Closing Out 2025
from Eat Drink Smoke · host Tony Katz
Eat Drink Smoke closes out 2025 with a bold pairing: the Knuckle Sandwich Off Menu, a TAA exclusive cigar from Espinosa Premium Cigars and celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Rye (Voyage 26, Double Barrel Dry). Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy smoke the 6x54 box-pressed Knuckle Sandwich Off Menu, featuring a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The cigar delivers a full-bodied profile with earthy, smoky notes described as bonfire and wet leaves, making it one of the most distinctive Knuckle Sandwich releases. The bourbon is Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Rye, Voyage 26, a 96-proof double-barrel rye known for its sweetness, creamy mouthfeel, and lighter rye spice—an ideal holiday pour. The episode also covers the end of the bourbon boom, industry production slowdowns, TSA security theater, airport guest passes, Vegas travel costs, Costco changes, food recalls, and one of the strangest news stories of the week.
