They didn't have the red, but they did have the 46% abv 15YO blue labelled one, which I bought. Just popped the cork on it and it is very nice! :thumbs: Tastes like all bourbon-cask (with a very light straw color to match). Lightly smoky, malty, very woody and dry, undertone of bourbon to...

Thanks AVB! If it is, in fact, the red-labelled one they have, I'll definitely snatch one up! :thumbs:

God damn you! I'll be stopping through my hometown (across the river from Louisville) in a few weeks.... ....And NOOOOWWW I have to stop in Louisville and buy the latest bottle of deliciousness from Four Roses! :sign: :laugh:

In the next month or so, I'll probably be stopping through Bloomington, IN where the Big Red Liquors store has an outstanding selection of Scotch, including lots of merchant bottlings from Signatory (picked up a Signatory-bottled, non-chill filtered Highland Park 14YO there last time that was...

This is a neat subject. I've never heard of anyone doing at-home port blending. Definitely post more about this subject. Maybe even some pics. :thumbs:

Fake as a $3 bill, but it appears he was procuring them in Cuba, so it's still trading with the enemy. And if I'm not mistaken, even if he was getting them in the Bahamas or somewhere Americans can legally travel, and even if they were fakes made in the Bahamas or somewhere, it's still...

Holy crap! I just saw this article today, but you guys already beat me to it!

Sound off. What, in your opinion, is the best bottle of the Glenlivet range that can be easily found in stores (read: not the rare vintage bottled stuff), in terms of the taste-to-price ratio? The regular 12 YO? The 15 YO French Oak Reserve? Nadurra? Thanks in advance, guys. :thumbs:

:laugh: I live up Logan Square and I know EXACTLY the shop you're talking about. ;) There is ONE cool guy who works there (thin guy with receding hair, usually has a suit on), but yes, even though I've come in there twice and each time dropped over $100 on smokes and accessories, whenever...

No good deed goes unpunished! :laugh: Awesome gesture! :thumbs:

Yeah, that's super fucking shitty that a grown man, who obviously has enough money to put a kid through college, has to swipe stogies from a (I'm guessing) not-too-rich university student! :angry: If he likes cigars, maybe he likes scotch too...next time he comes over, offer him a hearty glass...

Andrew, if you change your mind, I'd DEFINITELY be down for your evil blind taste test! :thumbs:

I've always like the RyJ Romeo series of tubos. One of my first CC's was a Romeo No. 2. :thumbs: I can still remember how creamy, floral, toasty, and cedary it was!

I like the Petit Tatuajes, Davidoff Demitasse, and Davidoff Mini Cigarillos... ...but over on the dark side, I think the Qunitero Clubs and Minis are astoundingly good for the price. Also like the Montecristo and RyJ Puritos for a cheaper quickie.

I bought a bottle of it for my buddy as a Xmas gift, and we had a few drams with some cigars. I presonally loved it...very smooth and I like the sweetness it gave the finish. If you really like it, snatch it up now...Glenmorangie got bought out by the same company that owns Louis Vuitton and a...

An interesting factoid... The Grand Cru line is the successor of the old Cuban Chateaux line of Davidoff cigars, with very slight alterations in ring gauge. With that in mind, the Grand Cru No. 2 would be the DR equivalent of the old Chateau Latour. Why the name change? I know Chateau...

Call me stubborn, but I rarely give up on a brand after one or two bad experiences. Though the Davidoffs I've tried in the past have never been REALLY bad, they've never been much good either. First one I ever had was a Millenium Brand Robusto with no flavor whatsoever (but looking back and...

Man, Vega Talanga has fallen pretty far into the crapper :( When the original line came out, they were awesome! They came in one size, pigtail cap, uncelloed, in palm fabric bundles. My buddy Chris loved them so much he won't smoke anything else but them. Then whatever moron was in charge...

Sounds to me like the Avo LE '05's were underfilled, judging by the loose draws and bad tastes. The Avo might have had the highest score yet, if not for those issues. And :thumbs: to Brickhouse for calling 'em left and right!

Hi Phil! I always love to see manufacturers getting involved in the online cigar community! Good to hear Fuente didn't give you any shite...it'd be pretty hypocritical of them if they did, considering the Fuentes got taken to court back in the 90's by Mondavi and Rothschild because of the...
