What's your favourite soundtrack... track?
Phinz replied to MoeFOH's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I originally heard the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack on a university radio station and had to have a copy (back in the days before the internet, you’d go to a record store). I was amazed when Tarantino used it in Jackie Brown… Damn, that guy knows how to score a movie! -

1969 Cohiba Logo T-Shirt (PENDING)
Phinz replied to MasterYotti's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
I was so taken with my first two, so I just ordered two more for me and one for the BIL. Thanks, and awesome work! ? -
What is the song that moves you emotionally?
Phinz replied to Ribeye's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Had a chance to see Shemekia perform this song (written by her late father, which gives it even more emotion) live, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when she walked out from behind the mic. A recording just can’t do justice to how awesome her unaided voice is; completely fills an amphitheater, but still clear and not shouting. -

Shocked to see three bottles of the Ardbeg Committee release Drum on the shelf at my local liquor store, even more surprised they when they said there was no limit (I split the gluttony difference and left a bottle for another lucky Ardbeg fan).

Preferred Coffee Cup/Glass
Phinz replied to Fuzz's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
Recently swapped from HydroFlask to Kyocera, as the HydroFlask wouldn’t fit the cup holder in my new ride. Kyocera is as good at retaining heat as other double wall vacuum mugs, but has the bonus feature of a ceramic lining, so no mug flavor imparted to my coffee -

Normally only available in the more common glass top box via a cousin of a Cohiba factory worker’s sister-in-law. However, I picked these up via a 24:24. Thanks for delivering one of my “unicorns,” Prez! ?: -

What's your #1 top-shelf gin?
Phinz replied to MoeFOH's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
For me, it was always Hendrick’s for G&T and Bombay Saphire for Greyhounds. But I recently had someone gift me a locally made gin from Watershed Distillery in OH and I really enjoy the coriander forward flavor in the G&T. Just don’t try their bourbon, it is foul stuff! -

Recent 24:24 score. My current box of 898s are down to just 8s... time to get some fresh ones aging! -

Two PSP boxes of Presidentes from a recent 24:24. The roll on these is amazing, as every stick I inspected was the perfect firmness. No underfilled or overfilled in two whole boxes, that can happen? ? Thanks, Prez! -
I’d add Papa’s Pilar 24 to the list @ $35. It is a super sweet rum, but I have a sweet tooth.

Question on period ageing.
Phinz replied to El Presidente's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
3 yr: BBF 5 yr: Cohiba Corona Esp. 10 yr: something from the Siglo line or Party 898 -

Beyond the usual suspects (scotch, bourbon, rum), here are two I love to pair with a cigar: Sazerac- I build mine with Rittenhouse rye, St. George absinthe and barrel aged Peychaud’s bitters. Manhattan- I build mine with Rittenhouse rye (spot a trend?), Woodford Reserve spicy cherry bitters and a couple of rainier maraschino cherries. Pairs perfectly with any cigar with a cherry note

Your favourite Old School things?
Phinz replied to MoeFOH's topic in Cigars Discussion Forum "the water hole"
For me, welted leather shoes. We’re business casual at work, so these AE Overlords are my go to (they just stopped making them, but I picked up some spare pairs on clearance): Leather sole with a lugged heel and the whole thing made from soft kudu (antelope) leather. These are real shoes and can be rebuilt several times, so easily a decade of regular wear.... try getting a decade out of that injection molded crap most manufacturers put out! -
Another good day for Islay malt- found four more bottles of Loch Gorm @ clearance price, along with a Corryvreckan on sale. The Pusser’s is for today... Tiki Painkillers in the backyard!
