This is our third episode of I Live In Dallas Radio. This I Live In Dallas show, co-hosted by myself and Jason Channell, was recorded at Up In Smoke in Uptown Dallas. In it we chat with 30-year cigar veteran,  store manager, guy’s guy, and all-round fun character John Barton.  We have often ran into John around Uptown Dallas at the same local haunts over the years. He never ceases to amaze us with his knowledge of cigars, wisdom of life, and fun stories. In 31 minutes of cigar anecdotes, education, and commentary…

Listen as we:

• Name names of well-known local and not-so-local political figures, actors, and sports stars that pop into Up In Smoke from time to time.
• Talk about what to consider when looking for a good cigar.
