has anybody noticed??

[dirtdart]

If you ever have the means.... so....so good.

[macleod01]

Mmmmmmmmmmm....... Lagavulin Amarosso cask! Gorgeous!

Changup, you are full of sacrilige! Never Ice!

As a proper Highlander I feel qualified to say how a nice malt SHOULD be enjoyed! Neat or maybe 3 drops of water. No more. The water opens up the Whisky and makes the flavour more pronounced. Ice has the opposite effect. Much like freezing a wine shuts off the flavours, so it does Whisky. Adding Ice cools the Whisky to such a degree that the flavours start to shut off.

Therefore, water if anything! But a good dram like Lagavulin DE or Talisker 18 or Ardbeg doesn't need anything!

Dirtdart, if you like Lagavulin have you ever heard of Ardbeg Supernova?

Exactly. But then in Texas (as most of the Southern United States, Oklahoma included) we ice our tea.

Regretfully, you'll need one of mine.  Clearly are being sold wannabes.  I know this due to our age difference, lol.  There is no possible way at your age that you could possibly know what Cohibas of the past taste like.  Me, being twice your age, do know how they've tasted since, well....before you were actually born.

You must be thinking of the intardnet, not cigars.

Age has nothing to do with cigar experiences. I have taken multiple trips to the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Nicaragua and Honduras with a cigar group, where we tour the plantations and meet the manufacturers, see the process and smoke old exclusives. I have smoked cigars that were first laid in a humidor in the 1960's, I have cigars in my humidor that were rolled before I was alive.

I have been to hundreds of events, and am currently a silent partner in a website called social cigar.

While I respect you are an old man who has seen more then I have in his years, ones age is never an indication of experiences.  

I am one of the only 25 year old people I know who is married with children, owns a home, has multiple businesses and is debt free. Most of my friends are still slinging burgers and those who are not, now work for me.

We need a AH meet up of cigar guys, that would be fun.

  Blu,

  I bet I could change your mind on the cohibas,I have an almost full box of robustas they come right from the island and were bought at the factory! Why is that impoertant because 75% or more of the cohibas just arent real!

  When I got mine they were so new they were still greasy,they've been aging since 02 and should be enjoyed pretty soon,I have the odd 1 to test them but I'm not a big cigar guy so they mostly go to waist.

  Living in Cannukville I can legally buy and type of Cuban cigar,in fact if you come visit you can get some yourself,all you must do is open the box and smoke 1 cigar then they are considered personal and legally purchased. However it is an offence to resell any once you get home but no one would do that would they!

  Try a real cohiba and I think you might change your mind Blu,I've tried some of the best Dominicans also and they are carp compared to any Cuban,but then I'm not a fan of bluberry,overrated IMHO,I prefer bubblegum or this new cross northern and BB,we call the great white hope!   change the h to a d...

 Oh and as for whisky,well try some Alberta premium,25 yo rye that doesnt break the bank!

Skuzzy found a 20-something blonde bimbo and is gettin' some!

Still sticking with this.  I have surveillance footage.

I will willingly try any cigar, but so far from what I have found cubans just don't cut it, but then again everything we are discussing is personal preference I suppose.

Bubblegum is great stuff, we sell out of it very fast at my shop. I don't find blueberry to be overrated, I think it is one of the best blending strains out there.

I'm not really a whisky drinker, I am a brandy guy.. and I don't mind breaking the bank on a good bottle, life is too short to drink cheap brandy
