Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Alec Bradley Safe Keepings Toro, a 6x52 Nicaraguan puro, and try to figure out exactly what’s going on with a cigar that’s being described as Maduro but doesn’t quite look the part. Along the way, they break down the draw, the construction, the clean, easygoing flavor profile, and whether this stick does enough at around $13 per cigar to earn a place in the humidor.

Also in this Happy Hour episode: a spirited discussion about crunchy vs. creamy peanut butter, whether Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were ruined by corporate corner-cutting, and why some companies are determined to “improve” things nobody asked them to touch. The guys also get into whiskey exports, AI cheating in college, airline baggage-fee chaos, and the general decline in common sense.

It’s cigars, food, a little outrage, and the kind of conversation that makes Eat, Drink, Smoke Happy Hour what it is.
