I recently made pulled pork tacos out of a pork shoulder and used the leftover skin and bones to make some pork stock. I was originally going to just make some split pea soup out of it, but then I started thinking about how I've had split pea soup a billion times and wanted to try something...

I tried drinking some more yesterday neat and I just couldn't do it. The smoke flavor is a bit too overpowering for me. I like this stuff - it's different then most of the other scotches I've had - but I think I like The Glenlivet better.

At the suggestion of others, I was told to look out for this particular scotch thanks to its heavy peat and smoke flavors. Well never one to shy away from something new (even if it does take me a while), I went in search of this bottle and actually found it for $30 in a liquor store in the hood...

The Baltimore Sun posted an article on this. You can read it here Honestly I was unaware that the cigars I could be buying needed taxes to be paid on them. If they want to sell me a license to import cigars via the mail, I'll gladly buy one. Or hell, show me what sort of taxes I should be...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. What others at higher price points would you suggest? I'm willing to spend up to around $100/bottle. Oh, London and Scottish International is definitly the firm that owns the brand. They've got a Royal Warrant that states they own the label...

I haven't really been able to find out too much about this scotch. It seems to exist in a void, escaping only to appear in the liquor store by my house and a liquor store in NC (thank you Google). From the little bit of information I've been able to discover it's marketed by a company called...

Did this happen today? Is that why some post are missing?

Ring Gauge: 50 Length: 5.2" Filler: Nicaragua (from a special reserve tobacco grown in Ometepe) Binder: Nicaragua Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra I don't generally smoke Punch cigars. For me, Punch will always be associated with gas stations and liquor stores (maybe it's a Baltimore thing, but...

Did you end up trying this? What did you think?

Ring Gauge:54 Length:5.7" Filler:Nicaragua Binder:Nicaragua Wrapper:Ecuadorian Connecticut At first I thought that this was some sort of joke. The same company that created the Ruination – a super heavy and tasty cigar that delivers its nicotine like a punch to your groin – has now created a...

Ring Gauge: 54 Length: 6.2" Filler: Dominican blend (Piloto Cubano, Criollo, and Olor) Binder: Couldn't find anything about this Wrapper: '98 Criollo The Augusto Reye Nativo is a pretty cigar. The wrapper had a distinct oily sheen to it as well as a golden brown hue. The first thing you’ll...

Ring Gauge: 52 Length: 6 1/2" Filler: Nicaraguan Binder: Handuran Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano I love Rocky Patel cigars. His flavor profiles are usually a bit on the unique side and I think that is what draws me to them. The 1961 is no different. Made with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a...

Ring Gauge: 43 Length: 5.75" Filler: Mixed batch of Dominican Republic and Nicaragua Binder: Dominican Wrapper: Dominican The first thing you notice when you see this cigar is the striking contrast between the dark brown cigar wrapper and the burnt red band. The band – always one of the more...

I'll have to try the other "flavors". I've only had this one size.

Thank you both. I though the names (Supremo, guajiro, etc) were just size differences. I didn't think they were different blends.

Ring Gauge: 50 Length: 6" Filler: Nicaraguan Binder: Nicaraguan Wrapper: Nicaraguan What a beauty this little cigar was. Dark and oily, with a smell that I can only describe as the elephant house at the zoo - both musky and leathery with hints of earth and moss. It's a fantastic smell and...

These are some of my favorite smokes too. I love that unique chocolate flavor they have. My only complaint with these is that I've found they've gotten mellower the longer I have them in my humi. I mean, I've only had my recent batch about 3 months now and they're definitely much more mellow...

How long do these guys burn for? I've been looking for a quick 30 minute smoke and these sound pretty good to me (I like the cedary/woodsy flavors).

This sounds pretty good to me. But then again, I've always been a big Rocky fan. I'll have to grab a fiver of this one.

I'm glad you understand what I was trying to say about the cocoa. Everyone recognizes bittersweet chocolate, but this taste wasn't really bittersweet but much more of a luscious creamy chocolate. As for the wrapper giving it that flavor, I really don't have any idea. It may sound funny saying...
