This week, Tony and Fingers reviewed The West Tampa Tobacco Company Red Toro and Rattle and Snap 8-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey. It's not just a win, it's a HUGE win for the cigar industry. Judge Amit Mehta, who just last year declared regulations from the Food and Drug Administration on the cigar industry "arbitrary and capricious," has now dismissed the Deeming Rule the FDA attempted to put in place. The Deeming Rule stated that cigars can be regulated by the FDA just like cigarettes are. Of course, anyone who smokes premium cigars can tell you how insane that is. Josh Habursky, Deputy Executive Director of the Premium Cigar Association – and Glynn Loope, State Advocacy Director of the Premium Cigar Association, join the show to explain what this ruling means for the industry, for your local cigar lounge, and for any small business dealing with onerous regulations. Other topics this week include: Details of the new contract between the Teamsters Union and UPS. After a month-long social media frenzy, the mystery woman who went viral after her meltdown on a plane has been identified. Now what? Tony and Fingers celebrate their 250th episode of Eat Drink Smoke, with a flashback to episode 1. All that and much more on episode 250 of Eat! Drink! Smoke!

Despite the fact that every ad played in Louisville during Derby time features a glass of whiskey and a cigar, there are no establishments in our city where you can enjoy both at the same time. Louisville's "Smoke Free Ordinance", aimed at keeping workers safe from second hand smoke, has been too broadly applied, essentially prohibiting safe cigar bars. As our city looks to bounce back post-COVID, one of the simplest ways we could spur economic growth and tourism is by removing this ban. On today's podcast, Glynn Loope of the Premium Cigar Association joins us talk about the benefits that could come to Louisville if reform happens.

In what led to the Presidency for Ronald Reagan, our own David Garofalo went to Washington DC this past week where he campaigned for justice, the justice of cigar smokers. Joined by the likes of Glynn Loope, Rocky Patel, Rafael Nodal and countless others they walked the halls of the Senate soliciting Senators and Representatives to leave premium cigars alone. We will also be joined by Jeremy Soares the New England sales rep for My Father cigars who will be on hand in Seabrook, NH to talk with us about what 2015 will have in store for this company owned by the Garcia family. As for what else, who knows and Mr. Jonathan took over the show preparations this week, and why the boss is away, who knows what will be in store without a voice of reason. Join us for all the shenanigans known as The Cigar Authority.

DogWatch CIgar Radio #226 June 12, 2009 - Mystery #206 The Cigar of the Week - Puros Indios Viejo Presidente – Here we feature a Churchill size cigar, 7.5” x 47 ring gauge, that highlights the flavors of the Ecuadorian grown Sumatra tobacco. While the filler is an interesting blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Brazilian tobaccos, the binder is Sumatra and the wrapper is a 10 year aged Sumatra. The packaging is in 15 count varnished cedar boxes. Rolando Reyes Sr. was born in Cuba in 1924, and at the age of 9 decided he wanted to be a tobacalera. At the age of 14 he went to work for the Jose L. Piedra factory, and by the age of 21 had his own factory, Los Aliados, in Havana. Immigrating to the US after the Revolution, then to The Dominican Republic and finally landing in Honduras, he established the Cuba Aliados factory in each location and made the Puros Indios brand world famous. Today Rolando Reyes Jr. continues the traditions with his father, and the Viejo is an extension of the line.
