Look, it’s been a bit of a week. No matter your politics, the presidential debate on Tuesday was anxiety-ridden. The 9/11 anniversary is always emotional, too. We needed some content to help us relax this week. Thankfully, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Rocco Mediate just delivered one of our favorite videos of the year.

Rocco and Miguel are two of the absolute best pro golfers. They’re fan favorites for a reason. Having spent time around both of them, they’re both all about living life to the fullest—and that attitude is infectious. After watching the below video, you will certainly agree.
The PGA Tour Champions got Rocco and Miguel together to talk about cigars, and gosh it’s gold. In a What’s In My Bag interview back in the day, Miguel said before every trip, he loads up on Cohiba cigars: “You never know if they’ll have them where I’m going.” And Rocco, as you know by his social-media videos, is always smoking a stogie.
Enjoy the video below, preferably with your own stogie in hand:

So to have these two legends trading lines about their favorite cigars is incredible and an absolute must-watch.
That’s the good stuff right there. This video could’ve been an hour long, and I’d still rewatch it. If you’re someone who enjoys cigars, this is right up your alley. Even if you don’t, listening to these two legends get downright giddy about something they love is also very cool.
Whatever Opus X is, the next time I’m looking for a cigar, I’m damn sure buying that one … as long as it’s in cheap section. (Even though I’m sure it won’t be knowing these guys and their finer tastes…)

I know that Rocco has his own radio show with SiriusXM, so I think it’s time to book a regular segment with The Mechanic himself. OK, OK … we’re talking about radio, an outdated medium, and two 60-plus-year-olds … which is sort of the opposite of where golf is going. You can keep your YouTube influencers. Give us Rocco and Miguel talking about the finer things in life, and we’ll be happy. I hope they do wine next.
