mac, Elderboy, Bob, Bill to name a few off the top of my head)

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I listen to them all ... each have their own merits and some may fit better others for some people.

They are all good entertainment while enjoying a cigar and you can't beat the price. :2

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I've listened to a few episodes, it's alright. They're changing stations and will be a 2 hour show now. Not sure about the new place, but I know the studio they're in now(or were in), they don't smoke cigars during the show.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I think the 2 hour show will make it more entertaining to have more time for more content.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Thanks

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I can see it now:

"...and to all those listening, Frank's address is ____________. Be sure to get your monthly hit in!"

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Hey Gang,

Just going to pop in here. Thanks for the comments and feedback of the show. We completed our first 13 weeks and what a learning experience it was. It definitely is a work in progress. We are gearing the show to be more of a Lifestyle show, and being we are all into cigars that is part of our theme.

In our light it up section we talk about the cigars we will be smoking that morning. Yes, we cannot smoke in the studio. We are currently in construction of a new 4000 sqft free standing building that will be our NEW headquarters due to open next year. We are building a studio in the store and our plan is that the show will be done remotely in our store done in front of a live audience where WE CAN SMOKE. =)

The new 2- hour format will MANY new segments such as

The Bloggers Corner: We invite different Bloggers each week to come on the air and review a cigar giving their unbiased opinion.

The Fray: A short section dealing with current political climates

Ask Lady M: Another short section in Lady M replying to emails or callers seeking relationship advice

Dummy Dialers: you will have to listen to these yourself because if i explain it to you, you would never believe me.

All in all guys, everything we try to do is about having a good time. That is the mood we try to express on the show. Your feedback is always appreciated and will help us make a better show overall. I look forward to any comments as we get a few of the new 2 hour shows out there.

Neoflex,...Guilty as charged. If I am going to be stuck in a studio for 2 hours, Lady M is definitely good to look at and she does add the sensitive maternal side to the show. She has a terrific fan base and some hardcore followers already. As far as her being a stretch for a pretty face......well I guess I should be hanging out with you on the
weekends! =)

Best Regards Gang. keep Smokin!

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

The 2 hour show will be nice to have. 1 hour goes by way to quickly.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

And before a mod beats me to it...

Welcome to the board, be sure to post in the introduction thread. :r

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Chris,
Just processed myself in new member area. Thanx.

You are absolutely right about the 2 hours. That was the number one complaint we got from everyone. At first we thought ...."wow..what r we going to talk about for an hour"

We soon found ourselves running out of time every show and cutting segments we wanted to air. So we are definitely exited about the new format.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I was just messing with you about the intro stuff. :r

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Thanks for chiming in Abe and giving us some insight of what will become of the two hour show and sorry if I offended you but I was just giving my honest input. I do feel like the show if getting better every week as I mentioned earlier. I imagine it can be challenging to put an entertaining show together live every week where you don't get to cut down and edit content. I know I wouldn't be able to knock it out of the park right out of the box. Someone just asked for an opinion and I gave mine honestly. Sometimes being up front and honest does have it's drawbacks. I will also be honest and say I have listened to every show so far and plan on continuing to listen and watch how it developes as it is definitely headed in the right direction and improving. And no it's not like I am not hanging out with supermodels every weekend by any means and I don't doubt that Lady M has her fan base. A woman who smokes cigars can be very appealing in itself to many but I honestly feel like she has yet to add any useful content to the show other than being the female voice. Again, just being honest even if it makes me the bad guy. I am not saying anything here that I would be afraid to tell you in person. Hell, my wife tells me all the time I am too blunt at times and should consider using a filter when speaking.:D
I do wish you guys the best of luck with the show and look forward to the longer shows and when you are able to broadcast from your own studio as you will be able to give instant reviews and feedback on what you are smoking as your working your way through sticks. Again, hopefully I did not offend you as that was not my intention as I know when things are posted on a public forum that anyone can read them and never doubted that you yourself may have read my feedback. I guess I could have and should have kept my opinions of Lady M to myself but again, I really need to learn to use a filter. ;)

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Neo brother,

No offense taken at all. In fact we welcome the criticism.....It is the only way we can improve to make the show better. No filter needed buddy.

I just thought you might of been harsh on Lady M....while she is new to Radio, she knows enough about Smokes (She Manages our Montecristo Lounge at the PGA National Resort), but your are right...she definitely needs to work her personality more into the show. I just felt your comment about her not being good to look at was a little rough. In my best football playing heyday, I woulda been lucky to snag a gal like Lady M.

All in all brother, keep the comments coming and hopefully we will make a better show for all!

Regards,

Abe

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

:tu Point taken and your right I could have and should have left that part out... Thanks again for jumping in and giving us some insight of what's to come.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I listened this weekend and I enjoyed the show, I didn't win the "media word" prize which was one of the reasons I listened I won't lie....I'm poor, but I still enjoyed the show and I hope I can tune in again this Saturday.

Thanks Abe.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Shows are a lot better now that they're 2 hours long.

Dumby Dialers are funny, I just wish they would change the sound drop when it starts. Lady M singing the intro to it or whatever it is is annoying. It's kind of cheesy.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I might have to give this a listen tonight!

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I enjoy the interviews with cigar industry execs.
The call in from Fuente after the fire was great.
Great place and the nicest people, ive been to the shop
and met the cigar radio stars. Smoked one with Pete Tat there
last year at the Anarchy launch.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I was dying at the one this past Saturday, something about buying some dust or something, but the caller had NO CLUE.

I really enjoyed the interview, too bad the little one was yelling at me to watch him on the swingset since I was outside listening and missed a lot of it including the media word for the giveaway.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

So this is Saturdays only? 10-12 eastern time?

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Well this is a podcast right? So I can download it and listen to it anytime?

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Yes, live saturdays from 10-12 eastern, and also available as a podcast if you can't listen live

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Ironically, I have downloaded and listened a couple of times when I'm walking in the evening.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I started listening to the podcasts, I am almost all caught up now.
Very intertaining show, can't stand the segway intros or the repetitive commercials.
I do like the cast though and they have some great segments!!!


Hey Mickey was that you that guessed True Romance?

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

That was moi!

I was going to call in again this past Saturday, but wasn't sure if there was an amount of time I have to wait before I can win again, I know some radio stations require you to wait 90 days before you can win again.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

If they don't say it, I say try it!

It is an enjoyable show but I feel like I am being programmed to enjoy Montecristo cigars, having heard the commercials so many times.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I don't mind monte's but I have only had one and I was a noob when I had it, so I probably wouldn't care for it now.

I know what you mean I have only been listening for about 3-4 weeks and I can recite the commercials now lol.

AND I DON'T LISTEN TO THE PODCASTS!!!! LOL

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Sorry I wasn't Monte bashing, I love their CCs but I feel like I have been brainwashed when I know all the commercials word for word.

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Haven't had their CC yet, I got mine from a grocery store humi....remember I was a NOOB.

I know what you mean, but I will say this about the show, they have great guests, love the interviews with the cigar people and the bloggers...I can do without the political stuff, but that's me.

I'll be listending and trying to win this Saturday :banger

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

I am very unpolitical but am enjoying the politics very much!
All the segments are good!

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
 

Don't listen to last saturday's podcast... the "bloggers corner" guest is a idiot. ;)

Re: Kiss My Ash Radio
