Step into the world of bourbon tasting and cigar smoking with Tony Katz and America's favorite amateur drinker, Fingers Malloy. This episode takes you on a sensory adventure as they sample Basil Hayden Toast Bourbon and puff on the Las Calavaras 2025 cigar from Crowned Heads. Their candid conversation reveals the nuances of both, from the bourbon's subtle brown sugar notes to the cigar's peppery profile. Along the way, they dive into the absurdity of Thanksgiving-inspired Oreos, debate restaurant dining versus home cooking for the holiday, and discuss the rising costs of Thanksgiving meals across America.

Key Takeaways:

Basil Hayden Toast tasting notes: Brown sugar, nuttiness, and gentle warmth at 80 proof
Thanksgiving-inspired Oreos discussion (including the shocking $44.99 price tag)
Las Calavaras cigar review: High wood and pepper notes with a $15.25 price point
How water affects the bourbon (spoiler: not positively)
Thanksgiving dinner plans and menu preparations
Comparison of Thanksgiving meal costs across major retailers

Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, cigar aficionado, or simply enjoy lively conversation about food and drink, this episode delivers honest opinions and genuine reactions to these premium indulgences. Pour yourself something nice, light up if you're so inclined, and join Tony and Fingers for this entertaining exploration of flavors that will have you reaching for your own glass and humidor.

All that, and more, on an all-new Eat Drink Smoke!
