Happy St. Patrick's Day from the firepit! I'll be celebrating with friends tomorrow so tonight is for Gold Spot and an Ocean Breeze from Lampert Cigars. Thanks to @whiskeyhacker for the Gold Spot recommendation and @Costco for carrying it! Omg, this whiskey is so good! This is truly liquid candy with flavors of rich berry jam, cream soda, some spice, and wood. This is gonna be one of those hord bottles that you will have to pry a sip out of me. ...

Some Woodford Reserve Masters Collection batch proof bourbon and a Victor Calvo Maduro box press cigar to round out the weekend. ....

Happy birthday to my hometown, that toddlin town, my kind of town Chicago! To celebrate the city's incorporation on this day, March 3, 1837, I'm drinking the Koval single barrel rye whiskey and smoking an Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva. The whiskey is full of spice, sweet brown sugar, and mint and is so good. .... "Chicago is a town, a city that doesn't ever have to measure itself against any other city. Other places have to measure themselves against it. It’s big, it’s outgoing, it’s tough, it’s opinionated, and everybody’s got a story." —Anthony Bourdain .... "It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago—she outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them. She is always a novelty; for she is never the Chicago you saw when you passed through the last time." —Mark Twain .... #cigar #CigarLover #CigarAfficionado #cigarphoto #cigarsnob #cigarlife #cigarsmoke #cigarsandwhiskey #TapThatAsh #whiskey #ryewhiskey #fryeday #koval #WhiskeyLover #WhiskeyAfficionado #whiskeylife #whiskeyandhistory #whiskeyphoto #WhiskeyNeat #quote #quotestagram #chicago (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpZIZEBrc8L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Smoking and Ocean Breeze from Lampert Cigars and diving into this 19 year old Highland single malt Scotch from Tomintoul Distillery and Trader Joe's. This is an ex-bourbon cask whisky with notes of creamy vanilla, shortbread, some lemony-citrus, and a very interesting finish. Great find and price if you see it, and like non-peaty Scotch, grab it. ... Showing off some new coins recently added to the collection from some fellow Coasties who wanted to trade for mine. These are all stellar fellas, thanks. ... Pouring out a toast to the USCGC Decisive and her many crews. Today Decisive was decommissioned in Pensacola after 55 years of service to our nation. The 210-ft cutter was built by the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore, MD and commissioned in 1968. She served in the North Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico saving lives, enforcing US law, and keeping watch for the ice patrol. Her crew's have been there for mariners and their communities when they were in need and her hull served as their home through the best and worst of times. She will now return to the Yard of her birth to wait for her final set of orders. ... "I revere that long line of expert seamen who by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me to be a member of a service honored and respected, in peace and in war, throughout the world."

The 2019 Four Kings Rye to bring me into President's Day weekend. Paired with a Vegas Cubanas by Don Pepin Garcia. The whiskey pairs really well with this cigar featuring notes of peppermint, some pepper spice, and a little bit of wood before a light caramel finish. .... Putting some smoke in the air for the crew of the USS Albacore (SS-218) still on patrol. Her and her crew's final resting spot was identified yesterday, Feb 16, 2023, off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan. Lost on patrol in 1944, Albacore has the distinction of sinking the highest warship tonnage of any US submarine. During her 12 war patrols she was bombed twice by the US Army Air Corps, sank 10 confirmed ship including the newest Japanese carrier Taihō, has an additional 3 unconfirmed sinkings, and dodged numerous depth charges. It's believed she struck a submerged mine November 7, 1944. She and her 85 were presumed lost on December 21, 1944 and her name was striken from Naval register on March 30, 1944. ....

First off thanks to the two excellent Coasties who asked to trade for one of my INF4 coins; these are two most excellent designs to add to my little collection. I'm not naming names, so you don't get bothered. Revisiting this great single barrel pick of Old Pepper Straight Rye. Coming in at 107 proof, this Dram has notes of light mint, peppercorns, leather, and a nice rye spice finish. Paired with a Brickhouse Bricktoberfest cigar. .....

Tonight's choice is the Oppidan Smoke + Sea a four grain and a solera aged bourbon mash bills finished in French oak and Islay Scotch barrels. Lots of dark chocolate, earth, tobacco, and vanilla flavors on this one. Paired with a Romeo Y Julieta Reserva cigar. .... "Thinking gives off smoke to prove the existence of fire. A mystic sits inside the burning. There are wonderful shapes in rising smoke that imagination loves to watch. But it's a mistake to leave the fire for that filmy sight.

So.... When I bought this bottle several months ago I missed the part that said it was finished with spices. This tastes like pumpkin spice beer and I hate pumpkin spice beer. Not to say this is bad, I just don't care for it personally. This is the single barrel pick of Cali Whiskey from Cali Distillery. If you like baking spice and fall flavors in your mouth you will like this. @demetripanos I've got a bottle you can have! Paired with a Warfighter cigar courtesy of a shipmate. ....
