Smoke! podcast, now heard on radio stations across the country! You can try the 1910 if you choose, but you should definitely choose to smoke the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser toro.

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!

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!

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.

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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump is threatening to move the Republican convention out of North Carolina, saying the Democrat governor is keeping things shut down on purpose. Meanwhile, the people went to the beach over Memorial Day weekend. They went to community pools in the Ozarks. Coronavirus? What coronavirus? The real question is, were they right or wrong to go? Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Today, it's a review of Russell's Reserve 10 year bourbon and the Padron 7000 series cigar. Eat! Drink!

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Protests over stay-at-home orders are popping up all over America. Why has the issue of re-opening society become so political? What are the true motives of the protestors? Tony Katz hosts the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast, presented by Fanimation.com. Tony is enjoying a Lito Gomez No7 Small Batch cigar. Fingers Malloy is trying to smoke an Acid Kuba Kuba cigar from Drew Estate. Their drink - a 41 year old bottle of Seagram's V.O. Yes, Seagram's. Protests over the stay-at-home orders have occurred in states like Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina and Utah. Is this an astroturf movement as some have claimed, or is it an organic reaction to perceived government overreach? How will America change in a post-lockdown world? How will major professional sports leagues like the NFL and MLB move forward? Will Vegas fully recover? These topics are discussed, as well as Nancy Pelosi's fancy kitchen on this episode of Eat! Drink! Smoke! Stay safe. Wash your hands. Smoke cigars.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's hard to get together during coronavirus, so this week Tony Katz took some great interviews he recently conducted and brought them to the Eat! Drink! Smoke! podcast Tony has started a new web series called Virtual Bourbon. (You should subscribe to his You Tube channel!) Two of his interviews deal with people who have had to deal with coronavirus in different ways. First, John Rich of the country duo Big and Rich. In addition to being a musician, John is an entrepreneur. He owns a whiskey label called Redneck Riviera, and he has a restaurant in Nashville of the same name. In all of his businesses, he's been forced to figure out how to keep emplopyees afloat. How does he do it, what toll does it take on him? We discuss Then, Rabbi Ben Sendrow talks about God, faith and coronavirus. When a pandemic like this hits, with thousands of lives lost, people often question God. So Tony asked him about what he gets asked, and how do you answer the old question, Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen To Good People? John drinks Redneck Riviera, obviously. Rabbi Sendrow drinks Aberfeldy scotch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sen. Bernie Sanders destroyed the field in Nevada, winning the Democratic caucus handily. In response, media has gone crazy.

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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

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.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All of America is talking about how Ricky Gervais exposed the hypocrisy of Hollywood when he hosted the Golden Globe awards.

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.

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.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The End of the Year wrap brings the our choices for the best bourbon and cigars of 2019! Fingers Malloy, April D.

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!)

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?

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?

"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!

So-called "protesters" stormed the field of a Harvard-Yale football game during halftime because of climate change.

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.

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.

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.

Rather, he saw an opportunity to market to his fans by lying about a song that won an Oscar in 1949. Eat! Drink!
