    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    Old Grand Dad 114. Pretty darn good higher octane bourbon for a steal price of $25. I have better and more expensive bottles, but this achieves a nice balance of quality and price.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    Aged Cheddar or Gouda when they get small flecks of crystallization. Or Blue Cheese on a salad or steak.

    The Love Of Pickles

    I am sure there is an actual recipe out there on the web, but I just free pour. Take a commercially available jar of dill spears, pour off approximately three ounces and replace with part maple syrup and part bourbon. Shake in red pepper flakes to desired heat level and then give it a few...

    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    My wife actually likes the smell of cigars and pipe tobacco, except for English blends, so as long as she is happy with the room note then I don‘t mind missing out on the scent as I smoke.

    My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

    I am sorry for your loss. I have had at least one dog for approximately 46 of my 56 years on earth. It is always difficult to see one go and I sure hope I see them in the afterlife.

    What's For Dinner?

    Smoked a pork shoulder over rum barrel wood chips, then braised in a rum and coke sauce until internal temp hit 203. Honestly the rum flavor was so subtle that I am not sure the added effort was worth while. It was pretty good, but more subtle than my typical cherry/hickory wood chips and a...

    What’s Your Storage Preference?

    I use a tupperdor with a humidor and some random cigar boxes with boveda inside it. Keeps the humidity rock steady. I also keep it on my basement where the temp ranges around mid-60 degrees.

    Alligator

    I have only had it deep fried, but it was pretty good. Almost like a fuller flavored (dark meat) chicken. Toss in a few iced cold pilsners and it makes for a nice meal.

    Irish Whisky

    Redbreast is really good. Knappogue Castle 12 year and Powers Three Swallow are right behind it. Jameson Black Barrel is definitely a step or two above the standard.

    How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?

    If it’s not coffee, then I prefer water or iced tea If I am trying to really enjoy the smoke. Guess I am smoking too fast as I prefer cold drinks to calm and reset my taste buds ever so often. If the whiskey is out, the I am less concerned with the nuances of the leaf and more about the...

    Smoking Tobacco Based on the Season - Yes or No?

    I am open to anything at anytime as the mood hits, but I do have a tendency to smoke Latakia more in the colder months just I have the tendency to drink peatier scotch in the same weather. VA and burley are similar to bourbon - any and all times are open season. Cheers

    Which Tobacco after Which Meal?

    Aromatics as a calorie free dessert alternative.

    How Many Open Blends?

    Open and in rotation: 9 Aeros, 6 VA/vapers, 3 English, and Carter Hall as the prerequisite coffee accompaniment.

    Which Beverage with which Tobacco?

    Water always refreshes the pallet and allows the tobacco to come through. Coffee with burley is a no brainer. I love a nice whiskey with cigars, but find that the higher proof overwhelms the nuance of pipe tobacco.

    Escudo Alternative

    PS Bullseye, Navy, and twist with some age on them, while not a direct alternate for Escudo, does offer an interesting smoke. I have about a pound of them from 2016 that tastes great, too bad I still get tongue bite from VA.

    What Are You Drinking ? February 2024

    It was 70 degrees yesterday, so I poured a couple of gin and tonics while I grilled bone in pork chops. It is going to be cold today so likely a few porters at trivia night at a local craft brewery.

    What Are You Drinking ? February 2024

    Last night was cheap Sam’s Club vodka stored in the freezer with some jalapeño olives and dry vermouth marinated cocktail onions. Sinatra on the stereo and meatball pasta on the plate. I did not even bother shaking the drink, straight into a double old fashion glass.
