It took six months for one of our local cigar lounges to get Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond bourbon in their shop. And since they had it, we drank it. But what's the price point? And, do we even care?

Tony Katz — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 12:00:00 -0400

Nothing like celebrating Independence Day with a taste of Irish Whisky. Today it's a review of Redbreast Lustau Single Pot Still Irish Whisky, which impressed Tony and Fingers immensly. But is it worth the $65 MSRP?

The Red Breast was paired up with the Goldie Churchill cigar from La Palina, with a MSRP of $23 a stick.

Tony Katz hosts the latest Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, now heard on radio stations across the country!

A Baby Guinness is coffee liquer and irish cream. Tony never even knew it existed, and now he can't live without it! Texas reduced bar capacity to 50% because of an uptick of coronavirus cases. That led bar owners to come together and sue the state. Virgina has doubled their cigar tax, and Las Vegas is trying to figure out how you wear a mask and smoke a cigar at the same time! (Hint: You don't.)

Fingers Malloy has the News of the Week, including a new Beam is coming and a carbon-neutral distillery...if that kind of thing matters to you. Plus, 90 year-olds are having babies!

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 87 - Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Davidoff Escurio Cigar and Costco Stops Selling Sheet Cake!

Tony Katz — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Do you buy your bourbon based on taste, or on price? The value you put to bourbon takes many forms. That's what makes the review of Basil Hayden Kentucky Straight Bourbon so interesting. It's good juice, but at an MSRP of $56, is it in your liquor cabinet?

We paired it up with the Davidoff Escurio, a wonderfully balanced cigar that brings worthy spice and wood.

Tony Katz hosts the latest Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, now heard on radio stations across the country!

Costco has stopped selling sheet cake, because in the age of coronavirus they don't want to encourage large gatherings. However, they still sell the 10" cake; but how many slices can you get out of it? Everyman Fingers Malloy takes his knife to the cake to determine the right number of slices. Also, Costco makes pretty good cake!

There's News of the Week, the increase in cigar sales across the country and Georgia finds more ways to let businesses deliver booze. Plus, there's croissant crust pizza and Michigan is going after cigar smokers.

Tony Katz — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 16:00:00 -0400

The summer brings mixed drinks, and today it's a review of True North - a take off of the original Tom Collins recipe, with a mix of gin, lemoncello and grapefruit juice. It sounds fruity, but it packs a punch.

The cigar is a Avo Classic #2 Maduro. Yes, maduro. The classic Avo cigar in a wrapper that increases the sweetness without losing the traditional flavor.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 84 - Protests and Riots and Making Changes in America: Why Aren't We Solving Problems?

Tony Katz — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 23:00:00 -0400

George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. The video, watched by America, disgusts and frightens rational people. Protests have begun across the nation, demanding action and changes to policing. Protests matter, and protesters should be protected. Rioters - those destroying private property and people's livelihoods - should not be allowed to prosper.

But why can't we discuss the possible changes without the nation devolving into right vs. left, black vs. white, Republican vs. Democrat insanity. It's our country...so what's our plan?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, it's a review of High West American Prairie bourbon and the Herrera Esteli Maduro cigar.

How do the riots and the protests effect the 2020 election? Has Trump's handling of the public outcry hurt him? Can he win people over with a stronger push on "law and order?" Will Joe Biden try and win over the far left by coming out as anti-cop?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 82 - The Lockdown Insanity Has Everyone Asking What Kind of Nation Are We? And Some People Think They Are Ants

Tony Katz — Sun, 17 May 2020 23:00:00 -0400

People in America are divided about lockdowns. Some want to stay ultra-safe from coronavirus, and some want to lick all the doorknobs! Well, not really. It's that some think opening is dangerous and others think staying locked down is dangerous. But even more people are questioning why politicos and media types are so heavily invested in lockdowns: Is there a political win in staying at home?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. The podcast was recorded live at Smoker's Choice in Brownsburg, IN.

It's a review of Jefferson's Very Small Batch bourbon and the La Gloria Cubana Coleccion Reserva Presidente cigar.

