    Best Bourbon For An Old Fashion?

    I am more of a Manhattan drinker - and Sazerac Rye, bitters and Carpano Antico or Punt-e-mes are my go to vermouths. They both are offer a little bitterness that cuts down the sweetness of a Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth....but I digress... Wild Turkey 101punches above it's weight. Not too...

    Ian Anderson

    I agree with the Pederson but that's a hell of a dram of Scotch! That glass looks like it has a little foam at the top...definitely a dark Belgian - maybe a Leffe?

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    Today, I popped a new tin of SG FVF - dried out a flake and loaded it into the Roma 707. Chasing it down with a rye Manhattan - a good way to end the weekend.

    An after dinner smoke of Mission Pipe Shop English Oriental in that same Savinelli Roma 320. This is a local B&M blend that I always come back to and really enjoy. Need to stock up next time is visit the shop.

    How Do You Stay Fit?

    I was on a roll - 4 days of HIIT at the local gym before the pandemic hit. Then I stopped cold turkey, working at home, getting my exercise from walking to the refrigerator, mixing manhattans and keeping my local restaurants in business with take out orders. Working from home meant sweat pants...

    Anyone Remember the Ford Falcon Automobile?

    Speaking of mammoth Fords, I learned to drive in a 1974 Ford LTD Station wagon - with the faux wood panelling! It was not the coolest car in the high school parking lot, but I made more friends when you could fit a bunch in the back/rear seats. Did you know you can fit 17 guys in one of those...

    Anyone Remember the Ford Falcon Automobile?

    My parents first car was a 1960 Ford Falcon. One of my first memories as a child was June of '62, waiting at the bottom of the stairs for my dad and mom to come home from the hospital with my new baby brother in that Ford Falcon - of course no seat belts and no car seat!
