I second that. I don't post much, but I'm a class-A lurker/noob. I'm on here several times a day, and I always find myself pouring (no pun intended) over posts in the saloon. Ray's words of wisdom, reviews and passion for well crafted libations have opened up a whole new (delicious!) world...

It was 60+ degrees last night, so I thought I would get out enjoy a nice post-work drink/smoke. I enjoyed a couple of fingers of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (Port finish) with a Rocky Patel 1961 by the outdoor fireplace. As a Bourbon drinker, I appreciated the Glenmorangie's sweetness and it...

I just recently had a couple of fingers of this on ABV's recommendation. I was definitely not disappointed. It's a great little dram, and one that will be making it into my liquor cabinet sometime soon. Thanks, as always, for a great review.

I was in the OBX for New Year's and there was a freak snowstorm. We were all on the floor of the screened-in porch (partial wall blocked the wind) covered up with space blankets (which, strangely, we had several of). Ridiculous. Good conversation and Macallan 12 warmed us up a little. What...

very, very cool. you sure know how to make a guy jealous.

i second the ronson. a buddy of mine turned me onto these little wonders (incidentally, he also introduced me to CP). for my money, you can't beat the value. it does a solid job of delivering fast, hot heat like all butane lighters, but at a fraction of the price. the bonus is that i'm not...

i smoked a nestor miranda coffee break the other day. great little smoke--definitely within your time constraints. it was a solid, medium bodied stick. it was nicely balanced. i would highly recommend it. if you pick one up, let me know what you think.

it's been out of control here in dc--the govt has been shut down for a week. i'm ready for some warm weather, a stiff drink and good smoke. come on spring!