Over one million Americans identify as ants. Or, at least their Facebook activity says so. How Tony's Rabbi has learned to love cheeseburgers, and how the "New Normal" isn't a real thing.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 81 - Gather The Mercedes Driving Cigar Smokers, Expel The Hate Filled Politicos and How To Accept Your Coronavirus Panic Attack

Tony Katz — Sun, 03 May 2020 21:00:00 -0400

The coronavirus stay-at-home orders have made people crazy. But for many, it's not the staying at home: It's the hate. Media hates Trump, politicos hate protesters - it's viciousness that can lead many to wonder what the hell happened to their country.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. With Fingers Malloy, they review Redneck Riviera American Whiskey and La Aroma De Cuba box press cigar.

Coronavirus has people confronting issues with lonliness and depression and panic attacks, but also has families coming together, cooking together and finding new ways to engage. Culturally, America will be changed in many ways....possibly for years to come.

A group of guys got into their Mercedes, headed to an empty parking lot and had a cigar. This isn't a problem, this is fantastic! And it can be done without the Mercedes.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 79 - Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Power-Hungry Play For VP and Alyssa Milano Thinks You're A Killer

Tony Katz — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 19:00:00 -0400

Lots of governors are showing their power-hungy side during coronavirus, trying to ban near everything and control the movements of everyone. Social distancing is one thing, but what Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is doing is just madness.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Tony is on his deck, enjoying Bravo Bourbon from Hotel Whiskey Tango and an Avo Domaine 70 cigar. Fingers Malloy is on his patio, nursing a Busted Knuckle porter from Quaff On brewing, while enjoying an AJ Fernandez New World.

Gov. Whitmer is not only banning travel to one's own property, she has banned the sale of seeds. Yes....like tomato seeds, to grow your own food. When does America decide to open up, and how do we handle these shameful elected officials?

Actress Alyssa Milano, who continues to be the activist no one ever asked for, has noticed that more people are buying guns because of coronavirus. She fears this means that people will become insane, and use them in school shootings. Listen to the most amazing straw man argument ever!

Stay safe. Wash your hands. Smoke cigars.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 77 - Joe Biden Has a Podcast, the Failure of Coronavirus Experts and This Calls for Courvoisier

Tony Katz — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 22:00:00 -0400

Coronavirus continues to dominate the news. And while there are amazing stories of heroism and good works by Americans, media and politicos can't stop the hate. Speaker Pelosi says President Trump is "fiddling" while people die, and he's holding back on providing needed medical equipment. Of course, there is no proof of this. So why say it, other than hate?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com For the first time, it's a review of cognac; Courvoisier VS. It is paired with the CLE Prieto box press cigar.

Joe Biden has started a podcast, called "Here's The Deal." He's running for president, so why is he acting like a talk show host? And is Tucker Carlson right? Will Biden not last as a candidate?

Stay safe. Wash your hands.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 76! - Stuck in the House with Big House Bourbon over Coronavirus. And Jon Cryer is a jerk.

Tony Katz — Sun, 22 Mar 2020 12:00:00 -0400

With all the coronavirus talk in America, a few things never change:

Some people only want to help.
Some people only want power.
Some people don't even know what's going on.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, Tony and Fingers Malloy review Big House Bourbon (on sale for $8.99!!) and the Liga Privada Ratzilla cigar.

Also true: many countries lie about how they are being affected. Is China one of them? And actor Jon Cryer from Two and a Half Men has the worst Trump Hate Tweet ever written. And that's saying something!

Due to coronavirus, Eat! Drink! Smoke! was recorded in Tony's garage.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 75 - Out Of The Self-Quarantine, But Coronavirus Has Gotten Worse...Except For Those Who Won't Let A Crisis Go To Waste

Tony Katz — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 14:00:00 -0400

Eat! Drink! Smoke! hosts Tony Katz wasn't in a quarantine. Co-Host Fingers Malloy was in a self-imposed quarantine. Neither one of them had or ahs coronavirus. But after a week of working from home and staying away from work, they both know that the virus is spreading, and the panic is unnecessary.

