Smoke and Water

What? What's that?  Yeah it's been a while, but we are back with a new episode about forgiving yourself.  Of course, we are smoking some cigars and giving on the spot reviews as well. Tune in and share!

What does the love of a man look like? We discuss it while we smoke cigars.

Being a man of integrity requires making hard choices. The hardest ones are often the small ones we aren't even aware of either.

We are back. Life gets in the way sometimes, but that is no excuse.  Joseph and Justin relate the forging of metals to the forging of men, all while smoking a couple of cigars, of course.

We tried something new this time and filled a lot more time. Still just 2 guys, 2 cigars and a couple of opinions. 

Two guys. Two Cigars. Two opinions. One truth.  We talk about the state of church culture from our experience and share our thoughts. This could take a while. 

Love God? How the heck do I do that? Love myself? Might be a little easier.  This time on Smoke and Water we discuss the finer points of loving and review the Drew Estate 10 and a Monte Cristo White Vintage....again.

Cigar Reviews: Ave Maria, Tatuaje Fausto "Old Man and the Sea" Joseph and Justin discuss what the Bible really says about sin and our role in this world. Do we solve all the problems? You be the judge!

Life can be a lot and we can often apply a lot of pressure to ourselves to do it right. All this does is increase blood pressure, stress, etc. This is where discipline comes in. Learn to chill. Smoke a cigar.

Sometimes that conscience seems to want to put a stop to fun. But what is conviction really about? Join us as we review a My Father cigar and a collaboration from Caldwell called The T.

We put a lot of smoke in the air and bring to you the truth about moral failure. Hint: it's not as bad as you think. Also, here's the link to our new website where you can message us and ask questions: https://smokeandwater101366545.wordpress.com/

Temptation is good for you, isn't it? We smoke something unique and something a little more traditional then hash out the truths about temptation and decisions. 

We may not have answered the question satisfactorily, but I think we got to the root of the problem and can get you started. It is not about religion by the way. Also smoked a Plasencia and H. Uppman cigars and discovered an incredibly talented artist in Fort Worth, Kim Jackson. Check out her unique and inspiring work at kjackart.com or on instagram at @kjackart. You will not be disappointed.

Not much cigar info here due to w winter blast in Texas. Justin shares some things that came up while on retreat.

The Bones are a mystery this time around, and the buns have been blocked; but burnout is real and we all encounter it at some point. But there is something we can do about it, and it can involve smoking a cigar if you are so inclined.

#blessed. Oh really? What does that even mean? This episode is about being blessed. Of course, great cigars were smoked.

This one was recorded right before the end of 2020 in preparation for beginning a new year. We smoked some great cigars and talked about really resolving to better your life. 

Don't know what paraclete is? It is one of the names for Holy Spirit. How does this fit in with the season? Listen in and maybe you'll find out! Special guest Hannah Pigg!

Your conscience is your most sacred property, but how do we tend to that property? The idea is not to lose your mind over it. Take your time and ask good questions.

Two new smokes put us in the mind to talk about gratitude, and not just for the usual stuff. Are you grateful for the year 2020? Could you be?

We have an in-studio guest this week: Matt Russell. It's no news that we are only so-so at math when it comes to fractions. And Joseph wonders, is the church cranking out professional pretenders? Light a cigar and tune in to find out what we think. Correction to something we said in ignorance on the recording--Cigar Aficionado starts their top 25 of 2020 on Monday, December 16.

Two reviews of two very different cigars and a little walk on the path to peace. You know you need it! Happy Thanksgiving!

It's all about the little things. They kill. They matter. And we are affected by them all the time...unless we take action internally.

The elections are over. The counts are in. Can we stop acting like spoiled children now? We review a couple of great cigars and have some discussion on basic human decency. We come to one conclusion: everyone needs to chill out and smoke a cigar.

Who knew a lancero would take two hours? Joseph gets to smoke two cigars. Then we deride the use of religion to control people. Disgusting.

Forgiveness. Mercy. Grace. Do they have a place in our world today? And what about those Ave Maria cigars?
