Step into the world of premium cigars, nostalgic candy debates, and surprising holiday revelations with Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy. Their casual, witty banter creates an atmosphere that feels like sharing drinks with old friends as they explore the HVC Hotcake cigar – a beautifully crafted Connecticut broadleaf with a Nicaraguan binder and filler that delivers rich chocolate and coffee notes, accompanied by a surprising pepper finish.

The hosts dive into America's candy preferences just in time for Halloween, debating the merits of everything from Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to the controversial Sour Patch Kids (which Tony insists "are not candy").
