The Bourbon That Salutes Back

Tony Katz — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0400

America’s 250th birthday is coming, and Eat Drink Smoke is getting ready the only way it knows how — with hot dogs, cigars, bourbon and a little bit of chaos.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy preview the perfect Independence Day setup with Costco hot dogs, the great charcoal vs. propane debate, and whether America can survive another 250 years if people keep putting pets on airplane tray tables.

The featured cigar is the J.C. Newman The American 250th, a commemorative cigar celebrating the nation’s semiquincentennial. Tony and Fingers break down the cigar’s classic American-made blend, its “beefy lancero” feel, and whether it belongs in your humidor for the Fourth of July.

The drink review features the Evan Williams Single Barrel America 250 Commemorative Edition Bourbon, clocking in at a very patriotic 117.76 proof. It brings oak, heat, spice, caramel and enough firepower to make Fingers question several life choices.

Also on this episode: bedbug travel fears, how late is too late for caffeine, Trader Joe’s mini tote madness, M&M’s dropping colors, the Senate taking on housing costs, and why emotional support animals do not belong on airplane tray tables.

Light the cigar, pour the bourbon neat, grill the hot dogs, and celebrate America 250 with Eat Drink Smoke.
