Happy Hour -- Don Pepin Garcia E.R.H.

This week, Tony and Fingers review the K by Karen Berger Connecticut Toro, a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut with Nicaraguan binder and filler.

Connecticut cigars get dismissed too easily, and this one makes the case for why that is a mistake. The Karen Berger Connecticut brings creaminess, cedar, a touch of white pepper, some sweetness, and an easygoing profile that works in the morning, at night, with coffee, or whenever you feel like smoking a Connecticut because you are an adult and can live your life.

They also review Mayor Pingree Red Label Bourbon from Valentine Distilling in Ferndale, Michigan. It is a 94-proof bourbon that brings vanilla, oak, honey, spice, pepper, and a little orchard fruit — especially after adding water or putting it over a cube.

Also discussed: the best way to reheat pizza, using leftover pizza toppings in an omelet, Tony’s toaster paranoia, Subway closing hundreds of locations, Eric Clapton ending a concert early after being hit by a thrown record, whether Malört should be reviewed on the show, the strange human desire to eat painfully hot wings, and which cars thieves love to steal.

Tony and Fingers review Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, a seven-year, 90-proof wheat whiskey from Heaven Hill that delivers oak, vanilla, cinnamon, cream, fruit, and serious value for $20 to $30 a bottle.

They pair it with the Esteban Carreras Dictator’s Hand, a Nicaraguan puro with leather, wood, sweetness, and building white pepper.

Also: Mother’s Day brunch, Fingers’ colonoscopy timing, Hugh Jackman at Ball State, Spirit Airlines, oil prices, basement flooding, vacation water shutoffs, and Tony’s toaster paranoia.

Tony and Fingers review the Esteban Carreras Dictator’s Hand, a Nicaraguan puro formerly known as The Devil’s Hand, and break down its leather, wood, sweetness, white pepper, and harder-to-place flavor notes.

They also get into frozen pizza recalls, breakfast pizza, brisket sides, Spirit Airlines shutting down, cruise ship nightmares, and the very real joy of having your basement flood right after it was finished.
