Fingers Malloy is officially the worst person in the world. At least according to Tony Katz — who is now sick, blaming Fingers for transmitting a cold through the internet, and attempting to smoke a cigar anyway like the grown man he is.

This week on Eat Drink Smoke, Tony and Fingers power through head colds, sinus misery, and questionable medical science to bring you the Crowned Heads Belgian Blue (2025) — a hard box-pressed, crease-sharp, San Andrés-wrapped cigar that might actually be capable of giving you a paper cut. Is it peppery? Cocoa-forward? Woodsy? Impossible to say when your nose is completely useless… but that won’t stop the debate.

Along the way:


Cigars as a COLD prevention (according to the Fingers Malloy Institute of Institutes for Institutes)


Why smoking with a cold is a terrible idea — and why they did it anyway


Grocery stores were closing for Christmas, and the panic of running out of tarragon


The case for growing your own herbs… or at least inventing Pocket Parsley


HOA rules, neighbor signatures, dumpsters, and why HOAs attract a certain type


Why parsley is pointless, basil rules, and Captain Crunch is the real garnish


Rob Reiner, Spinal Tap, Hollywood logic, and why “the show must go on”


The secrets to living past 90 (according to the internet), including butter, routine, walking, and sheer stubbornness


Fingers Malloy Sr., 87 years old, eating like a legend and proving cholesterol fears are a myth


Vacation cigars, $2 sticks, and why the ritual matters even when the flavors don’t

It’s bourbon, cigars, food, culture, and two guys refusing to cancel a show just because their sinuses are trying to kill them.

Light one up.
Or don’t.
They’ll do it for you.

Is it peppery? Cocoa-forward? Woodsy? Impossible to say when your nose is completely useless&hellip; but that won&rsquo;t stop the debate.
