Sometimes people get sick. Sometimes they get a cold. And sometimes Fingers Malloy sounds like he’s broadcasting from the shadow realm, while Tony Katz refuses to let him anywhere near the studio because a vacation is on the calendar and priorities are priorities.
In this Happy Hour episode, Tony smokes the El Rey del Mundo “The Appointment” — a 5x60 Gordo with a Cameroon wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf binder — while Fingers, sidelined by the creeping crud, does what he can from afar. What starts with caramel and cedar turns into a surprisingly spicy, medium-bodied cigar that delivers way more than expected — especially at $8.50 a stick.
From there, the conversation does what Happy Hour conversations do: Amazon gift nonsense, socks as an adult win, foot rubs (hard no), straw tumblers for men (also no), Spirit Airlines drama, holiday travel suffering, and a brutally honest discussion about retirement, money, bad habits, and why too many people wake up at 65 wondering where it all went.
No structure. No pressure.
Just cigars, life, and the kind of conversation that happens when the clock stops mattering.
