Tony Katz has a cold, and Fingers Malloy is officially the worst person in the world — because obviously he “gave it to him” through a computer connection (even though they haven’t seen each other in two weeks). Science!

The guys light up the Crowned Heads Belgian Blue (2025) — a 5.5x56 box press with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper (and a crease so sharp it could give you a paper cut) — and talk about the cruel reality of reviewing cigars when your sinuses are staging a hostile takeover. Tony powers through a retrohale attempt, Fingers talks spice early, and they get into the bigger question: are there too many annual cigar releases, and do they mess with long-term brand loyalty?

On the pour, Tony refuses to waste a “new bottle” on a busted palate and goes back to a value banger: Kirkland Signature Bottled-in-Bond (100 proof) — a Costco staple that still feels like a rare deal in bourbon.

Plus: grocery-store panic that isn’t the apocalypse, “pocket parsley,” HOA headaches, and News of the Week— including holiday outrage over painted Christmas trees.

Cigar: Crowned Heads Belgian Blue (2025) (MSRP $13.50)
Bourbon: Kirkland Signature Bottled-in-Bond (100 proof)
