10 Whisky Facts

October 13, 2008

I’m not a big fan of beer in the first place and always preferred spirits or wine. I bet I’m probably not the only one that feels clueless when staring at all the bottles on the shelf fearing to shell out anywhere from $20 to $100 on a bottle of something I might not like. [...]

C.A.O. Rock n Rolled Tour Kicks Off

October 10, 2008

I’m a little behind on getting this up and due to a problem with my audio recorder I didn’t catch all of the conversation I had with Jon Huber. I’m scheduling a later time to get him on the phone and redo the interview. If you were in Cincinnati on Oct. 7th and you missed the CAO Rock n Rolled Tour stop, you better have a damn good excuse.

This event was the kick off of the C.A.O. Rock-n-Rolled Tour, and this was an awesome way to start. Last count before I left is over 120 boxes of cigars were sold due to some really great specials they had going on. Miguel our local C.A.O. Sales Rep and the guys from The Party Source never slowed down, the only pause in the frantic pace is when they stopped to do the drawing for the raffle prizes.

Ashtray mouth: How do you get rid of it?

October 9, 2008

Have you smoked a cigar but found that brushing your teeth and rinsing with mouthwash doesn’t quite get rid of the aftertaste? Of course you have. My question for you: What’s your go-to item — a drink, something you eat, whatever — for ridding your mouth of the taste? Do you even bother?

Hanging out in Nat Sherman’s Johnson Club Room

October 6, 2008

Earlier this year, I reviewed the Nat Sherman Host Selection, the Nat Sherman Metropolitan Selection, the Nat Sherman V.I.P. Selection and the Nat Sherman Omerta. I enjoy the company’s cigars, but I just hadn’t been to Nat’s new 42nd Street digs. So I was in New York recently, and in between a Mets game and [...]

Cigar Review: Don Lino Africa Duma

October 3, 2008

So, there’s a new cigar shop that passes for a decent pub about 10 minutes from my house. I’m working with the owner to beef up his selection (it needs it!!). He turned me on to the Don Lino Africa Duma (robusto) the other night. I must say, I do not normally make first impressions with smokes, but this one looked really good! I totally dig the band! Nice dark oily wrapper! Thick, meaty mutha…smooth veins, and a tad bit lumpy! Quite firm though….

Whoa… Caffeine Buzz!

October 2, 2008

I’m not a huge fan of the overly sweet “Energy Drinks” out there but if you put coffee in something I’m always willing to give it a whirl. Last week I was contacted by Shock Coffee and asked if I’d like to try out their products. Hmmm free stuff? Sweet! Anyway I’m waiting for the [...]
