Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the CAO Arcana Stokk Belicoso, a limited-edition 6.5x52 cigar with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and a distinctive filler blend that includes Cyprian Latakia pipe tobacco. The guys break down the cigar’s unusual look, easy draw, impressive construction, and evolving flavor profile, while trying to decide whether the smoky, woody character makes this a hidden gem worth keeping in the humidor.

Then they crack open Kirkland Signature Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Costco, a 92-proof pour with a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley. Tony and Fingers dig into the bourbon’s odd but intriguing mix of salt, oak, pepper, and just enough sweetness to make it an easy everyday drinker at a price that’s hard to argue with.

Also in this episode: another edition of Gas Station Finds featuring Pop Daddy Birthday Cake Popcorn, a conversation about whether home distilling should have ever been banned in the first place, a look at AI panic and how people are actually using it, why furniture shopping feels like psychological warfare, Hulu folding deeper into Disney+, the Jacksonville Jaguars temporarily heading to Orlando, and what the ongoing Iran conflict could mean for travel, fuel, fertilizer, and everyday prices.

It’s cigars, bourbon, snacks, news, and the usual amount of completely unnecessary honesty.