But what's worse than the panic is desire of elected officials to use the crisis to achieve their ideological agenda. Forget your politics: Why is an Illinois mayor using coronavirus as a way to stop gun sales?

The Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast is presented by Fanimation.com. They review the Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey and the Litto Gomez No. 7 cigar. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 74 - We've Been Put In Self-Quarantine For Coronavirus. No...Seriously. Here's the Story...

Tony Katz — Sun, 08 Mar 2020 17:00:00 -0400

All they did was attend the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, MD, just next door to Washington DC. Yet one attendee tested positive for coronavirus. They're both fine, but Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy still have to deal with self-quarantine. Seriously.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Sitting on separate decks, they review the Rocky Patel 2003 Vintage Cameroon cigar, the Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro cigar, Old Forester bourbon and a coffee liquor that has Fingers embarrassed about who he is as a man.

Yes, they are in self-quarantine. No leaving the house for the rest of the week. They're both calm, but the panic across America is pure madness. And why are people making runs on toilet paper at Costco? Nevermind the inability to find hand sanitzer in any store! Can Americans deal with a problem without manufacturing a crisis, and without losing their minds?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 73 - Super Tuesday and the Biden Payoff, Bloomberg's Gross Eating Habits And How Dr. Drew Pinsky Set The Record Straight on Pence and Coronavirus

Tony Katz — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 20:00:00 -0500

Klobuchar is out. Buttigieg is out. And they both endorsed former VP Joe Biden. So what will be the effect on Super Tuesday? Will the supporters of Pete and Amy go to Biden, or is there another candidate that best fits their wants?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. They also have an in-depth conversation with Jeff Stone from Davidoff about cigars, personal preferences and where the American palate is compared to the rest of the world. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

A video of Michael Bloomberg eating pizza will make you want to puke. Turns out $53 billion may buy you an election, but it can't buy you class.

The corona virus hysteria is just that. And the politicizing of corona virus is downright disgusting. In an interview making its way across the internet, celebrity Dr. Drew Pinsky does a brilliant job admonishing media for hyping up the fear. He also explains how in Indiana then- Governor Mike Pence handled the HIV outbreak, and why it wasn't "bungled" or "mismanaged" like media says.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 72 - Bernie Makes Broadcast News Bonkers, Is Russell Stover Ruining Easter and How To Raise Children With Purpose

Tony Katz — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 10:30:00 -0500

Sen. Bernie Sanders destroyed the field in Nevada, winning the Democratic caucus handily. In response, media has gone crazy. Did they not know he was a socialist, or did they just realize what being a socialist means for the nation?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, they review Aberfeldy single malt scotch and the Davidoff 50th Year Diademas Finas. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Russell Stover, the company that makes the Easter candy you love, has now come out with white fudge bunnies that also taste like blue rasperry. Why would they do such a thing?

Fingers Malloy has choice words for Costco, while April D. Gregory has a creepy story about Southwest Airlines.

When raising children, what matters most? And how do you raise them to have purpose, or a sense of self, in a maddening PC world?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 71 - Bloomberg Goes Clinton Crazy, Girls in a Connecticut High School are Standing up for Women and Stopping Men from Taking Viagra Is Not Feminism

Tony Katz — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is running for president. Actually, he's trying to buy the nomination, spending at least a billion dollars to get there. And he's raised the stakes as his campaign confesses that they'd like Hillary Clinton to join him on the ticket.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, they review Diplomatico Ambassador rum and the Davidoff Nicaragua box press. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Another lawmaker, this time in Alabama, has decided to propse legislation that would limit the ability for men to obtain Viagra as a way to stand up for abortion rights. This comes up every year or so, and everytime it comes up it's a reminder that women who advocate for this position are not feminists.

