Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Room 101 Farce. Connecticut Super Toro (6x56) and immediately derail the show by debating pronunciation, ring gauge philosophy, and whether this thing is way bigger than anyone actually wants.

And the cigar itself refuses to behave like a traditional Connecticut.
Instead of creamy and mild, it comes out swinging with wood spice, cocoa, coffee-adjacent bitterness, and enough personality to raise questions about aging, draw issues, and whether Tony is suffering from… the yips.

Along the way:


Fingers becomes a confirmed “fitness influencer”


Notebook cigar science makes a comeback


The humidor becomes a metaphor for happiness


Goodwill donation rules spiral into a flea market fever dream


“Flea market table fruit” is born (and should probably be avoided)


A long-overdue cigar giveaway apology is issued (seriously… we’re sorry)


GameStop store closures turn into Atari nostalgia


Tariffs, car prices, gas prices, and beef all collide in one conversation


Backup cameras, emissions standards, and $1,000 car payments get dragged into the light

Plus: a reminder that cigars should never feel like work, slowing down matters, and sometimes the second third is worth fighting for… even if the first one made you question everything.
