Step into the world of premium cigars with Tony Katz and "America's favorite amateur drinker," Fingers Malloy, as they unwrap Crowned Heads' annual limited release - The Las Calaveras 2025. This Mexican San Andreas wrapped beauty challenges expectations with its surprisingly peppery profile and medium-bodied complexity. But in today's cigar market, is the $15.25 price tag justified for this six-inch by 54-ring gauge toro?

Between puffs of cedar-spiced smoke, our hosts dive into the economics of modern cigar collecting, questioning if $15 is the new $12 in today's inflation-heavy market. The conversation weaves through Tony's exciting new Charbroil Infrared Oilless Turkey Fryer adventure (spoiler: it's a game-changer for Thanksgiving) and Fingers' brutally honest take on what's happening to Las Vegas as resort fees climb and simple pleasures like affordable coffee disappear.

Key Takeaways:

Introduction to the Las Calaveras 2025 and its lighter-than-expected Mexican San Andreas wrapper
First impressions - surprising pepper notes, woody flavors, and excellent draw
Discussion of cigar pricing in today's market: Is $15 the new $12?
Tony's exciting review of the Charbroil Infrared Oilless Turkey Fryer
Final thoughts on the cigar and its value proposition
Fingers' passionate critique of Las Vegas resort fees and disappearing value
