It Was A Great Day For The Premium Cigar Industry - Reviews Of The West Tampa Tobacco Company Red Toro And Rattle and Snap 8-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey

Tony Katz — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0400

This week, Tony and Fingers reviewed The West Tampa Tobacco Company Red Toro and Rattle and Snap 8-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey.

It's not just a win, it's a HUGE win for the cigar industry. Judge Amit Mehta, who just last year declared regulations from the Food and Drug Administration on the cigar industry "arbitrary and capricious," has now dismissed the Deeming Rule the FDA attempted to put in place.

The Deeming Rule stated that cigars can be regulated by the FDA just like cigarettes are. Of course, anyone who smokes premium cigars can tell you how insane that is.

Josh Habursky, Deputy Executive Director of the Premium Cigar Association – and Glynn Loope, State Advocacy Director of the Premium Cigar Association, join the show to explain what this ruling means for the industry, for your local cigar lounge, and for any small business dealing with onerous regulations.

Other topics this week include:
Details of the new contract between the Teamsters Union and UPS.
After a month-long social media frenzy, the mystery woman who went viral after her meltdown on a plane has been identified. Now what?
Tony and Fingers celebrate their 250th episode of Eat Drink Smoke, with a flashback to episode 1.

All that and much more on episode 250 of Eat! Drink! Smoke!

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 140 - Drink The Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, Review The American From J.C. Newman, Congress Looking To Limit The FDA On Premium Cigars, Fair Wage Fees At Restaurants And A New Scary Weight-loss Tool

Tony Katz — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This week Tony and Fingers asked themselves "what would be the perfect drink for Independence Day weekend?"

The answer was beer. But they couldn't get away from their bourbon roots. So, the guys decided to put it all together by drinking the Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout from the New Holland Brewing Company.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Dragon’s Milk White, the guys smoked The American cigar from J.C. Newman.

There's a bipartisan movement in Congress to get the FDA out of regulating premium cigars. Tony explains why this is a great idea that is long overdue.

A North Carolina restaurant has added a 20% gratuity called a ‘Fair Wage Service Fee’ to every bill for dine-in customers. The restaurant owner sees the fee as a method to close the wage gap between staff who did not make tips and those who did. Will customers go along with this new fee? Should they?

Meanwhile in Texas, a restaurant chain is offering teenagers the opportunity to earn $50,000 as an attempt to lure workers to seek gainful employment. The process involves hiring teens and training them in-house to move into management. Will this be the new way business hire people?

There is a new weight loss tool which gets wired into a patient's mouth that looks like some sort of torture device. The fellas describe it, and list the many reasons why it's a bad idea.
