Happy Hour — Ave Maria Excalibur and Five for the Price of One
This week on the Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour, Fingers Malloy goes full bargain hunter and somehow drags Tony Katz along for the ride. The guys light up the Ave Maria Excalibur, a Cameroon-wrapped cigar that’s big, beefy, and not exactly subtle — and they do it for one simple reason: Fingers scored …

Happy Hour: Old Soul High Rye Bourbon
Happy Hour starts the way a lot of good pairings do—by accident. Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy reach for Old Soul High Rye Bourbon from Cathead Distillery without knowing what cigar it’s supposed to match, and end up finding something worth slowing down for. The nose comes in sweet—vanilla cake, ba…

Happy Hour: Karatoba Robusto from OZ Family Cigars
Happy Hour kicks off with a box-pressed Robusto and a simple question: what happens when a cigar everyone’s been whispering about finally gets lit? Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy fire up the OZ Family Cigars Karatoba Robusto, a 5x52 that wastes no time making its case. Early impressions land on wood…

Happy Hour: Room 101 Farce, Connecticut With Attitude
Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Room 101 Farce. Connecticut Super Toro (6x56) and immediately derail the show by debating pronunciation, ring gauge philosophy, and whether this thing is way bigger than anyone actually wants. And the cigar itself refuses to behave like a traditional Conne…

The Yips, the Finish, and a $51 Bourbon
Tony and Fingers light up the Room 101 “Farce” (or is it Farce) Connecticut Super Toro 6x56 and immediately get derailed by the pronunciation, the bands, and the reality that this “Connecticut” is coming in way more wood-spice / cocoa / coffee than anybody expected.
