Since then, Nick—also known as the “Chief of the Broadleaf” and “Nick R. Agua”—has continued building a portfolio that includes standout releases like Olmec and the 10 Year Anniversario, both earning strong placements on our year-end lists.While Nick has appeared on Smoke Night LIVE in the past, it’s been a few years since his last visit. This episode gives the Dojo crew a chance to reconnect, talk about the evolution of Foundation Cigars, and find out what’s next for one of the most respected voices in the industry.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ITHey4PsGh4zOsf5PmAiAlE0vSLzJfnbHx9lqQrn92s/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yMzY0/MmIyMDI2OTNhZjUw/MGUzODRhYzRkMzRi/YTY2Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
