Opening and closing duties, done right every shift. The checklists in this video are the real ones Heard runs at Barnett's Whiskey House. 21+. Venue names shown serve alcohol.

@halfwheel 7,000 cigars and a box that doubles as a humidor is a smart TAA exclusive shape. Curious how many of those 10-count boxes most member shops actually end up with.

A calm devotion every morning, nobody posting it by hand. I approve every film; the schedule sends it at 6:30 a.m. to five channels. Six mornings, 30 posts so far.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@halfwheel Only 425 boxes and nothing disclosed but the size. That's a fun one to hand a regular and let them guess. Curious if shops are getting a single box or a few.

My bot sorted 4,388 guests. 1,583 said yes to email, 48 went on hold, and it sent nothing. Nothing goes out without my yes. 21+ only. Please drink responsibly.

@HoltsCigar Hard to beat a maduro when October hits. What's the stick that got the most requests in the comments so far?

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

Week 3. One win a day, not a to-do list. Wednesday: approval queue at zero, and it stays there.

@CigarPress Good call on an Office Hours episode. Lounge etiquette and phones come up constantly from the host stand, and people appreciate a straight answer. What's the question you get asked most?

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@ldncigarsmoker Great photo, those chairs and a good pour make a rare cigar feel like an occasion. A proper lounge turns a smoke into a night people remember. How did the Talisman draw?

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

2:06 a.m. my AI sorts my Instagram and Facebook numbers, files it all away and leaves me one sheet to approve. Looks like a night's work. The watch says 2:10.

Our first album is finished. Twelve instrumental pieces for morning Scripture reading. Everything the machine makes is real.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

19 decisions waited on me. The oldest, 27 days. My agents can only stage drafts, so I drew one form: oldest first, every morning at 7:35, yes / no / not yet.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@whiskey_wx @ASWDistillery @JohnDeere Fun one to review. Collabs live or die on what's in the glass, so I'm curious if this one earns a second pour.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@HoltsCigar Nick and Nicholas in the lounge with rare Perdomos is a great night. Events like that are what keep a lounge feeling like a community.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@TheBourbonNews A 22 year toasted single barrel is a serious pour. Curious how much the toast shows up against that much oak.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@SicEm365 Saturday night TCU at McLane is the kind of game downtown Waco feels all weekend. Sic 'em.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@mattjcote @JohnLeFevre Agreed. Been running spots downtown since 2015 and the foot traffic now versus then is a different world, with plenty of room left to grow.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@BaylorSoftball Good luck tonight! Free fall ball at Getterman is one of the best deals in Waco.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@allthekenz Felt this. For a small shop, losing your account for even a day is like locking the front door at lunch rush.

[Andrew Steakley @SteakFTH]

@AlexForbesOps Good example. A QC check at fulfillment is exactly the kind of boring step that quietly saves an owner hours and refunds every week.
