In the past 3 months I’ve gone through 5 boxes of AJ Fernandez Last Call. At $4-5/stick these are amazing smokes. I smoke cigars often so I like cigars <$6.
Yeah cubans of any kind are over the moon expensive these days. Are you coming to the Philly meet up next week? I'm hoping we can get a cigar & whiskey table running out back at least one night.
I think this is fair but I find that even with fuller bodied nics I actually still prefer the scotch so that it’s not two heavy hitters at once.
That sour, almost bitter note just ruins it for me. Not quite as bad as the Makers 46 CS, but it’s close 
Definitely sweet. I’ll have to spend more time with it. Maybe I’ll try again after dinner.
I missed out on pick #2 due to work, but the OG Donkey Juice pick was a fantastic experience! Met some great people from PCF, played some poker and shared quite a bit of bourbon along the way!Thank you. I drank them faster than I should and the extra bottle went to my brother who really appreciated it as well. I've still got 2 left from the second buy, but didn't like that bottle quite as much as the first one. Which begs the question when is BBNAGB #3 happenings?
I try to pair scotch and cigars and it never works out like I want.
I do coffee quite a bit as well. Irish whiskey works well on occasion too, I had a pour of Powers John's Lane with an older Bolivar a few months back that paired incredibly well together.
Those are slowly starting to appear around here along with the 6yr malted rye. I’m anxiously waiting for that 8yr to surface. Nice score…Should be a banger!
The RB Lustau is excellent!
I see what you did there
It’s my wife’s bush. But it’s my LE.

View attachment 1380862This is excellent! Definitely can tell this is heavily sherry influenced. Nutty and fruity on the nose but there’s another sweet note I just can’t put my finger on, but I like whatever the hell it is! Tons of spice on the palate but it enhances the other flavors of fig and raisins along with a delicious candied ginger. Getting a minty note in there too. The finish on this is soooooooooooooo long. Love it! Guess I’ll have to dig a little deeper into yet another style of whisky
Great sample @Saoliver !
Edit…that sweet note on the nose just came to me…praline pecans
This is an absolutely incredible dram. Good choice for getting someone hooked on scotch @SaoliverView attachment 1380862This is excellent! Definitely can tell this is heavily sherry influenced.
