Shorts at a Steakhouse?

Tony and Fingers take the show outside to enjoy perfect deck weather, the A.J. Fernandez New World Decenio 10th Anniversary Toro, and a Four Roses Private Selection OESQ bourbon.

They break down the Decenio’s Mexican San Andrés wrapper, cocoa sweetness, oak, leather and steady medium-bodied profile before deciding whether the $14 cigar deserves a permanent spot in the humidor. Then they taste a nine-year, eight-month Four Roses single-barrel selection that clocks in at 111 proof but drinks far smoother than expected.

Also this week: steakhouse dress-code violations, whether shorts should ever be allowed near a serious steak, a massive alleged Medicaid fraud scheme, why millions of prime-age men are leaving the workforce, a possible Eat Drink Smoke road-trip to Orlando, pumpkin spice arriving far too early, and the mysterious cyclospora outbreak causing nationwide lettuce panic.

Plus, listener questions, road-trip stories, expensive nightclub receipts and the shocking revelation that Tony may never successfully retrohale a cigar.