But high school girls in Connecticut are suing the state to ensure that transgender students cannot compete against them in sporting events, because it's unfair. These girls are standing up for themselves, and one has to ask how soon will they be attacked for not being "woke" enough?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 70 - The Death of Kobe Bryant, Corona-virus fear-mongering and Joe Rogan's Endorsement Drives Everyone Insane

Tony Katz — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0500

NBA legend Kobe Byrant was killed in a helicopter crash, along with his 13 year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other people. It's a horrible story about a life taken too soon, and it's also a moment when craven people do their worst on social media.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation.com. Today, they review Bulleit bourbon and the La Flor Dominicana TCFKA M cigar.

Joe Rogan used his highly popular podcast to say he would vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders because of how consistent he's been over the years. The problem, according to Tony, is that Bernie's been consistenly wrong.

Should you have fear of Coronavirus, or is the media just fear mongering for clicks? And does anyone believe that the Chinese government is telling the truth about how many people are infected?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 69 - Why Does CNN Hate Gun Rights and School Lunches Take A Right Turn

Tony Katz — Mon, 20 Jan 2020 18:00:00 -0500

The VIrginia Gun Rally was peaceful. It was citizens from across Virginia, and from America, who came to Richmond to tell the state government that their anti-gun and anti-freedom laws and regulations are unacceptable. The rally was a perfect use of the 1st Amendment to save and preserve the 2nd Amendment. So why did CNN and other news outlets try to paint attendees as violent and white supremacists, when neither thing was true?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast. Today, it's a review of Rare Perfection Canadian Whiskey and the Fuente Fuente Opus X cigar. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

The Trump Administration has rolled back the school lunch rules that former First Lady Michelle Obama worked to put in place. And they did it on her birthday! But were the rules ever worthwhile? Did they help any kids?

A Prince Harry and Meghan update: They no longer have some of their titles. Also, they're now Canadians.

The Supreme Court has taken up a case on faithless electors, which could change how future presidents are elected. But will it?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 68 - Why Are Politicians Defending Iran and Why Is Anyone Defending Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?

Tony Katz — Sun, 12 Jan 2020 21:00:00 -0500

War with Iran is not what anyone wants, but siding with Iran is downright insane! So why, after the killing of terrorist Qassem Soleimani, are there so many Democrats in the US who want to blame President Trump for bringing us to war and shooting down a Ukranian airliner?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com and BackboneBourbon.com. Eat! Drink! Smoke! is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. On today's show they review Stagg Jr. bourbon and the Diamond Crown Maximus cigar.

Iran has admitted that they shot down the plane, and the people in Iran are protesting aggressively. But politics is overriding reason, and that leads to politicos, for political purposes, abandoning reason. It's all really ugly.

Speaking of ugly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left the Royal Family. Well, they didn't "leave." They still want the money, and they're keeping the titles so they can monetize them and build themselves into a global brand.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 67 - Ricky Gervais Hilarious Destruction At The Golden Globes, Iran Hysteria Is Hysterical and Would You Eat These Oreos

Tony Katz — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 19:00:00 -0500

All of America is talking about how Ricky Gervais exposed the hypocrisy of Hollywood when he hosted the Golden Globe awards. And, right on cue, the political right loves him and the political left hates him. But can you call what he did brave?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com and Backbone Bourbon. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Today they review the Parker's Heritage Rye and the Davidoff Series702 Special T cigar.

Politicos are up in arms over President Trump's decision to kill Iranian General and terrorist Qasem Soleimani. But that doesn't mean they are right. Fingers Malloy and April D. Gregory are thinking about joining a gym as 2020 begins, but who's willing to pay $70 a month? And Oreo put out a bunch of new flavors in 2019. We go through the list and see what we would try.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 66 - Guns To Carry To Church, Trump and Obama Are Loved By America and Three Year-Olds At The Casino

Tony Katz — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 20:00:00 -0500

A man with a machete attacked Jews at a synagogue in New York. A man in Texas shoots two people in a church before being shot by the security officer. Why aren't more people armed when they go to their place of worship? And what are the best guns to carry to church?

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke!, presented by Fanimation.com and Backbone Bourbon. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. On this episode, it's a review of Widow Jane bourbon and the Headley Grange Chamuco cigar.

