This week on Eat, Drink, Smoke, Tony Katz and America’s favorite amateur drinker, Fingers Malloy, light up the Crux Marblehead Toro (6x50)—and immediately get distracted by the cigar’s weirdly fascinating109-style “Marblehead” cap. Where do you cut it? How do you cut it? Do you need a V-cutter… or a prayer? Along the way, they break down the flavor profile (wood, spice, a little leather… maybe saddle… definitely not a handbag).

On the bourbon side, it’s Hirsch The Horizon Straight Bourbon (92 proof), a surprisingly easy pour with vanilla, oak, cinnamon, and just enough rye kick to keep it interesting. At the right price, it’s “buy-two-bottles” territory—and a potential milkshake/eggnog bourbon for the right kind of night.

Plus, News of the Week hits hard:


A massive frozen food recall due to potential glass contamination (yes, glass).


Sears is down to five remaining locations, which sparks a road trip idea that is absolutely the dumbest thing… and therefore must happen.


Relationship “experts” share what happy couples do on weeknights, and Tony and Fingers (obviously certified romance gurus) take the list apart with love, sarcasm, and a little righteous rage.


Breakfast cereals that “don’t taste the same anymore,” including a serious debate over Honey Nut Cheerios, cereal “wine,” and the slow death of childhood.

All that—and two guys trying to keep America safe from inferior peanut butter cups.
