Get ready for a lively discussion on bourbon trends, cigar pairings, and generational differences - all with a heavy dose of humor.

Tony and Fingers dive right in, analyzing the latest news about major shifts in the bourbon industry. Are younger generations turning away from whiskey? They debate the implications. The guys also review standout cigars and bourbons, including the hard-to-find Arturo Fuente Shark and Costco's Kirkland Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon.

Tony and Fingers keep the Thanksgiving weekend chill rolling with another round of the Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Sophisticated Hooker, then turn to meat, money, and modern misery.

First up: meat. They shout out Defiance Beef, talking quarter, half, and whole cow orders, 21-day aging, ribeyes, strips, brisket, and why freezer beef might be the smartest “Black Friday” buy you can make.

Then Tony unveils his own barrel pick:


Old Hamer 11-Year Single Barrel (selected by Tony Katz)


99% corn, 1% malted barley, a monster at 127.6 proof


Big butterscotch, cocoa, oak, cinnamon heat, sting on the tongue but a surprisingly gentle chest warmth

Fingers nearly tears up after a sip and warns that this pairing—Rare Pink plus 127-proof bourbon—is not for the faint of heart.

From there, they dig into the real world:


Foreclosures up 20%, car repos climbing, and zero-percent car deals that scream “trouble.”


Why some people are still spending like crazy while falling behind on mortgages and auto loans.


Streaming overload: multiple services, skyrocketing sports rights, and how NFL Sunday Ticket and exclusive games are punishing traditional cable viewers.


The slow fade of channels like MTV and Cartoon Network, and what that means for old-school cable.

Big cigar, bigger bourbon, and a sober look at an economy that doesn’t quite add up.

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

Happy Hour -- Old Hamer 11-Year Single Barrel (Selected by Tony Katz)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/722f5ac3-8d76-45c2-9d1e-b3ad002f9d3d/transcript

Slowed down, stuffed, and still smoking — Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy ride out Thanksgiving weekend with a rare Arturo Fuente and a whole lot of cultural madness.

Tony and Fingers ease into the holiday haze with the Arturo Fuente Rare Pink “Sophisticated Hooker” — a 7¼ x 53 Diadema with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, and a white-pepper spice that works its way across the palate. They break down why Rare Pinks are so coveted, whether they’re worth the chase, and how MSRP ($17.75) becomes fantasy once the secondary market gets involved.

The guys also recap Tony’s Thanksgiving cigar marathon (yes, six cigars in 30 hours), the joys of brisket smoking overnight, and why cold-weather cigar logistics separate the casuals from the committed.

From there, they swing into a deeply fun, deeply ridiculous cultural grab bag:


Influencers behaving badly — including a chronic dine-and-dash “Instagram star” arrested six times for scamming New York restaurants, even trying to barter stolen kitchen shears at Peter Luger’s.


The decline of thank-you notes and the rise of singing telegrams — including Fingers’ nightmare scenario of receiving one.


Black Friday memories, mayhem, and today’s endless “deals” — from 98-inch TVs under $1,000 to conversations about whether any of us really need designer sneakers, more AirPods, or another laptop.


PC vs. Mac truce negotiations, because do either of them even know what version of Windows exists anymore?

Throughout, Tony and Fingers keep the Rare Pink smoke rolling, noting shifts from spice to hay to wood, and reflecting on how this year’s cigars and bourbons stack up heading into their Top Cigars & Top Bourbons of 2025 lists.

It’s the perfect post-holiday episode: relaxed, flavorful, a little silly, and full of those classic Eat! Drink! Smoke! left-turn conversations you can’t get anywhere else.

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

Happy Hour -- Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Sophisticated Hooker

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/78a347aa-3282-4ac5-837c-a72300032082/clips/6947d417-de92-4e71-9f66-b3ad002f8d9a/transcript

Are you ready to unwind after the holiday rush? Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy invite you to join them in a relaxed post-Thanksgiving episode where they're taking it easy just like you. The duo lights up Arturo Fuente Rare Pink "Sophisticated Hooker" cigars (named after a fishing boat!) and samples Tony's exclusive barrel pick from West Fork Whiskey.

Between puffs and sips, they dive into discussions about the rise of foreclosures, the absurdity of "influencer" culture, and the importance of writing thank-you notes in our digital age. The conversation meanders through Black Friday deals, the economics of streaming services, and whether a 98-inch television is simply too much (spoiler: Tony thinks not).

Key Takeaways:

Cigar review: The Arturo Fuente Rare Pink "Sophisticated Hooker" with its Ecuadorian habano wrapper and distinctive white pepper spice notes

The duo discusses the fraudulent "influencer" who's been arrested six times for dining and dashing at upscale restaurants

The lost art of thank-you notes and proper etiquette in the digital age

Tony unveils his barrel pick: West Fork Whiskey Old Hamer 11-Year Bourbon (127.6 proof) with notes of butterscotch, cinnamon, and oak

Economic discussion: Rising foreclosures and vehicle repossessions signaling trouble ahead

The overwhelming cost of streaming services and the decline of cable TV

Whether you're still in your turkey (or brisket) coma or just looking for some entertaining conversation to accompany your weekend relaxation, this episode delivers with the perfect blend of spirits, smokes, and spirited discussion. Pour yourself something nice, light up if you're so inclined, and join Tony and Fingers for this laid-back holiday weekend special.

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