Cigar Thoughts: A Football Show

You asked, we delivered. This show, hosted by Jacson Bevens, takes a deeper look at Seahawks football through the irreverent humor and unique analysis that have made his articles so popular. Join him, and his impressive lineup of guests, as they break down the latest news and look forward to what’s next. Aided by premium cigars and maybe (definitely) a little whiskey, it’s ‘Hawks talk you won’t get anywhere else.Produced by Mike BarwinMusic by Dylan HanwrightCover Art by Lee Olsen

Great show

Thoughtful insights with great guests. The only downside is inconsistent uploads which are usually followed with reasonable excuses (such as breaking his face open after falling 6 ft). Otherwise it’s a great show and every episode is a must-listen for me.

Ugh

This guy is so full of himself. The whole cigar thing is gimmicky and forced.
Farmer Pirate

Great local pod

Fantastic guest, great conversation, good questions, thoughtful, and funny. Wish the cigars were sold in smaller quantities as I don’t smoke a lot just now and again. Be fun to try them. Listen you won’t be disappointed!

Just Another Great Show!!

By far the best Hawk Pod out there!! Jacson is very knowledgeable about my Hawks & presents the show in an entertaining fashion. There’s only 2 negatives. 1) It needs to be on at least once a week. Please?? 2) Stop showing off the 1360!!! It’s hard looking up some of those words so I know what you’re talking about!!! LoL!!
heavilybutteredpopcorn

Witty, fun, insightful

Why listen? Not just the best Seahawks podcast (it is), it's my favorite sports podcast. Jacson's conversations with his guests are always intelligent, good-natured, and willing to dive deeper than most into data and schemes.
Tata425

Love the Pod.

I really enjoy your podcast and the guests you bring in to talk Seahawks football.
ceejaybmt

Light em up!

One of the best Seahawk podcasts out there. I look forward to every pod drop. Go Hawks!
obiwansotti

Cigar Thoughts is the Seahawks podcast you need

From the awesome collection of guest, including local experts like Bob Condotta to national voices like Mina Kimes, to the in depth analysis by the host this show is what Seahawk fans deserve. The vibes are excellent, the preparation shows how good the wed-mon is, and can’t ask for better in podcast decision making on Tuesdays. It’s on my weekly must play list of podcast. Onwards and upwards my friends.

If you like interruptions…

The host, Jacson Bevens is constantly interrupting and talking over his guests. It would be nice to hear the thoughts of the guests but instead you hear his loud over talking and laughter. The worst episode was with Mina Kimes as the guest and Jacson was annoyingly jumping in on every thought and not letting her finish speaking. Had to unfollow Cigar Thoughts after that episode. He might as well rename his pod to “Jacson’s Thoughts” since that’s the only thoughts you’ll hear.
Calebmcsharry

Creative sports writing

Entertaining, informative and incredibly descriptive analysis. I crave more of his writing.
AZMicsteph

Great Seahawks Podcast!

You don’t have to be a cigar aficionado to appreciate the insightful analysis, but it doesn’t hurt. If you’re a Seahawks fan, this podcast is a must listen.
I.P. Freely 360

Awesome

Every episode is a must listen.
Erik2787

Fantastic show, one qualm

Absolutely the best Seahawks podcast in the land. My only note is that at the end of the show you say “you can find Mike and I at….”. Dude, it’s “Mike and ME”. Is this an inside joke that I’m missing? Y’all are so well spoken the rest of the time, this silly grammar mistake barbs my ears every time. Anyways, keep on rockin, love the show. Go Hawks!
DZA990

Love the show…

but, no leeway for Adams. Dude just can’t play at this point!

Never miss an episode

One of the best Seahawk pods out there. Incredible vibes, great guest appearances, and so smooth on the ears. And I love all the different adjectives Jacson uses to describe Mike at the beginning of each episode.
bosoxbrant

Love the Pod

Absolutely love the column after the games but this is even better. I love the unique insight, the banter between Jackson and Mike…and don’t get me started on the guests. A-1 guys, keep up the awesome work!
Thostew

Excellent podcast for Seahawks fans

This is one of a handful of Seahawks podcasts I never miss. Jacson and Mike are entertaining and have insights you won’t want to miss!
pdxlistner

A must for Seahawks fans

This is one of if not the best Seahawks podcast. The mock draft episode they picked may be the best mock draft content I’ve ever heard/seen.
LeftCoastG

Best produced Seahawks pod by far

Hands down the most well-produced and insightful Seahawks pod out there. Jacson leads thoughtful conversations with a slew of top notch NFL writers and Hawks media, with the comedic musings of producer Mike sprinkled in. A must listen in the PNW
BHamSam23

The best Hawks podcast out there

This show is as insightful, interesting, and honest as they come. I really appreciate having someone as knowledgeable and curious as Jacson to give the latest and most important information out there. Great guests every week and he’s never afraid to admit when he was wrong about something. Would give this 6 stars if I could.
Seahawks Tom

A+

Easily my favorite podcast right now. Jacson and Mike bring excellent football knowledge with their fingers on the pulse of the Seahawks and their fans. Delivery is top-notch and the jokes/memes are great. A rare “teach you something and also make you laugh” show. Let’s light ‘em up!
shreya4815162342

Go Hawks

Nobody can put my emotions about the Seahawks into words like Jacson Bevens
Dave P in AZ

Just the right amount of Seahawks X’s and O’s

The name of the show doesn’t give it much justice and can be a bit confusing. That being said, I thoroughly enjoy Jacson and Mike’s takes on our beloved Seahawks. They are not too in depth where as some other shows dig in to fronts and different schemes and what not. But it’s just the perfect amount of football knowledge and takes that the average fan could listen to and enjoy! Give it a listen! Go Hawks!
mattkg

One of the Best

Easily one of the best Seahawks podcasts out there. Jacson is a natural behind the mic and they bring it really great guests as a complement. Well worth your time if you are a Hawks fan. Thanks for the great content Jacson and Mike!

Like a fart under the covers…

I smell a hit! My favorite takes and voices on the ups and downs of the most exciting developing team team in the NFL.

Title says it all. You want Seahawks, this is what you should be listening to!
JGinSeoul

The best Seahawks podcast

Jacson is a great and funny host, Mike is great too (Travis Homer is not). The best part of this show is the incredible guests. If you only listen to one Seahawks podcast, make it this one.
nicknamesaredumb123123123

Great Seahawks content

Great Seahawks content. Great show.
Hawk McKraken

A must for football (especially Seahawks) fans

This football pod offers great insight, analysis and guests. I’ve been a fan of the weekly summary of each Seahawk game by Jacson Bevens on Fieldgulls. He’s a great writer, rehashing each game with wit and entertaining prose. I’m looking forward to see what happens in the off season and hope that other sports topics are covered. I like the repartee with producer Mike Barwin and how they bring in great local and national guests. These guys are good and worth a listen.
JFreshMoney

FIRE PETE CARROLL AND LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST

Great level-headed takes without being delusional about his favorite team. A must listen for Seahawks fans.

BEST Seahawks Podcast.

Thanks Jacson. The best Hawks pod and blogs on the net these days. Makes watching my favorite floundering team more bearable! Light em up dude! Cheers
DietSuperman
