‘Moonshiners’: Tim Smith Explains Shocking Decision to Fight the Law & Go Illegal

During the January 6 premiere, Tim Smith decided to operate illegally as Moonshiners Season 15 kicked off, saying he felt he had no choice.
Rising tariffs have reduced shipments on the legal side, shrinking sales channels, and Tim Smith said taxes pushed buyers toward illegal alternatives and opportunities in Canada.
The team later found bullet holes in the crew's still and warned that the bible-thumping preacher speaking out could escalate problems.
They moved different locations and called in the crew's reinforcements, including Steven Ray Tickle and Henry Law, to fulfill large orders amid high stakes for Smith.
Smith, who started with the show at the beginning, remains a key original as Moonshiners: Master Distiller returns later this month, highlighting his long-term role.
