Micallef Torcedores. 6 X 52 Sq press
3 year old San Andrés Sumatra wrapper, 3 year old Honduran binder, mixture of Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian filler. Retails for $6 in Texas. We both love this cigar. The flavor is woody and leathery with a hint of spice. Mild to medium strength. Triple capped.

Woodford Reserve Malt Whiskey  
This is a 51% malted barley, 47% corn, 2% rye mashbill. It comes off a bit stronger than a typical 90 proof whiskey. The burn is a little less when warm. The bready flavor is very nice and the pros find dark chocolate and caramel coated nuts dried out with a dusting of cocoa powder and brown spice. A fruit medley brightens a trace of toasted coconut and rich, bright oak character. That wasn’t our take. Darrell and Bill tasted the oak, vanilla, and bread.

We talk about taxes and how they’re really getting expensive for cigars. That it will probably drive bootlegging just like cigarettes did. Possible futures of tobacco and pot growing in America. We announce our new weekly giveaway with Drunk Chicken Cigars. Darrell recounts a story of Al Micallef at the 2nd Annual Cigar and Spirits Magazine event. We again talk about how the zebra muscle problem could just be solved with 1 good recipe and the mechanically separated chicken ingredient.
