Eat! Drink! Smoke!

This week on Eat Drink Smoke, Tony and Fingers review the Caldwell Crafted & Curated Savages Malpensante, a rich and surprisingly subtle cigar with notes of wood, leather, walnut and coffee. Is it worth $17 a stick? They have thoughts. They also pour the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel, a seven-year-old Tennessee whiskey bottled at 100 proof. It brings plenty of sweetness, oak, vanilla and a little disagreement over whether there is any banana hiding in the finish. Plus, Fingers introduces Tony to the Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake of his childhood, Costco faces a class action lawsuit over its promotional emails, and the guys test out a bristle-free alternative for cleaning the grill. They also discuss rising cigar prices, the future of AI-assisted writing, and some heartbreaking news from their friends at Defiance Beef. All that, along with brisket experiments, Costco shopping disasters, and a truly unreasonable amount of coconut cake, on this episode of Eat Drink Smoke. Find everything at
