Once every few moons I will have a cigar while sitting on the deck. And a glass of scotch or port. And an espresso afterwards.

What you guys up to?

I've never followed a Cigar and Port with coffee, and it's been a while since I've had either. But spring is here........

I do have other stuff in my minibar - including a couple of bottles of cachaca, which come handy in summer when making caipirinha... But really scotch and porto are the winners.

Mauricio, I'll be around shortly :)

But for me, I'm into laxing outside with a Cigar and a nice glass of Glenfiddich Snow Phoenix.

I thought I might see mention of an e-cigarette or two in here. :)

Well, I don't smoke cigarettes. As I said the cigars are a thing that happen every once in a while.

Have enjoyed the odd cigar in the past, but not for a number of years. Still fond of the odd Single Malt or a Port or two. A good Pinot Noir goes down well too.

Enjoy my coffee black and as often as possible.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I used to be a smoker. Wish I tried a cigar when I was a smoker. :). Too dangerous to try now.... Still like the smell of a cigarette.



Anyway, for me it's a nice strong rum and coke and something good to watch on the telly. Simple pleasures.

Nice Mauricio. I could bore with the aquired knowledge I picked up working for a tobacco company... may I ask what cigars take your taste buds ?

Im 7 weeks smoke free and plan to celebrate 15 weeks with a cigar and whiskey (but somehow I dont think the wife will approve just yet).

I have 17 bottles of single malt Scotch in my pantry (different ones!). A wee dram on cold and windy night is a singular pleasure and I like to be able to have the range of styles to choose from.

It takes me a very long time to drink them (more than one of them is over 7 years since purchase!) because by NZ standards I am more or less teetotal, consuming on average one small bottle of beer in a month or the equivalent. It is at least 10 years since I was too inebriated to, for example, legally drive I would say.

Not familiar with this one. I have a 'fiddich 18 YO but this iteration is not one I have seen. Enlighten us!
