This week they both have two identical cigars from Asylum 13. The Medulla Oblongata Sq press vs parejo. They both weighed 12g and Christian stated they both have the same blend. They have the McFarlane’s Reserve Straight bourbon. In the 2nd half they make an Old Fashion out of the bourbon and wrap up the episode with some discussion about their recent joining of the IDPA.
