Cigar And A Crime
Cigar and A Crime is where the slow burn of a fine cigar meets the relentless pursuit of justice. Hosted by Dr. Dee, we shine a light on the untold true crime stories from overlooked communities — the cases the media gave 20 seconds… and then forgot.
From the rural dirt roads of Mississippi to the city streets across America, we tell the stories of the voiceless, with truth, respect, and unwavering integrity. Each episode blends deep research, cinematic storytelling, and powerful narration to connect you with the lives behind the headlines — victims, families, and communities that deserve to be heard.
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a seat in the lounge of truth, where the smoke clears and the facts remain.