Yes, Americans should be armed in their place of worship. And, no, anti-Semitism is not on the rise because of President Donald Trump. A new poll, however, shows that both Trump and former President Barack Obama are the most admired men by Americans. The list of admired women is topped by Michelle Obama.

Fingers Malloy went to another casino, and this time he was accosted by a three year old.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 65 - The Best Cigars and Bourbon of 2019! Impeachment Changes Nothing and Men Shop For Minivans

Tony Katz — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

The End of the Year wrap brings the our choices for the best bourbon and cigars of 2019!

Fingers Malloy, April D. Gregory and Tony Katz each picked from all of the cigars and bourbon reviewed this year. Well, Tony and Fingers did. April went completely off task but still made some great choices.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! Podcast, presented by Fanimation.com and Backbone Bourbon. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Impeachment has happened, and no one thinks it will do anything to change a voter's mind in 2020. Pete Buttigieg's slam on Indiana in the Democratic Debate did not sit well with anyone. And Fingers is buying a minivan, and he's pretty sure his life is over.

The Winners:

Fingers - The Nat Sherman Timeless and The Old Granddad 114

April - The God of Fire Serie B Double Robusto and champagne (She doesn't really care which champagne, just bring her more of it!)

Tony - The Davidoff Royal Salamones and the Pikesville Rye

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 64 - Intermittent Fasting Might Just Work, Disney Is Not A Happy Place, Don't Goose Reporters and Impeachment Won't Change 2020

Tony Katz — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 18:00:00 -0500

The female reporter slapped in the butt by a runner going by was rightfully angry, and the runner was definitely wrong. But should he be fired from his job and his life ruined from one stupid move? Would it change your mind if he was also a youth pastor?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com and Backbone Bourbon. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN

They review the Nikka Coffey Malt Whiskey and the La Coalicion cigar from Drew Estates and Crowned Heads.

The podcast starts with Fingers Malloy, fresh off his 72 hours in Florida, complaining - loudly - that the "Happiest Place On Earth" is anything but. Yes, impeachment will happen. No, President Trump will not be removed from office. And, no, none of it will affect the outcome of the 2020 election.

Tony has had success with intermittent fasting, but he's had more success with not accepting what convential wisdom tells us about weight loss and health.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 63 - Joe Biden's Malarkey Is Finger-Nibbling Creepy and Black Friday Is All Green and All Online

Tony Katz — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 06:00:00 -0500

Former VP Joe Biden leads all Democrats in the race for president. But he can't speak more than four sentences without falling apart, he tells insane stories about "Corn Pop," he sniffs and smells young children and gives inappropriate backrubs to women. Now, he's telling stories about his blonde leg hair and is "nibbling" his wife's finger on stage.

And he LEADS all Democrats running for President. What kind of "malarkey" is this?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation and Backbone Bourbon. Today, it's a review of Old Pogue Master Select bourbon and the Avo Domaine 50 cigar. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Way too many Americans think the job of you and me is to provide for them. Bernie Sanders likes his place in the gimp box. And the Vagina Museum has opened in London, shocking absolutely no one.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Thanksgiving Sides That You Probably Won't Make Because It's Not A Time To Be Healthy

Tony Katz — Thu, 28 Nov 2019 12:00:00 -0500

Thanksgiving is not a time to worry about your waist. Yet time and again, and year after year, people and news groups and no good do-gooders think that a holiday based around delicious and carb-filled foods is a time to make feel people guilty about enjoying them.

Nonsense!

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com and Backbone Bourbon. The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 62 - Elon Musk's Cybertruck gets the Last Laugh, Thanksgiving Shouldn't Be Political and Colin Kaepernick Doesn't Want To Play Football

Tony Katz — Sun, 24 Nov 2019 23:00:00 -0500

"You should not go to holiday dinners where they hate you, just because they are family." That's Tony's advice for Thanksgiving, and every holiday meal. And why does anyone feel the need to get political at family events?

And it turns out Tony is no fan of the Rob Roy. But he might be a fan of the Elon Musk "CyberTruck."

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation. They review the Rob Roy, and the Davidoff Nicaragua figurado cigar.

