Summary
Ep. 47 - More Than Smoke & Bourbon: What We’re Really Building on the Porch Every good place has a beginning. For Mission Cigar and Social, it started with an idea from Monty Collins—create a space where people could slow down, sit for a while, and enjoy a cigar. Simple enough. But like most things that matter, it became more than that. What Monty built isn’t just a cigar lounge. It’s a place where conversations happen. Where people come in one way and leave a little different. Where you can sit down, not have to perform, and just be around others for a bit. That’s not all that different from what we’re trying to do here on the porch. This episode moves through cigars, stories, Tennessee Collective, Franklin Distillery and a few laughs… but it keeps circling back to the same idea: Most people aren’t looking for more noise.They’re looking for a place to land. A place where connection isn’t forced… it just happens. Come visit Franklin, TN and be sure to spend some time at Mission Cigar and Social. You’ll experience what we are talking about here and on all episodes of Two Guys On A Porch. That’s the point. This is Part 2 of our conversation with Monty—so if you haven’t yet, go back and listen to Part 1 featuring Franklin Distillery, Tennessee Collective Whiskey, and Padrón. It’ll give you the full picture. So whether you’re listening on the way home, sitting on your back porch, or lighting one up with a friend—thanks for being part of it. #TwoGuysOnAPorch #BourbonPodcast #CigarPodcast #WhiskeyPodcast #MensPodcast #CigarConversation #BourbonTalk #CigarCulture #MensMentalHealth #BrotherhoodMatters #PodcastClips #franklintn #franklintennessee #downtownfranklin #visitfranklintn #Franklin #TennesseeCollective #TennesseeWhiskey #TNWhiskeyTrail #FranklinDistillery
