    Bangor, Maine

    I was in Freeport last year and the woman at the smoke shop said the state is almost 100% smoke-free, even smoke shops. There was one cigar bar in Portland that was grandfathered in and that's all I'm aware of. That's a long haul from Bangor!

    Curb your enthusiasm

    Larry David is the co-creator of Seinfeld. The George Costanza character is loosely based on him. If you are just starting to watch it, don't stop! It gets funnier and funnier. Some episodes are gut-busting funny. One of my favorite episodes is "Krazee-Eyez Killa" where Larry becomes...

    I have to rely on buying aged stock because I have no will power to age them myself.

    Pulled the trigger

    That's great Josh! You sounded a little hesitant on Monday, I'm glad you came to your senses! LOL! The toughest part is the waiting! Bob is definitely the type of guy anyone would want to do business with. Enjoy!

    Cigar Dinner in Hartford

    What a great evening! I arrived at greatful1's house shortly before 5:00 and saw that I was already behind on my smoking. The host immediately gave me a PSP2 to smoke. Very generous, and what an amazing smoke. Finally got to put faces to the names of CoventryCat86, smokelaw1, rob300c and the...

    Perfect setting for smoking

    One night I had last August really sticks out in my mind. - Out on the patio with a Led Zeppelin CD in the boom box. - 80 degrees but not humid. - Great cigar accompanied by a great Scotch. - Bats diving down to play with the 2nd hand smoke. - Katydids seeming to sing with the drum beat.

    Cigar Dinner in Hartford

    Looking forward to this! Jim runs a great dinner. I attended the 2005 Mardi Gras Cigar Dinner in Rocky Hill. A great time, a big raffle, and great food. Black Eyed Sally's has AMAZING food too. Any event where you can get together under a roof and smoke is very rare in Connecticut. I couldn't...

    Glenfiddich Solera Reserve

    It was a while ago, but I'm going to say it took about a month after I registered on-line.

    what Sort of booze you like..

    I'm an Islay guy through and through. The smoke, salt, iodine and peat reek are what I look for in a Scotch. Of the 15 or so bottles I have in my cabinet, 10 are from Islay with a few being Islay malts finished elsewhere by independent bottlers. I also have a Talisker in there too which with its...

    Spellbound is an amazing smoke when you have two hours to kill.

    Glenfiddich Solera Reserve

    No it's not cheep looking, but it won't illicit "OOHS and AHHS" when you whip it out. It's brushed aluminum. Here's a pic I found on ebay. I'm pretty sure this is it.

    Glenfiddich Solera Reserve

    I got the flask. It's REALLY small, probably 2-3 ounces max. It has the Glenfiddich logo stamped into it, and you can't beat the price!

    Glenfiddich Solera Reserve

    This is a great summer Scotch and a nice diversion from the heavy peaty Islays that dominate my liqour cabinet. Aroma: Sweet - caramel and chocolate. With a slight smoky undertone. Flavor: Again sweet but not sickly sweet. Vanilla (oak), chocolate and a little honey. Floral notes. Finish...

    Isle of Jura 16 yo Scotch

    I friend brought this over one night and I decided to taste it before lighting up in order to be sure the tastebuds were fresh. We were both unimpressed. I kept getting an aftertaste that was very much like Tequila. We tried it again some weeks later and had the same result.

    Scapa 14

    I looked to see if you had done a review on the 14. Heard a lot of good things about the 12 too. I usually try not to smoke when I taste a Scotch for the first time and I was smoking when I tried the Scapa 14. I won't abandon it yet, but my first impressions were disappointing. then I'll send...

    Scapa 14

    Looking to try something new, I picked up a bottle of this last week and was completely underwhelmed by it. I was hoping for a some of the intense heather-honey characteristics of Scapa's northern neighbor, Highland Park, and possibly some of the maritime characteristics of Island Scotches I...

    Clipper City brewing - Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale

    On Friday I picked up a 6 of this from Clipper City Brewing. An ale with Magnum, Centennial, Chinook, Amarillo and Palisade hops. It boasts 3 lbs of hops per barrel! The hops are extremely well balanced and it doesn't blow your head off. It also has a slightly fruity (plum?) aftertaste...
