    What Are You Drinking? January 2023

    We cracked open the Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2022 BRT - 02, after having a pour of the BRT - 01 (which we both loved ) last night. The 02 is a completely different experience. Deeper, darker, and more rich fruit notes dominate this one, with baking spices and a dark chocolate note on...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

    I just realized I posted in the December thread. That’s what happens before the first cup of coffee. Rouxgaroux in a cob, large coffee doctored just right with bourbon cream, and EPL on the IPad. All enjoyed on the front porch on this surprisingly mild and foggy morning. Happy New Year, All...

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

    Happy New Year, All! Slept in a bit this morning after staying up way past my bedtime. Woke up with a craving for Rouxgaroux, so loaded up a cob, made a large cup of coffee with a heavy splash of bourbon cream, and stepped out on the porch to begin 2023 in proper fashion. I wish you all a...

    What Are You Drinking? December 2022

    I began the day by trying a new bourbon cream by Middle West Spirits out of Columbus, Ohio. I should probably do a side by side comparison with Buffalo Trace, Ezra Brooks, and Jim Beam bourbon creams, but I find this to be on the tad bit sweeter side. Cheers! I’ve started off my New Year’s...

    I have come to find the faint scent of gasoline and lawn trimmings oddly comforting. Mixed with tobacco smoke and the sweet aroma of bourbon……Nirvana! Happy New Year’s, @Backwoods Briar. Cheers!

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

    My brother in law decided that it would be a good idea to bring his grandkids over to our house for New Year’s festivities. I’m not a doctor, but I think they would be outstanding candidates for a clinical ADHD study. 🤦‍♂️ So….. I’ve slipped away to the garage to enjoy a bowl of 2020 Cringle...

    Morning all. As my friend @UncleRasta says, I’m up early for the footie. I’m enjoying KBV Burley Morning Pipe as my first smoke in almost a week, and trying out a new bourbon cream that recently showed up at my store. Hope the last day of 2022 is a good one for everybody. Cheers!

    Good morning and Merry Christmas! Woke up early to enjoy a bowl of Burley Morning Pipe with a hot cup of coffee, before the day’s whirlwind of festivities begins. Hope Santa has been good to everyone! Cheers!

    Your Blend Of The Year 2022

    Anthology really stood out for me. I felt like Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grate while I smoked that one.

    What Are You Drinking? December 2022

    I slow sipped a pour of Bardstown Bourbon Company Discovery Series #9, while wrapping presents earlier. I’m a big fan of this series, and this batch ranks as one of the best in my opinion. Caramel, tobacco, leather, and Chocolate bomb. I’m curious to know the distillery in Georgia where 35% of...

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

    Season’s Greetings, All. I’ve been busy with my Christmas tradition of waiting until the last possible moment to wrap all the gifts. Now that that task has been completed, it’s time to relax with a bowl of KBV Santa Drive, in a handsome and brand new MM with an acrylic swirled stem that...

    What Are You Drinking? December 2022

    One case limit ( 6 bottles ) per customer. He and his wife bought a case each. They were in line when the doors opened on the day of the drop. I feel very fortunate to be the recipient of his gracious generosity. Cheers!

    What Are You Drinking? December 2022

    I’ve been on a bit of a rye kick today. Had a pour of Pikesville while watching the Carolina game today, then a celebratory/nerve calming pour of Michter’s Barrel Proof Toasted Barrel after stealing one in overtime in an ugly affair. This team will drive me nuts this season. Now, I’m going...

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

    I’m home alone with the cats, wife won’t be home until late tonight, and I have no particular place to go; so I’m going to have a pour of Pikesville rye with my bowl of CVP, and waste the day away watching college basketball and bowl games, between naps. Cheers!

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

    Good morning. My work day has been rained out, so I’ve got a little time on my hands for a bowl this morning. As a tribute to Weezell, I’ll be smoking Ennerdale in my only meer. Rest easy, my friend. Cheers!

    That’s a risk that I’m unwilling to take. Mine went straight into gallon Mylar bags, cardboard box and all.
