    What's wrong with this picture?

    That does NOT look like Neal... 😁 But I have to say - ever since that no pants thing started "way back" on Cigarpass - I've been haunted in my dreams (maybe nightmares?) of being somewhere in a large crowd without pants. I believe that to be my Cigarpass "curse".

    How to Safely Ship Liquid Refreshment

    "Aslin" beer? I thought you were only partial to Sprecher's R "beer"... :cool:

    How to Safely Ship Liquid Refreshment

    I have... Sadly... It is an "acquired" taste - and (sad to say) it's something that a Chicagoan MUST do as a right of passage. My son even set up a Malort photo booth at his wedding. That was most certainly an "interesting" place to hang around to see the reactions of those who were...

    How to Safely Ship Liquid Refreshment

    No - Really! I did send CC86 a bottle of Malort - at his insistence (just to show how really depraved he is). It somehow went off the radar in CT just before delivery. I'm hoping the bastid that picked it off enjoyed the "spoils" of his plundering! 🤢🤣

    How to Safely Ship Liquid Refreshment

    I'm bummed... My shipment of Malort I sent to CoventryCat86 (Bill) via UPS has disappeared. Damn, Man!!! And I thought I'd packaged it well...

    Pretty recent, I’d say. I’d not seen it until a few months ago. And it’s surprisingly good.

    106 proof - so as you can imagine, pretty spicy. But I’m loving the 51% rye, 49% barley mash. Nice subtle grassiness with a slightly sweet nuttiness. Loving 3 Floyd’s whiskeys!

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    I'm a huge Dalmore fan - love the King Alexander, one of my favorite scotches hands down! I loved the old version of the Dalmore Cigar Malt. They stopped producing it for a time and have now came out with a new, slightly different recipe. It's good - but damn the other version was much better...

    What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

    On a Celebrity cruise last year we were turned onto this drink - the CopperHead. It took some experimentation and discussions with other Celebrity passengers, but we think we've nailed down the recipe! 1 oz Drambuie, 1 oz Amontillado Sherry (hate to say it - but the Amontillado is a must as...

    One of my favorite Rye whiskeys! Always a good go-to! @CBoukal was spot on with that recommendation! And if you have to pay $170 for Blanton's - take a hard pass. Retail is more than half of that - and there are far better bourbon's at even Blanton's retail price....

    Liquor Acquisitions 2023, 2024, 2025

    Picked up a bottle of the Kirkland's Signature "Ready to Drink" Old Fashioned - 1L bottle for $17 at Costco over the weekend. Enjoyed it last night with the family during our Father's Day celebration. Out of the bottle - not bad! Thinking it's something great to have at parties during the...

    I saw the Thunderbirds documentary pop up. Definitely on my "to watch" list... I was also wondering about Lilo & Stitch. I've been forever forced to watch the series as the kids all love Lilo & Stitch. Almost assured I will be watching it as the granddaughter has all of these kinds of movies...

    ...so what did you think of this seasons final episode. Kind of a bit of a twist and turn at the end! Not sure I like the outcome, but it makes sense! They've not yet announced it, but it's likely there will be a season 2. I hope they announce the new season soon!

    Happy Thread

    We just wrapped up our latest cruise on the Sun Princess to the Mediterranean - what an amazing trip. Really bummed when it ended... But we have an amazing travel adviser (she booked us on the cruise for an amazing price). After we returned she contacted us with her latest "deal" - so we are...

    Happy Thread

    My son made it his mission to also become an ordained minister. Sort of a tongue in cheek thing to do, but I do admire his willingness to help! I think he does now have three weddings under his belt - most were Star Wars themed! But my son did tell me at one point I get my sense of humor...

    Happy 25th Birthday, CigarPass!

    Who is the "Rod" guy - I thought the owner's name was Rob. You buy this site from Rob at some point?!? Sorry - just kidding of course - it was a "joke" back in the day... Hard to believe it's been 25 years! And I remember all of the cigar sites back then, all competing with one another. And...

    Non-Cigar Purchases

    I just recently picked up a very nice multi-fuel genny due in large part to a VERY generous employee discount at Bass Pro (the wifey worked there for a time). Had my friend hook me up with a transfer switch and outside plug - now I feel all fancy and stuff. But almost guaranteed after going...

    Memorial Day A Long Time Ago - In Honor Of Devil Doc

    That is the most words I ever saw Doc put on a post. And the best words he ever wrote, despite some of the best on liners anywhere! I miss him... Thanks for the re-post Ray! And BTW - thought of you as I rearranged my liquor cabinet. Came across some beauties from group splits back in the...

    I'm liking Duster thus far. Interested to see where it goes. Pretty good job of making it look very 70ish. Also found and are watching Goliath Can't believe I had not watched it for 7 years - love Billy Bob Thorton's stuff!
