    Skiff Mixture Replacement. Anyone?

    Last night I was rummaging in my basement, trying really hard to find any number of blends I thought I'd put down there. Found some great stuff I didn't know I had. Three Jars of McClelland Dark English Full, 8 Jars of PS Balkan Supreme...all with a dozen years of age on them. Can't wait to hit...

    ***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

    I popped a tin of Early Morning Pipe this morning. First time trying it. Jury is still out, thought it would be more like Skiff Mixture which I love. This week's rotation included: Blend for Cary Grant, Blood Red Moon, Nightcap match, Three Friars.

    Destination B&Ms

    Been to Nat Sherman quite a lot, but not in a few years. So conveniently located if you're taking the train in from Connecticut. like a 10 minute walk, if that, from Grand Central. I think it's still there. Great place.

    Destination B&Ms

    I'll have to hit Cup O'Joes in Lake George sometime. I've driven through it a bunch of times heading to Montreal, even stopping for lunch there a time or two. Didn't know Cup O'Joes was there or I would have sought it out. And yeah, every time I stop in Lake George, I always think to myself I...

    So, I cracked open a few jars of Vaper the last week. HH Anniversary Kake was the first, which prompted my initial comment about maybe not digging on Vapers anymore. I used to like this, but god.. it was not a good smoke at all. Burned the crap out of my tongue. Smoked like 3 bowls in different...

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    I've seen that one at Total Wine too. Shocking how many good value Brandy there is out there. I'll work my way up the price scale and then back down til I find my sweet spot/ go to Brandy. I'm sure I'll find several. But it's really interesting how an hour after I finish smoking my pipe I can...

    It was good... really nice stuff. A little less sweet than the VSOP and had pleasant bite the VSOP lacked.

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    No.... Please. Not that kind of brandy. The Mr. Boston variety cough syrup we were all initiated with when we were High School Freshman? That's exactly what I was drinking in 1982. Never Again. And damn, wish I'd seen that Police concert. I certainly DO miss Shea Stadium. But Citi Field has...

    I'd drink it, but that sounds like one of those drinks I'd order out. Would need an experienced hand making that concoction. And Vegas is great. Tops my short list of places to retire. Perfect combination of crass, seedy and refined. Reminds of NYC in that way, but way better weather. Cheers.

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    Thanks so much. And I've had absinthe a few times, first time in Milan when visiting family 20 years ago. Time flies. Is it available in the states these days? Definitely wasn't back then.

    My man. Thanks for the effort in putting this together. I'll be sure to reference this list when looking to buy something special. Much appreciated.

    Sounds like a fine reward for a hard day's work. Thanks for the reminiscence.

    Good to know. Just bought a bottle of that yesterday. I'll crack it tonight. Thanks.

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    Yeah, Rye is enjoyable. Whistle Pig, Michter's are the pricey one's I've tried, thanks to a friend and his generous pours. I've bought the more reasonably priced ones and enjoyed those too.

    Which Are Your Favorite Coffee Blends

    I've seen it at Costco. I'll put it on the list as I've never tried it.

    Any Brandy Drinkers?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Been mostly a vodka, bourbon and scotch drinker. But in the last couple of years, I've tried some cheapo brandy like E&J and some Total Wine house brands. Happened to have a bottle of E&J VSOP left over from the holidays and poured some...

    Which Are Your Favorite Coffee Blends

    I prefer dark roast coffee myself. Certainly Starbucks French Roast which I grind and make in a stainless steel French press using the Hoffman method (brewing at a finer grind for longer time). Peet's Major Dickinson, using the same method. If I'm on a budget... I'll try Walmart's Great Value...

    Yeah, I think the Virginia's will always have room in my rotation because they're such a solid palate cleanser. And I recall them surprising me from time to time in a good way. I liked the grassy barnyard ones, especially on hot days. Like a cool sip of lemonade. Anyway, thanks for the...
