Every year, once we land on No. 1, we make the surprise call — and this time it went to the My Father family. Erik tried Jaime Garcia first… straight to voicemail. Then Janny Garcia picked up, and the moment officially became part of the Top 25 lore.

That’s a wrap on our Top 25 Cigars of 2025. Congrats to the entire My Father team on taking the No. 1 and to everyone who made this year’s list 🥳 Now hit play and enjoy the call.

This week’s Win, Stuff, LIVE! mixed a little cigar history with cars, photography, and 20 years of Cigar Snob. 🔥

We lit up the Aging Room Blue Amber, a 93-point blend in our ratings, while digging into a few memories from the magazine’s archives including an early photo shoot and the first band ever featured in Cigar Snob.

This week’s winners walked away with some unique prizes: a Blue Amber leather cigar case and cologne paired with the Shelby American – 60 Years of Performance coffee table book, and a framed 19 x 25 print from our Blue Amber shoot in the March/April 2026 issue.

Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone who joined us live and kept the guesses coming. Missed the show? The full replay is available now.

We’ll see you next Friday at 3 PM ET.

Happy Mailtime Monday

The boxes are stacked, the new cameraman is getting initiated, and somehow the good knives are nowhere to be found. Sounds about right for a Monday.

There’s plenty to dig into this week, including a few packages that get much bigger reactions than expected, some love for the new issue, and the usual amount of getting completely sidetracked along the way.

Hit play, enjoy the chaos, and thanks to everyone who keeps the Mailtime table full.

On the giveaway side, players competed for a Rocky Patel Davenport Lighter before one lucky winner took home the matching ashtray and Collection Lighter set.
