On this latest episode of EDS, Tony and Fingers review the Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper cigar and 2XO Oak Series American Oak.

This Gatekeeper is a 6x52 Ecuadorian habano-wrapped beauty which showcases Nicaragua's finest tobacco with a Nicaraguan and Dominican filler. The hosts immediately note its substantial hand feel and attractive appearance - brown with mottled black streaking through the oily, gritty wrapper. As they progress through the smoke, they identify a journey from initial bready sweetness and nuttiness to a building cedar-like spice that dominates the middle third before revealing more tobacco-forward flavors.

Key Takeaways:
Introduction to Alec Bradley's sale and the Gatekeeper cigar's specifications
Discussion of the cigar's flavor profile - initial toast and nutty notes with building spice
The importance of keeping tasting notes to track your cigar experiences
Tasting 2XO Oak Series American Oak bourbon (92 proof)
News segment covering corporate media layoffs
Discussion about wedding sponsorships and modern wedding traditions

The hosts pair their Gatekeeper with 2XO Oak Series American Oak bourbon, noting how ice brings out more fruit notes and tames the initial ethanol heat. At $49.99 a bottle, they agree it's a worthwhile addition to any liquor cabinet, particularly when served on the rocks.

Ready to explore these flavors yourself? The Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper offers an accessible yet complex smoking experience at around $13 per stick - a worthy addition to any humidor for both casual smokers and aficionados alike.

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