So-called "protesters" stormed the field of a Harvard-Yale football game during halftime because of climate change. It's always nice to see woke trust fund babies try and prove their worth while not changing any minds at all.

Colin Kaepernick is not interested in playing in the NFL, and his "try out" was nothing more than theater. Elon Musk unveils the "CyberTruck" to scorn and laughter. Now he claims he has 146,000 buyers and counting.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 61 - Vegas Tips and Tricks, Young Blood For Sale and Ambassador Yovanovich has Impeachment Feelings

Tony Katz — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 09:00:00 -0500

Old people are using the blood of young people to feel younger....and it's not an episode of Black Mirror. It also costs $8,000. Maybe it will help Fingers Malloy better handle his 3 day gambling benders in Vegas!

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation.

A company in California is claiming to cure what ails you with the plasma of young folks. The FDA says it does nothing, but that hasn't stopped the company from offering up the sweet juice.

Week one of the impeachment inquiry is in the books, and America is not moved in any way. But why are members of Congress so worried about the feelings of former Ambassador Marie Yavonovich? She didn't hear the phone call...she says President Trump was never involved in bribery. But if you ask Rep. Adam Schiff, what matters most is how Trump made her feel.

Yes, Fingers Malloy loves Las Vegas in an almost improper way. Now, he brings his Vegas tips and tricks to all of us so everyone can have the Fingers Malloy experience!

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 60 - ABC's Witch Hunt Is A Big Deal and The Epstein Meme Has One Big Problem

Tony Katz — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:00:00 -0500

ABC News quashed a story about child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, and when video from an anchor got leaked complaining about it, they hunted down the producer who leaked the video and fired her. One problem: she didn't leak the video. Another problem: No news organizations are talking about Jeffrey Epstein.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation. Today, it's a review of the Grand Cru paring: The Glenfiddich Grand Cru scotch and the Davidoff Grand Cru Robusto. (Yes, we reviewed the Davidoff Grand Cru toro just an episode or two ago. But, Blend Bar Cigar - where we record - asked us to try the pairing. We were happy to oblige!)

Impeachment is here...and it's pretty clear that the hearings aren't going to bring America any closure. But that's not the plan. The plan on trying to oust President Trump has been in effect for three years. Not because we say so, but because they say so.

The CDC has found what they say is the culprit that has led to illness and death in some vaping cases, but the people desperate to ban vaping aren't paying attention to the science.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 59 - Tomi Lahren Got A $50,000 Ring, Trevor Noah and Hillary Think Jeffrey Epstein Is Funny and Let's Sing Baby It's Cold Outside To John Legend

Tony Katz — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 21:00:00 -0500

Why people hate FOX News commentator Tomi Lahren is a mystery. But when it was learned she has a $50,000 engagement ring, the hate resurfaced yet again. But the story isn't the ring; the story is why are they paying $50K, and why do people who can't afford things buy things they can't afford?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation and Backbone Bourbon. Today, it's a review of the Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or (yes...SCOTCH!) and the Davidoff Grand Cru Toro cigar.

Trevor Noah, host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central, does an interview with Hillary Clinton where they joke about child sex trafficker and predator Jeffrey Epstein. Hilarious, right?

John Legend re-writes the lyrics to 'Baby It's Cold Outside' and records it with Kelly Clarkson. The problem with this level of woke is that it's clear that Legend didn't care about the history of the song - and that it is NOT a rape song. Rather, he saw an opportunity to market to his fans by lying about a song that won an Oscar in 1949.

Tony Katz — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 01:00:00 -0400

A website has come up with 10 health benefits of whiskey. For the record, neither Tony nor Fingers are doctors, and they can not be held responsible if you don't take care of yourself.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation.

As the story goes, Barbara Bush drank whiskey every day of her long life. Finger's father is 81, and enjoyes his whiskey. Perhaps there is something to this?

Again...check with your doctor, first!

