    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    Thanks Monkey! I’m surprised to see you up so early, after the night you’ve had over in the What are You Drinking ? thread.;) Cheers, Brother!??

    Thanks, reloader! I have a feeling that we may be drinking the same beverage this morning ;)?. Cheers, Brother!

    Thanks Tim. I wish I had that luxury, but my phone has rung off the hook with work calls from the first day I got sick. One of the drawbacks of being a one man operation is that there’s no one to pick up the slack when you’re unable. I probably should be working today but I’ll be jumping in with...

    Good morning all. I’m sitting down with my first smoke in a couple of weeks, after an unwelcome Covid vacation. Glad to be back to normal and thank you everyone for the kind get well wishes. Burley Morning Pipe in a cob, and a cup of coffee with my favorite sweetener. Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    I’ve always been a huge fan of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Even the “off batches” are better than almost every other offering in that price range. However, I noticed that the age of these bottles are 8-9 years old. The age on the regular release Barrel Proofs is 12 years. I can’t help but think...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    Well, after dodging it for the past couple of years, Covid finally got me. Body aches, chills, sore throat, low grade fever, etc. Probably picked it up at the concert I attended Saturday night. It sucks, but could be worse, I suppose. Needless to say, I’ll be refraining from smoking for a few...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    I’m dragging my tail this morning, after a late night out with friends at a local music venue. We were so lazy this morning that we ordered Cracker Barrel “to go”. Going to enjoy a bowl of Sir John’s Flake in a cob, while it’s still cool out on the porch. Have a great Sunday! @timt -...

    Had to work all morning, ugh. Now I’m home, and going to sit down with a bowl of Astleys No. 44 in a Country Gentleman. A nice nap will follow, before heading out to the Robert Earl Keen show this evening. Cheers!

    Larceny Barrel Proof A122. First drink of the month, but won’t be the last this evening . Cheers!

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2022?***

    It’s been one hell of a week. Working pretty much sun up till sun down. The positive side is that I had a record setting week, the downside is that I had no time to relax with a smoke. That’s all about to change right now. I‘ve loaded a cob with Cabbies Mixture and poured a glass of Larceny...

    Edit - That should be dessert instead of desert. Wouldn’t want anyone thinking it tasted like dry sand. ? Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    My preferred bourbon cream is Buffalo Trace, and just like anything else with the name Buffalo Trace on the bottle, they don’t tend to linger too long on the shelf. It comes in at 15% abv ( 30 proof ) and cost $20.00 at my N.C. ABC store. It’s friggin‘ delicious! Jim Beam and Ezra Brooks also...

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    Time for my Sunday morning “get caught up” post. Friday evening was a couple pours of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength. Good but nothing spectacular. I find it very easy drinking for a cask strength. Cheers! Last night, we began with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B522. This is the new batch that was...

    Good morning all. I’m having a repeat performance of yesterday’s delightful combination- WCC Original Crumb Cut and Buffalo Trace bourbon cream with a generous splash of coffee ( a nod to @edger‘s wise wife ). A lazy morning, followed by a mid afternoon family cookout at the in-laws, is on tap...

    Well, if she’s like my wife, she knows everything ;). Speaking of my lovely wife, she’s joining me on the porch as we enjoy this perfect, late spring evening. Sipping bourbon and listening to our favorite tunes, as the air in the neighborhood is filled with the intoxicating aroma of backyard...

    Another week is in the books. It’s time to get the weekend started with St. James Flake in a MM Emerald and a pour of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. Cheers!

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

    My busy day is finally winding down. I’m smoking the last of my dried Cringle Flake 2021 in my no name billiard meer. Going out on the porch and watch the storms roll through. Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? May 2022

    Your post piqued my interest, so I dug out the only Ezra Brooks that I own, and opened it up. It’s the Barrel Proof 7 year and it comes in at 117 proof. I am by no means an aficionado, so feel free to take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I think I bought this bottle 2-3 years ago and paid...
