Greatest recommendation in 2014

[Blackham]

What's the best recommendation given to you recently? Let's do one cigar related and one for anything else (drinks, cars, adult movie actresses, cat food, etc)

I'll start with a few:

Cigar related: Dry box using newspaper- recently trip to Pinar Del Rio and a farmer taught me this: Find a clean page of newspaper without too much ink (eg. Ads). Wrap around you cigar 1 day before you smoke, and notice the nice burn of your cigar.

Beer: a botl introduced the Goose Island Pere Jacques to me. Now I'm hooked to every release of their bottle (Sofie, Matilda, and a dark ale which I forgot the name). Chicago based, Belgium style ale, smooth and fruity. Always been the party favorite since.

Opti-coat: basically an overcoat for the overcoat of your car's paint, suppose to last 2-3 years depends how much you drive your car. Now my car looks like show room condition everyday. I got it done by a detailer for 350$ and it's the best money I've ever spent on the car.

How about a good book, I need a recommendation actually...picked up Euphoria that just came out by Lily King, but not feeling it. However, I did enjoy Loss of Innocence by Richard North Patterson which was recommended to me this year

SLR Pacificos from Rob was very interesting. Dunno why but I thought of a Sig VI but at half the price.

very complex, three sets of distinct flavors and yet only $14.

Matilda was a beer I recently stumbled across. I'm not normally an IPA guy (and I understand this is a Belgian Pale Ale) so I didn't expect to like it but I really did. I'm going to have to track down some of their other ones. Thanks for the recommendation!

Matilda isn't an IPA, it's more like a Belgian-style Dubbel. Not hop-heavy at all.