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 58 - The Washington Post Fails On Reporting The Death of ISIS Murderer Al-Baghdadi, We Have Too Much Bacon, The Woodford Reserve Oat Grain Bourbon and the La Aurora 107 Cosecha Cigar

Tony Katz — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 16:00:00 -0400

US Special Forces killed ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. This, by every measure, is a good thing. ISIS is evil, they are murderers and they must be fought until their horiffic and violent ideology is gone from the Earth. So why did the Washington Post describe him as an "Austere Religious Scholar?"

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation. Today's podcast reviews Woodford Reserve Oat Grain Bourbon and the La Aurora 107 Cosecha cigar.

America has way too much bacon. Seriously, we have more bacon in reserve than ever before. When did America turn their backs on such delicious candy? Two seniors on a train refuse to get up from their seats, even though they were purchased and reserved by a pregnant woman with three other kids.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Snack Size! - Tainted Nerds and Marvel Hates Jennifer Aniston

Tony Katz — Thu, 17 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0400

Jennifer Aniston echos Martin Scorsese about Marvel movies; they are ruining cinema. Now, that may be ok for Scorses to say. But can the star of Marlee and Me really get away with that kind of diss?

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation.

Nerd rope candy has been found laced with THC, and just in time for Halloween. Will anyone be able to trust their candy every again? Or is this just another in a long line of myths that never come true....like razor blades in apples.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 56 - Dumb Violent Videos, Dumb Joker Hate and Dumb, Violent Beto O'Rourke

Tony Katz — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0400

Major news outlets seemed desperate in declaring that watching The Joker will lead to violence. The movie has taken in over $500 million world wide....has there been more violence because of it?

Meanwhile, a video played at a pro-Trump conference has media screaming that the right is pushing violence against the media while they avoid talking about the women and seniors punched at a Trump rally in Minneapolis.

Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation. Today, Tony and Fingers Malloy review the W.L. Weller Antique 107 Wheated Bourbon and the Arturo Fuente Anejo "The Shark" cigar

A guy wears a shirt on a plane that reads "Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some Assembly Required." Sure, it's free speech. But that doesn't mean it isn't also a really bad idea. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez goes to Denmark to tell climate change advocates that she won't be having children, and the devastation of Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria was the fault of global warming...and the American colonialists.

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 55 - The NBA Fails The China Test And So Does James Harden, and How Media Made The Joker A Story About Trump

Tony Katz — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 17:00:00 -0400

Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted his support of Hong Kong. Then, he deleted it. Too late. A firestorm erupted which led to Morey apologizing to China, the Rockets apologizing to China, the NBA apologizing to China and NBA superstar James Harden praising the communist nation.

Wow. Did they fail that test. But it doesn't mean that Morey shouldn't be fired.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. The podcast is presented by Backbone Bourbon and Fanimation. They review Angel's Envy Rye and the Davidoff Anniversario No 2. cigar.

Is the money from China so amazing that the NBA is willing to overlook the abuses of the citizens, and especially the Hongkongers?

Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has lied again about her past, claiming she was fired for being pregnant when she wasn't. Does she ever tell the truth, or is being a victim at all costs just the way things are?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 53 - Vaping Should Not Be Illegal and Expect To Get Knocked Down If You Act Up On A Plane

Tony Katz — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 16:00:00 -0400

After seven deaths, the states of New York and Michigan moved to ban flavored e-cigarettes. Yes, kids should not vape. But vaping is not targeting kids....even if there are flavors like bubble gum and Fruity Pebbles.

Tony Katz hosts Eat! Drink! Smoke! presented by [Backbone Bourbon](backbonebourbon.com) and [Fanimation](fanimation.com). The podcast is recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN.

These states passed their laws quickly. Almost, too quickly. Were they just waiting for an opportunity to show how "woke" they were? And what about the reality that many who got ill were buying their flavors from black markets?

A review of the Henry McKenna 10-year "Bottled In Bond" bourbon and the Davidoff Complexion toro cigar.

A man acts up on a plane; hitting seats, smoking and yelling, "You're all screwed!" from the bathroom. How is it possible that those flying with him didn't demand he quiet down...or physically restrain him? A mom in the UK was sneaking her obese child fast food even while he was in the hospital fighting for his life.
