That pool is amazing for sure. I like Crasto wines better than their ports.

This was a tense moment in Havana:

I had a Dupont table lighter, but sold it a long time ago. I hardly ever see them. Looked like the regular silver plate lighters but much longer.

Well, there's no gigs for anyone these days... We also had a set of Marimba's in the house. I think they went one my first cousins. He sold the vibes about 10 years ago. I think the motor needed to be replaced. Such a cool instrument and impressive to watch being played. I took piano lessons for 13 years and can't play a tune 😔

California Cabs don't get much better than this. Almost 40 years old and still going strong. Cork was barely penetrated and looked like from a 10 year old wine. Super impressive and a real treat. Been waiting a while to drink this one with those who'd appreciate it. A magnum at that!

Playing chords with 3-4 sticks in each hand was very impressive.

My dad use to play the vibes professionally and we had the same in our house. He use to study with Gary Burton a very long time ago.

How about a case or few of wine? Plenty of wine choices in both dry and fortified that would be a good heirloom and or something to drink over the decades.

The government will use this current situation to reinforce existing policies.

Do they cost more than the same size Habanos? I thought they were similarly priced? Tobacco quality is on par and the Davidoff's have better construction.

They're terrific cigars by any measure. The whole Winston Churchill series are great.

A friend got suckered into buy 4 bottles of fake Yamazaki 12, on Cape Cod last week. It sells for $150-200 in my locale (according to friend) and the liquor store had them for $99. After he opened the first one, he said it tasted like the cheapest booze you wouldn't give a homeless person. Liquor store said they would refund him the unopened bottles and $50 back on the open. Further inspection he said the label weren't sharp as he recalls them being.

Orange wines have an oxidized taste that is not to everyone's liking. I think that may attribute to its color?

The Winston Churchill is a winner every vintage it comes out. 2008 is on the young side, no? Epic vintage across the board for '08 Champagne. Shafer is a classic. Never had that vintage, but I bet it was good.

Ordered some Antico's. Looking forward to them.
