About this Episode

Tony and Fingers ask the important question: Is your HOA out of control? Fingers has a neighborhood watchdog, a grabber, and apparently a man monitoring street parking like it’s a federal investigation.

This week, the guys review the Cuban Seed Cigar Company Cohiba Grand Pyramid and the Cody Road Single Barrel Rye.

The cigar is a massive 6.5 x 54 pyramid with a Corojo Habano wrapper and a wood-forward profile, but construction issues raise the big question: is it worth the $55 price tag?

The rye brings fruit, banana bread, light spice, and a little heat — but at nearly $50 a bottle, “pretty good” may not be good enough.

Also this week: Las Vegas continues its war on the middle-class gambler, casino buffets are disappearing, brisket prices are ridiculous, Tony’s Memorial Day brisket cook goes sideways, Walmart and Ollie’s recall a children’s toy over asbestos concerns, and NPR faces newsroom cuts.
