Ever had that moment when you realize it's time to face what's been hiding in your humidor or liquor cabinet? Those items you've been avoiding for months (or years) that just keep getting pushed to the back? Tony and Fingers dive into their own neglected treasures in this candid exploration of flavored cigars and mysterious whiskey.

What happens when two traditional cigar enthusiasts reluctantly light up an infused stick? Can an American whiskey with no available information surprise even the most discerning palates? And what does all this have to do with Reese's peanut butter cups with jelly? (Yes, that's a real thing, and yes, they tried it for you.)

Key Takeaways:

The Asylum 867 Zero flavored cigar review: Tony and Fingers tackle an infused cigar from CLE that's been lingering in the humidor
Discussion of "gateway cigars" and how flavored options bring new people into the cigar world
The Reese's PB&J taste test (spoiler: grape is "medicine" and strawberry is merely "unnecessary")
Old 55 Wabash Cannonball American Whiskey review: A mysterious bottle with orchard notes and juicy fruit flavors
Four Roses potentially being sold and Uncle Nearest filing for Chapter 11 - what's happening in the bourbon industry?
News of CBS layoffs and the changing media landscape

Whether you're a cigar aficionado who avoids flavored sticks or someone curious about the bourbon industry's current challenges, this episode offers honest takes on products that might not be in Tony and Fingers' regular rotation but deserve their moment in the spotlight—even if that spotlight reveals why they were hiding in the back of the cabinet all along.

Ready to clean out your own collection? Listen now and get inspired to face those forgotten bottles and sticks you've been avoiding!
