As the calendar flips toward the end of the year, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy settle in for a Happy Hour episode of Eat Drink Smoke.

The guys light up the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich “Off Menu” TAA exclusive, a bold Pennsylvania Broadleaf box-press with unmistakable earthiness, bonfire notes, and serious heft. Fingers and Tony break down flavor, construction, pairing ideas, and whether this cigar earns a permanent spot in the humidor.

Along the way, they cover:

• A surprising ice cream recall involving… small stones

• What slowing bourbon consumption could mean for distilleries big and small

• Why Beam is pausing production — and what that says about changing habits

• The impact of Ozempic, mocktails, and generational shifts on drinking culture

• Airports are allowing non-travelers past TSA for the first time in decades

• And why airline security still feels like theater instead of protection

It’s cigars, drinks, food, travel, and culture — with plenty of side commentary — exactly the way Eat Drink Smoke does Happy Hour.
