The secondary market is a huge problem and often complained about here in Germany. A limited release whisky hits the market and is sold out in minutes. Minutes later the bottles are on various auction sites for twice the original price. People who buy these bottles are as just as idiotic as the sell...

As far as I understand Quine, they add the dunder to the wash and to the thumper.

I only drink the 75% version as it is the one that I liked the most. It is sweet though and I was thinking that it must have sugar added.

Thanks, I might paraphrase those questions but I think most of them I'll steal.

Questions you'd ask Zacapa's Brand Ambassador

A really poor interview with Rebecca Quiñonez was recently conducted by a rum blogger here; http://www.therumlab.com/interview-with-rebecca-quinonez-global-brand-ambassador-for-ron-zacapa/ I took issue with the powder puff piece, to which the interviewer, to his credit, politely asked me what questi...

Not as much as the XXX but pretty close. The pigtail should definitely not be smoked on an empty stomach. I do smoke full medium to large sized bowls of it though.

You must try these Jimbo. You may not like them but they are a must. I forgot to mention the sweet rum Pigtail is sweeter than the rum Pigtail but neither smell or taste of rum. I think the rum may just take any sharp edges off the Virginia and give it a little more depth.

Traditional Tobacco Pt 2 Pigtail Twist

This will be a write up on two types of Pigtail Twist as they are so similar that it doesn't make any sense to separate them. So Pigtail Twist Rum & Sweet Rum http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk129/devotus/Pipe/IMG_1372__54228.1427885341.1280.1280_zpshspigmhm.jpg This is a twist that is much s...

Traditional Tobacco Pt 1 Black XXX (Umami)

Traditional and historical tobacco forms that I'm talking about today are Twists and plugs. When I first started smoking pipe tobacco I read about traditional forms of production, these production methods and resulting forms of tobacco piqued my curiosity. Unfortunately here in Germany plugs and twi...

I don't think you covered every glass, and even if you did more voices on the opinion is what a consensus is all about, oder? (Edit; actually that glass list was pretty comprehensive) I actually agree with you. I think that the diameter of the opening on most whisky glasses is too small for exactly ...
