Food and Drink Any Bourbon drinkers out there? - Page 148

My health insurance got me to quit stogies at $1200 yr. addl. for insurance and Massive co pays compared to non smokers.
A Montecristo / Churchill Cuban sounds like a great way to enjoy a massive thunderstorm. A growler of Scottish Ale, ltr. of Woodford Reserve, and a killer stogie.... sounds good to me.
Toss in one of the Coronavirus imagionary blowjobs Billays been bragging about...Perfect.

Should we have a cigar thread? Or just discuss it in various threads?

What are CP’s favorite cigars?

For Cubans, I really like Montecristo #2, their torpedo. Cohiba is nice but everybody tries to smoke them, so the price goes through the roof. I had a Cohiba Behike 52 I’m Europe a few years ago. Really smooth cigar. It was about 40€ at the time. Expensive, but I figured I was on vacation, so why not. Now, my Cuban supplier is selling them at about $112 a cigar. I’m not paying that much for a cigar.

Ghurkas are good cigars. They are tapered, which I find helps with the flavor.

Anything by CAO is smokable in my opinion. Their robustos are excellent for a short, quick smoke.

Hoyo de Nicaragua makes good cigars for the money.

I’ve got a box of Monetecristo #2s headed here, and I have one left. I think I will smoke it tonight.

The eagle has landed. Vial C got a little wet in transit, so good call on the bagging. Minimal loss. Think I know what I'm doing tonight.

Oh **** yes!

Was C leaking from the cap? Weird.

Yeah I believe so. It was just wet enough where it saturated the sticker and the bag, but not so much that it lost much.

lew hit me with a scotch, sneaky fucker. I was so confused for a minute. Here's the notes on that one:

'medicinal, maybe licorice, smoke, drinks like a scotch to me, struggling to find positives'

I don't like scotch and I probably never will.

Oh and the Wellers wins in a goddamn landslide first drink through. It wasn't even close to be honest.

I will mix things up second go round and report back.

Smoke? In Balvenie Doublewood? There isn't even one little tiny bit of peated malt in that scotch.

Whatever it was, it got 5th place in my bourbon tasting. Make that 647th place.

Here's the lineup in order. I threw the scotch in there because it's the only scotch I really like and was wondering what you'd think. lol

That Michter's Toasted Rye is from Fall 2017. Probably my favorite bottle I've ever had.

Since it isn't bourbon, that's probably appropriate.

Appreciate it my dude! I for sure found some new ones to seek out. I'm gonna approach this again soon and see if my opinions change.
