    Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break

    Beautiful pictures and everything associated with them. Pipedreamin you are doing it all in style. I do not see a dog in the photos - what are you hunting over? I hunt pheasant and have my trusty Llewellin Setter sitting next to me in the recliner. Clearly we are both prepping for the...

    In Defense of Codger Blends

    A little Carter Hal in a MM with some black coffee has a simple appeal that is hard to beat. Kind of like meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Sure there are fancier offers, but sometimes simple is just right.

    Sweetest Aro

    Molte Dolce is the sweetest I have smoked. I had issues with a weird popping and cracking while smoking it. Ended up cutting it 50/50 with Carter Hall to dial it down.

    Birthday Presents to Yourself

    Most years all I want is time with family, a hot grill, some type of meat, bourbon and a cigar or pipe from my stash. I am currently saving a Padron 1964 for my birthday - in May.

    Tips on Similar Blends but Without Drytime Required?

    I keep most of my pipe tobacco and cigars in my basement near my exercise equipment. Simply pull out enough for a bowl and let it dry a little on a paper plate while I work out. Serves as a good motivator to be active.

    Deep dish pizza Italian beef sandwiches Chicago style hotdogs Access to great steak. Fish fry’s Pickled creamed herring Bratwurst (grilled and beer braised) All washed down with a brandy old fashioned. Reality of being near the Wisconsin boarder on the Illinois side.

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    My wife and I are getting over Covid, so it has been tea and honey this weekend only. Although I did not lose my sense of taste or smell, I am not sure I could detect much flavor of anything else.

    What's Your Favorite Doughnut?

    I only have donuts once a year or so, thus I can be a little picky on what I have. There is a local place called Gurnee Donuts near where I live which has my Favorite done right - lightly glazed cake donuts. I also have to have hot black coffee or ice cold milk or it just doesn’t work.

    Preferred Whiskey/Whisky Proof?

    And I thought I was bad with all the mason jars of Frankenstein batches I have on hand. I have not even considered tracking down matching waters. I am open for your next happy hour.

    Preferred Whiskey/Whisky Proof?

    Adding a few drops of water to whiskey will help it open up And can help bring down a “too high” of proof bottle. I have also brought some whiskey up in proof by adding a cask strength version from the same distillery. The Frankenstein mixes can be a lot of fun, but also a bit of a rabbit...

    How I Make Oatmeal

    I typically go with overnight oats. 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 milk a couple of big scoops of Greek yogurt a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar free sweetener let that sit in the fridge over night then add a small handful of walnuts. This will pretty much get me from lunch to dinner without any hunger.

    Preferred Whiskey/Whisky Proof?

    As I have expanded my whiskey (whisky) collection over the past few years I have noticed that of my 70+ bottles I only have two that are 80 proof. I believe my taste preference hits around 100 - 110 proof, but some of the cask strengths of 125+ proof are pretty sneaky and smooth. I drink 90%...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    I just gifted a good friend six Monte Cristo White Series for his road trip to Arizona. I hope my damp paper towel in a sandwhich baggy does the trick for the slow, three day drive. Sure enough I was out of small Bovedas to pack them properly.

    What's a "Man's Drink"?

    Straight bourbon or rye in Glencairn glass Is a typical man’s drink. Just the other day my wife and I were at a local store tasting some new ryes they just got it. Oh wait, I guess I just blew up my theory.

    What's For Dinner?

    Up early this morning to start a big pot of chili for visiting friends this weekend. Normally we do a fairly standard recipe. This time I am going to go a bit Cincinnati style and add a little cinnamon, allspice, and dark chocolate. I go light on the additional flavors, just enough to sense...

    What Are You Drinking? October 2023

    Picked up a bottle of Barrel Craft Amburana cask finish. Typical BC quality with a cinnamon roll taste and finish. Pretty good combo with animal crackers (free bar snack).
