On each episode, Newton will invite his guests to partake in his private selection of cocktails and cigars while discussing life, art, business, and everything in between.

“As a sports figure, I don’t always get to shed layers and give people a glimpse of off-the-field Cam, so it’s cool to join the BET Digital family and host Sip N’ Smoke,” Newton said in a statement provided to The Root. “This series gives me the opportunity to put on for ATL, celebrate some of the people and things that inspire me and to create with my production company, Iconic Saga.”
