Tiger Woods & Cigars
At 12:03 · chapter starts 9:23
Bert produces two premium cigars from his backpack and the episode transforms into a cigar-smoke-filled conversation. His heartbreak over Tiger Woods is real: Tiger was a hero, a superman of golf, and watching addiction 'get all its hooks in him' is genuinely sad. But Bert's solution isn't sobriety — it's offering Tiger a seat at his table for beers. The Ruthie from The Real World comparison is both absurd and disturbingly apt. Bert then pivots to the history of cigars, revealing that Cigar Aficionado magazine launched in 1992 and engineered a cultural revival by putting celebrity smokers on its pages. MJ drinking whiskey and smoking two Cubans simultaneously becomes the image of aspirational cool Bert is chasing.
Bert loves Tiger Woods too much to want sobriety for him. He wants Tiger to get control — not quit — and openly offers himself as the world's most enthusiastic enabler. The Ruthie from The Real World comparison is genuinely alarming.
Cigars were dying until Cigar Aficionado launched in 1992 and got MJ, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis puffing on camera. The industry exploded overnight. Bert's deep-dive into cigar history mid-sobriety is a thing of beauty.
Bert claimed that Cigar Aficionado magazine launched in 1992 and single-handedly revitalized a cigar industry that had lost its popularity.
