Eat Drink Smoke is the bourbon and cigar review show for everyone!
You'll get reviews you can use, in a way you can understand them. There's also great takes on the stories dominating the week, but without the anger of social media. Eat Drink Smoke is the podcast that fits into your life because it's just like you - interested in new things, good people and honest, funny conversation.
Eat Drink Smoke is hosted by long-time radio host and entertainer Tony Katz, with co-host Fingers Malloy.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy talk amazing spirits, brilliant cigars and great food.

Eat Drink Smoke

Do You Take Your Phone Into The Bathroom?

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy review the Perla Del Mar Maduro Double Toro, a budget-friendly box-pressed cigar from J.C. Newman that delivers rich broadleaf flavor, solid construction, and enough spice, cedar, and earth to make it an easy humidor pick at around $7.50 a stick. They also pour George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky, talk through its light profile, subtle sweetness, and how a little water or ice helps bring out more oak, spice, and vanilla — even if it still falls short of earning a permanent spot in the liquor cabinet.

Along the way, the guys tear into a disastrous Gas Station Finds review of Reese’s White Eggs, debate Walmart’s new digital shelf labels and the possibility of dynamic pricing, react to a People magazine report on rising death rates among Gen X and elder millennials, and get into whether social media is quietly making everyone older, angrier, and more miserable. There’s also a detour into Ruth’s Chris enforcing its dress code, golf attire, convertible midlife-crisis math, and why some old-school brands are still worth your time.

It’s cigars, whiskey, candy, grocery-store paranoia, aging, internet rage, and the usual wandering chaos that make Eat Drink Smoke what it is.

On this episode of Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy pour a bold Indiana bourbon and break down what all those whiskey labels actually mean. They dive into Fenwick’s Single Barrel Bourbon 5-Year-Old Cask Strength, talk through the difference between cask strength, barrel strength, full proof, and single barrel, and then discover a bottle that changes dramatically once a little water or ice gets involved. At 118.3 proof, this one brings big caramel, vanilla, and a serious kick — but also one of the most surprising transformations they’ve had in years.

The guys also revisit the Aganorsa Leaf La Validación Habano Toro, talk about where it lands in the strength and flavor profile, and make the case for keeping notes on what you smoke, what you drink, and how a cigar changes from the first third to the final third.

Along the way, they get into the Weber grill-brush recall, the dangers of wire bristles, how to clean your grill the right way, and why people will spend serious money on a grill but cheap out on taking care of it. There’s also a detour into McDonald’s gimmicks, a bizarre CEO sandwich moment, and Tony’s behind-the-scenes story from attending the State of the Union, complete with security, checked phones, confiscated cigars, and a view of Congress that turned out to be better than the speech itself.

It’s bourbon, cigars, grills, McDonald’s, politics without the politics, and the kind of wandering conversation that makes Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour exactly what it’s supposed to be.

Happy Hour - Fenwick’s Single Barrel Bourbon 5-Year-Old Cask Strength

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/7074afc3-1d45-48d6-9cc4-b41500dcc6bc/transcript

On this episode of Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy smoke the Aganorsa Leaf La Validación Habano Toro, and dig into a cigar that brings plenty of spice, wood, and pepper at a very friendly price point. Tony breaks down the Habano wrapper, the cold draw, and why this stick might deserve a spot in your humidor, while Fingers weighs in on the leather, wood, and overall value.

Along the way, the guys also try a ricotta-and-almond cake mix hack that somehow turns into a bigger conversation about soft cookies, getting kids comfortable in the kitchen, and whether parents are actually preparing their kids for life. Then it’s on to airline etiquette, as United finally cracks down on passengers blasting audio without headphones, which leads to the only reasonable conclusion: some people should be ejected directly from the cabin.

And because it’s Happy Hour, Fingers brings in a true gas-station special: Smirnoff Ice Shorties Red, White, and Berry. The results are... not encouraging. There’s blue raspberry, cough syrup, regret, and just enough alcohol to make everybody wonder how this ever made it into a bottle.

It’s cigars, cake hacks, airline rage, gas-station booze, and the kind of chaos that makes Eat Drink Smoke Happy Hour exactly what it’s supposed to be.
