Are Cubans really the best?

[butternutsquashpie]

Hmmmmm.. last i read this thread, it was still on Cuban Cigars!!

Last post here:

Cubans are to cigars what Scotch is to whisky.

and i have to respond to it mentioning my backing on the Irish Whiskeys. Midleton used to be my favourite whiskey of ALL time. Then i had the Cragganmore 21. Then i had the Dalmore 22. Then i had the Wild Turkey 12... And so on and so forth.

Anyways, don't forget Canadian Rye! 40 Creek anyone??
I have no bias.... I PROMISE!! (no eyes to my signature please )

With you on that one Chris, love the Irish whiskey & always try to have Jamiesons in the house.

Gentleman Jack for me now, lovely tipple.

Hmmm, sounds like that bottle may be unmolested for a while then Chris. But I sincerely hope your wife/partner has a child with you in due course

haha im hoping to put a few more years age on it. At least till after I finished uni and have a good job.

Nope handmade mate but yes stick to liverpool city centre one

well if the quality of the cigar is good could they not be saved in placed in a humidor for a while? I'll be going back in January to get some more sticks to add to the collection.

Have you tried the jack with honey? chris

Been wanting to try that whats it like as am not a big fan of normal jack daniels.

Back on topic the little upmann from asda spent 2 months in my humidor and only at the final 3rd it opened up mate

I haven't tried it either I'll be honest. I'm a little hesitant due to price lol dont want to buy it if its not good. 2 months doesn't seen so bad if you only smoke occasionally like me. I may buy a pack as an experiment but I will continue to use Liverpool, have you ordered from their website?

Honey Jack's alright! It is sweet, you would want it straight on the rocks but it's not a bad finisher to a night.

No probem mate

There are much better North American whiskys than Jack at a similar prices. Buffalo trace is an easily available one.

If you want a honey whisky drink..... Put the honey in yourself, that way you can have as much or as little as you want.

Good suggestion mate am not a whiskey bourbon drinker find it harsh so thought honey would calm that down

[ValeTudoGuy]

Makers mark, buffalo trace, Woodford reserve, Bulleit, wild turkey, Elijah Craig and knob creek are all much better examples of US whisky than Jack Daniels and Jib Beam IMHO especially given the current price of Jack 'n' Jim.

I think its a shame that the two big players have the market so locked up that many consumers will never try anything beyond them. That's not to say that Jack and Jim don't have a place, but realistically they are worth ?14-?16 a bottle and are very useful in a cocktail makers arsenal.
