Stopped by Puritan's Pub to have a cold beer. Hello

 

[JM]

We don't get many Easterners around here. Welcome. What'cha having?

 

[ProScribe]

I'll have a Shiner Bock.

 

[JM]

Never had a Bock, had pretty much everything else, but not a Bock.

 

[JustAsIam77]

Coors brewskie tonight.

 

[JM]

I had a tea tonight. Just sipping and chil-axe'in.

 

[JustAsIam77]

Tea is not allowed in the Pub, unless it's Long Island.

 

[JM]

How about Jack Daniels and Sweet Tea?

 

[JustAsIam77]

That will work.

 

[JM]

I bought it in a pre-mixed can last summer and took it to the beach with me. Nasty stuff. It didn't taste like iced tea or JD.

 

[JustAsIam77]

I have not heard of that..a premixed can of JD and sweet tea, sounds gross.

Ok, I've had a chance to smoke both the Grabow Royalton and the Cob pipe. The Grabow has a better look to it but the Cob, in my honest and very limited opinion, just smokes a whole lot better. I decided to have my weekly smoke this morning after the house cleared out, I started work at 10am, and had a heck of a time keeping the Grabow going. I had to light it 4 or 5 times. When I smoke the Cob I can light it once, smoke it slow and it just keeps going until the tobacco is gone.

I tried the Sweet Briar from Sterling Tobacco today and admit the room note was probably the best I've had the chance to experience. The taste wasn't there though, it seems like a tobacco that is smoked for the benefit of those in the room, not a bad idea if you're convincing a spouse of your new hobby. The Montego Bay that Twin sent me has the right combination of taste and room note.

Just a few thoughts...

The smell of pipe smoke from a fine tobacco cannot be overstated, I remember my grandad smoking his pipe as a lad and remember how good it smelled. I'm glad you're enjoying your pipe JM.

 

[JM]

As long as I don't enjoy it too much. In that case I'll have to give it up.

Ever since I've been enjoying the pipes twin sent me I've noticed my tastes have changed. I've been sipping more brandy, St. Remy in fact and enjoy it more with the pipe.

​

ST REMY Authentic French Brandy VSOP is exclusively elaborated from the distillation in France of exceptional varietal wines harvested in the legendary vineyards of France.

Thanks to a longer ageing, in small barrels, ST REMY Authentic French Brandy VSOP acquires a magnificent amber colour with golden highlights.

Bouquet :
The blend of the fruitiness and the “acid drop” of the eau-de-vie reveal notes of cherries and raspberries with touches of vanilla and oak.

Taste :
A very complex brandy thanks to richness of the distillates from the French vineyards. First strong and dry, then rounded with a fine complexity. Red fruits aromas, vanilla and woody notes. Suave and well balanced.

Try lots of ice.

 

[JM]

I second that. A shot with ice is nice.
