I saw Chuck Mangione in concert - 1979 in Champaign, IL. And the greatest thing - met his father selling Chuck's merch in the lobby. Great memories... RIP Chuck...

Now THIS is a dad's joke I can work with!!! 🤣 Nice play dawgie! Thank you for swooping in and saving the thread from the grasp of those munchkins politically hijacking it! And @SKYDIVNEKD - please don't let them fool you - Todd has always been the owner and still his. I don't have a CLUE...

CP has a history of riding on the Crazy Train (shout out to Ozzie, RIP) - so by default we're always on the "track". Just sometimes we have to pay an obligatory visit to the Island of Misfit Toys (see how many remember THAT CP reference...). :cool: Just saw an interview with Jay Leno - and...

I don't know Floyd - it was kinda funny - in a strange CP kind of way (we've always needed those dust up to reset the pecking order...). Appropriate? There could be an argument made! Then again - we've always known you to be at the top of the food chain - and only chime in once the dust...

You are damn lucky Coventry is not here. There would be a 3 page dissertation on your misuse of misabuse!

...at least they've left out the "commie" part. Be glad it did not go that way!!! 😜

"self motivated"? ...oh boy - I'm going to have to call out the big guns on this one. Where's CC86, CP's Grammarian, when we need him most! :cool:

Honestly - that's what I've always loved about the cigar community. I've had some amazing difficult discussions with my BOTL over a cigar and adult beverage - but we all walk out arm in arm, making plans for our next get together. This damn social media crap has ruined all of that... :mad...

Question of the day: If a chicken-and-a-half laid an egg-and-a-half in a day-and-a-half, how long would it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

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".

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

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...

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! 🤢🤣

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!

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...

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....

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...
