Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Year of the Duque and immediately get stuck on the most important question of all: how exactly do you pronounce it? Along the way, they break down the cigar’s rich, low-maintenance smoking experience, talk through notes of wood, char, cocoa, and spice, and debate whether a 5x48 stick at nearly eighteen bucks earns a place in the humidor.

On the drink side, they crack open Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select and ask the big question: Is the presentation, the pedigree, and the price tag worth it? There’s plenty of talk about banana on the nose, cherry, brown sugar, oak, and whether this Tennessee whiskey is a true splurge bottle or just a handsome box with a famous name on it.

Also in the mix: birthday freebies at chain restaurants, the madness of modern tipping culture, mystery hotel fees, sleep advice from the internet, Fingers’ mullet era, and the kind of lounge conversation that somehow goes from cigars and whiskey to transcendental meditation and international politics without ever losing the thread.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy go hunting for a bourbon they haven’t tried before and come away impressed by Hirsch The Horizon, a 92-proof straight bourbon that brings more to the table than its proof point might suggest.

Sourced from MGP in Indiana and built from two different mash bills, Hirsch The Horizon opens with vanilla, oak, and a little fruit on the nose, then settles into a sip that delivers subtle rye spice, a touch of cinnamon, and an easy, creamy finish.

What Tony and Fingers like most is that it doesn’t try too hard.

This isn’t a punch-you-in-the-face bourbon. It’s approachable, balanced, and the kind of bottle that works whether you’re pouring a glass for yourself or setting one out for the whole room. They also talk through how it changes with a little water, which cocktails it could work in, and whether it belongs in the liquor cabinet at different price points.

And the answer gets a lot easier when the shelf price drops into bargain territory.

There’s also a brief update on the Crux Marblehead, which continues to smoke well and make a strong case as a solid value cigar.

Also in this episode:


Whether classic breakfast cereals still taste the way they used to


A debate over Honey Nut Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Corn Pops, Kix, and Count Chocula


A very serious discussion about whether Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have changed


Olympic hockey, gold medals, and why some people get annoyed when other people enjoy things

It’s bourbon, nostalgia, candy controversy, and the usual wandering detours that make Eat, Drink, Smoke what it is.

Happy Hour --  Hirsch The Horizon

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/e80b975a-998c-44a2-b5bb-b40600e22018/transcript

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Crux Marblehead Toro (6x50) and immediately run into one of the most confusing cigar caps you’ll ever see.

The Marblehead name comes from the 109-style Cuban cap, which sits somewhere between a traditional rounded cap and a belicoso tip. Translation: it looks cool… but it also raises an important question.

Where exactly are you supposed to cut the thing?

Tony and Fingers break down the cap design, the cutting strategy, and whether this cigar might actually be a V-cut kind of smoke. Along the way, they dig into the blend:


Ecuadorian Habano wrapper


Indonesian binder


Nicaraguan filler

Right out of the gate, the flavor profile surprises them. Instead of a spice bomb, the cigar opens with wood notes, a touch of leather, and a balanced spice that stays controlled rather than overpowering.

And here’s the real surprise.

At around $8 per stick, the Crux Marblehead might be one of the better value cigars they’ve smoked recently. The guys even float the idea that it could land on a future value list if the profile holds steady through the rest of the smoke.

Also in this episode:

• A frozen food recall involving possible glass contamination in chicken fried rice
• The ongoing debate over prime rib in a smoker vs the oven
• Whether reverse-searing a steak actually improves it
• The surprising return of an old-school steakhouse memory from a trip to 801 Chop House

It’s cigars, food, and the kind of debates that only happen when two guys sit down with a good smoke and start arguing about meat.
