Some of these updated posts are going to be pulled from my Instagram account and expanded. While I have a strong #preference for reading #romance, my #heart in #alcohol has always been in #wine – the entire package from #terroir to #custom and #culture to #foodpairing has always fascinated me. If you’ve been following me … Continue reading
I had a chance recently to try out the Kristoff Cameroon – an interesting cigar from one of the brands almost always have in stock at Got Cigars? Anyone reading this knows I’m just unimpressed by Kristoff – the cigars aren’t bad or poorly constructed, they just have tasted average. Nothing stood out. Except for … Continue reading
Using Virgil Kaine GInger Bourbon gave it a unique kick, and the drink is made as such: Fill a shaker with ice, add 2 ounces Virgil Kaine Ginger bourbon, half ounce black cherry juice (no sweet shit), shake, pour, fill with soda water. I garnished with a lemon wedge but will admit, it needs a … Continue reading
Ingredients: Bedlam Vodka Fever Tree Elder Flower Tonic Water Your favorite Absinthe Method: Build Over Ice First off, I have to tell you that this was not something I wanted to give in to!

I managed to pick up the diesel grind torpedo at got cigars here in Decatur. This was a new blend from AJ Fernandez and easels it came out at this last year’s tobacco conference in Las Vegas.

The first few notes from the foot of this medium brown torpedo include plum, raisin, tobacco and chocolate. Cold draw confirmed those findings … Continue reading
Any serious cigar smoker knows they have to have the proper tools to keep their favorite blends in the proper storage conditions. I’ve had a few smaller humidors when I first started but as you can imagine, style for someone who marches to his own beat is important. This brings me to Achievement Cigar Company … Continue reading
This is a cigar I probably should have had a long time back, considering it’s been out since 2017 but fuck man. I’ve been moving and settling in! And yes, it’s taken me four years to do so! What? The Black Dahlia cigar joins the lineup as a regular production cigar from our friends at … Continue reading
I remember being a kid in the 80s, maybe really early 80s when they could still advertise alcohol on TV and seeing these commercials for an aperitif made in France that was supposed to be “rad” but had not that connotation. Instead, you were led to believe the drink inspired fun, sexy, seductive romances. At … Continue reading
The Inauguration by ACC Cigars comes in two sizes, A size (a whopping 9 inch cigar) and standard 7X50 Churchill. I got this from Max for review, so there’s the honest bit. The first thing I will say is in typical ACC Fashion, the cigar is beautiful, construction and leaf selection. Not a single blemish … Continue reading
