Step into the world of premium cigars and spirits as hosts Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy explore La Aurora's 1903 Cameroon cigar paired with the intriguing Burning Chair Bourbon. This episode takes listeners on a sensory adventure through the distinctive qualities of Cameroon wrappers and wine barrel-finished bourbon that literally brings the heat.

Tony opens with his affection for Cameroon wrappers, describing the 5¾ x 54 La Aurora as having a monotone dark brown color with a velvety, suede-like touch. As they light up, the hosts discover subtle cedar notes, a touch of nuttiness, and a clean smoke that develops leather and spice characteristics throughout the experience. The cigar's Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers paired with an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder create a medium-to-full bodied profile that both hosts agree delivers exceptional value at just $7 per stick.

Key Takeaways:

Initial impressions of the La Aurora 1903 Cameroon: velvety texture, cedar notes, and clean smoke
Discussion of cigar journaling techniques and how weather, food, and drink affect your palate
Introduction of Burning Chair Bourbon (88 proof, 4-year aged, finished in Cabernet barrels)
Tasting notes: sweet profile with 75% corn mash bill, oak influence, and wine-like qualities
Tony's surprising reaction to the bourbon's intense chest heat despite its moderate proof
Final verdict: Both hosts agree the $7 La Aurora cigar belongs in the humidor
The Burning Chair Bourbon ($54.99) receives approval for the liquor cabinet

The hosts also venture into discussions about housing affordability, streaming services versus cable TV, and Fingers' questionable gas station breakfast habits that somehow haven't killed him yet.

Ready to experience this flavor journey yourself? Grab a La Aurora 1903 Cameroon and a glass of Burning Chair Bourbon, then listen along as these gentlemen guide you through the nuances of these affordable luxury indulgences.

All that, and more, on an all-new Eat Drink Smoke!
