This week on Eat Drink Smoke, Tony and Fingers light up the Liar’s Bench Silver Tongue, a 6x54 Dominican puro with a Corojo wrapper, Habano binder, and plenty of spice. It makes a better impression on Fingers than Tony, but both agree Liar’s Bench is a brand worth keeping an eye on.

Then it’s back to one of the show’s longtime bourbon favorites: Old Grand-Dad 114. At 114 proof, it delivers caramel, oak, spice, a little vanilla and cinnamon — and remains one of the best values sitting on the bourbon shelf. Especially when Tony finds it for twenty bucks.

They pair it with Maker’s Mark Made for the Brave Cask Strength bourbon, a 110.5-proof bottle supporting Project One Vet at a Time. Plus, Snickers Cake Bites wildly exceed expectations, a parasite causes some very unpleasant digestive problems, Tony questions whether you can make real barbecue without a grill, and Fingers reveals the little white lies bartenders tell when the bar gets slammed.
