I'm Johnny Sports. Everybody knows that. 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: I did just realize since we take two weeks to 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: do the bourbon and then the cigars, we could have 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: done it at the end of twenty twenty five. 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: It would still be the same. You just realized that. 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: I literally just realized that. As we were talking. I 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: looked at it as we had two more weeks to 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: squeeze in new cigars and they could be hopeful for 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: Cigar of the Year like the way, like the way 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,119 Speaker 1: you're thinking. 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: We did our bourbons just last week, and for me 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: it was a rum and for Fingers was it was 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: it a rye for you? It was a r See. 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: We didn't even pick bourbons as our top bourbons of 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 2: the year. So each drink smoke is more than just bourbon. 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: It's really about. 28 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: Spirits, anything that one can send down the gullet. 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: Yes, and but for cigars of the year, it may 30 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: be a cigar, it may be chewing tobaccy Nope. 31 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: No, when it's a cigar, it's a cigar. The only 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: rule is it's something that we reviewed on the show. 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: Everything else there are no rules. Do we pay attention 34 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: to price, well maybe Fingers does. I certainly didn't. We're 35 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: paying attention to size, absolutely, not paying attention to any 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: specific wrapper or binder, a filler, Nope, any particular manufacturer. 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: Now, if we have cigars that we review that people 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: have what's the word I'm looking for, kind of paid 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: us to review or said, hey, he provided us the cigar, 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: checked this out, we would tell you we don't do 42 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: paid reviews, so we never have to worry about the 43 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: first one. If people send us cigars, we absolutely will 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: tell you. Does that influence our decision making? Well, no 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: it doesn't. Our job is to say here's what we think. 46 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: It's the same reason we don't do the point system 47 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: or anything else. 48 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: We're just not weird people like that. 49 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: We're interested in saying what we like, what we don't like, 50 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: and is it in our humid. 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: Or at that price? 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: Now, since we're going to be each doing our cigars, 53 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: I went early to the bourbon. 54 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: Where is it? 55 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: Right here?

I think double 58 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: oaked is the best expression that Woodford has done. All right, 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: Double double oaked is just something surreal when you can 60 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: find it. 61 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,559 Speaker 3: But this coming in fingers maloy. 62 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: At sixty dollars a bottle right here, forty five percent 63 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 2: alcohol by volume, so ninety point four percent proof.

He is saying that 299 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: America is falling out. 300 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Of love with pizza. I don't believe I said that. 301 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Fingers Maloy himself has said this lie of a thing. 302 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: It's a story over the Daily Mail that Americans are 303 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: turning their back on pizza and they're saying that there's 304 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: a flurry of mid sized chain chains, Blaze Pizza, Piology, 305 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 2: Bertucci's Mod Pizza, that a filed bankruptcy over the past 306 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 2: two years. That is not proof of people not wanting pizza. 307 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: That is absolutely not it. It could be people going 308 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: to their local pizza place. It could be people making 309 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: pizza at home. It could be people eating from you 310 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: made less pizza from more well known places because they 311 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: feel that the marketing works. So you could argue that 312 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: everyone's getting a little bit less. But this was about 313 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: falling out of love with pizza. I don't believe that. 314 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Well, you didn't go further into the article, Tony. According 315 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: to the Daily Mail, and I know a California kid 316 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: like you, this should decimate your feelings about pizza, knowing 317 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: that California Pizza Kitchen is also struggling.

I thought it was just a perfectly put 539 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: together cigar for the price. I have not tasted anything 540 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: like it, the l Ray ri e y l Ray 541 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: del Mundo appointment I had as the Gordo, I've had 542 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: the Toro since. 543 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: I don't care which one you smoke. 544 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: It was just that much of a pleasure with a 545 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: bit of pepper, a bit of cocoa. There was a 546 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 2: sweetness that was kind of weaving itself through out. Just 547 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 2: beautiful for under ten bucks in today's economy. 548 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, you sounded like a fan. I of course, 549 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: was halfway across town as you were smoking it. Yeah, 550 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: you were sick. I was sick.

And how 562 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 2: is it possible that Michael herklots didn't make this a 563 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 2: part of the line. Michael Herclottz is the mind behind 564 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: farry Otago, and I've interviewed Michael Herclotz. We did an 565 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: extensive interview this year while we were able to meet up. 566 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: These are made by Placentia. 567 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: That's where these are rolled. 568 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: I should say this is the Farry Otago Timeless TAA 569 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: Exclusive for twenty twenty four. 570 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 3: So this is. 571 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: Only sold in shops that are part of the Tobacconist 572 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: Association of America and cigar manufacturers do a cigar sometimes 573 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: for TAA shops, only for THAA shops. What I was 574 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 2: told was that this was the precursor to what is 575 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: now the standard in the Fhariotago line, the Generoso And 576 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: I told Michael Herclotz, then a farryo Otago and I 577 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 2: say it now, this what I am smoking, the Timeless 578 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: TAA Exclusive for twenty twenty four is a better stick 579 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 2: and a stick that I would buy anywhere, anytime. Nineteen 580 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 2: dollars a stick. The answer is no question. I have 581 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: bought boxes. I have given these cigars away, and the 582 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: response every time from people who know is like, what 583 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: am I smoking here? 584 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 3: It's that good. That's a Maduro rapper. 585 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: There is a wonderful, joyful richness in this and that's 586 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 2: the part that works fully enveloping the cheek, really taking 587 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: over the tongue. You could argue that it's tobacco forward 588 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: if you'd like, but it's it's creamy tobacco. 589 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: It isn't overspiced. It's just right there. 590 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: It's not like you're getting a hard edge cocoa note 591 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: or vanilla note or anything like that. Here's a little 592 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 2: bit for me, I would argue, is little piece of 593 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: wood that's in there, and so that spice to me 594 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: is a little more cedar than let's say, pepper. 595 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: For me, it is sensational. 596 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: If this was I, I wonder if I could do 597 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 2: this every day, But I'm bothered that I can't do 598 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 2: it every week. So there's I think the difference in 599 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 2: this cigar. It is a little bit larger in my view. 600 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: They they I think they would consider this a full 601 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: bodied cigar, But how this wasn't the regular production, I'll 602 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: never understand. I prefer this over the General So every 603 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: day of the week, Generals is a nice cigar. Most 604 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 2: people know the Suma and that's the one I think 605 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: that's really for them, has been the most popular. This 606 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: this should be in the line. It is delicious, it 607 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: is nutritious, It is good for you. It builds character, 608 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 2: it keeps away vampires.
