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 a five-pack for about $16.50 total on CigarBid. Yes, total. Roughly five cigars for the price of one.

That leads to a two-part breakdown:

• The CigarBid experience (not a sponsor… and they’re still upset about that)

• Whether the Excalibur is actually worth it once you get past the insane price

Wrapper, binder, filler, draw, spice, sweetness, cracked wrappers, notebook cigar reviews, and whether this is a $16 cigar you’d ever pay full price for — it’s all on the table.

From there, the show does what it does best:

• Why big game parties are terrible for people who actually want to watch the game

• The correct hierarchy of game-day food (and why boneless wings are just nuggets)

• The most dangerous “lazy” football dips known to man

• Valentine’s Day gift ideas that range from surprisingly thoughtful to absolutely questionable

It’s cigars, food, bourbon, bargains, and the kind of arguments only people who’ve known each other too long can have.
