This week on Eat, Drink, Smoke, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy ride into the Year of the Horse with a cigar that might actually earn a spot on “the list.”
They’re smoking the Plasencia El Año del Caballo (7x58) — a gorgeous, heavy, beautifully-presented stick complete with a braided “horse tail” accent. The guys break down the first-third flavors — cedar/wood, baking spice, creamy sweetness and cocoa — and get into the real question: is it worth $60 a stick, or is the sweet spot closer to $40 if you can find a deal?
On the pour side, it’s the Angel’s Envy Triple Oak (92 proof) finished in Hungarian, Chinkapin, and French oak barrels. Dark fruit, vanilla ribbon, big oak structure — and a surprising twist when Tony drops it on a cube and the spice kicks up.
Then the episode takes its usual sharp turn into “what is wrong with everyone”: an FDA recall of M&M’s because the candy may contain… peanuts (yes, really), the ongoing fight over personal responsibility, and the question of whether parents can sue social media companies because their kids got addicted to doom-scrolling.
Plus: Minute Maid frozen concentrate gets discontinued, Tony goes full elitist with “fresh squeezed,” Fingers defends SunnyD, and the guys finally test the viral “freeze your popcorn” hack (spoiler: someone at Allrecipes might be tipsy).
Also in News of the Week: job numbers, beer sales slipping, Costco’s $20/hour minimum, and the latest workplace trend with a name that makes Tony angry on principle: shift sulking.
