In Today's Mail


The restocking of the humidor... two Drew Estate samplers, described thusly:
Staying true to the Drew Estate mantra, this sampler is anything but conservative. Whether you're an infused cigar junkie or you're just looking to switch up your normal routine, this sampler aims to please.
Three Six each (ed: coz I bought two) of Natural Limited Edition Irish Hops, Natural Big Dirt Torpedo, ACID Kuba Kuba, and the highly acclaimed Tabak Especial Limited Edition Red Eye. Expect sweet flavors ranging from coffee infusion to unique mixes of herbs and botanicals.
Only one of the cigars included in the sampler is new to me, and that would be the Irish Hops stick.  I'm a big fan of the others and buy them by the box quite regularly.  So... we just sparked up a Big Dirt Torpedo, poured us a State Pen Porter... a perfectly poured Porter as it were, even if the head receded somewhat before I got the camera out... and Happy Hour is under way, as we speak!

  1. Looks like a good Happy Hour. Cooler weather may be on its way. Well, temps in the 90's are cooler for us. Mornings may get down in the 60's. That means coffee on the verandah.

  3. Perhaps I missed a previous post featuring State Pen Porter. Love the name. Since you didn't rhapsodize about it (or curse it out) here, I'll assume you've had it before and liked it?

  5. Buck, I'm glad to see you're enjoying the State Pen beer. I'm going to crack one or three tomorrow night, around 7.

    Go check out "The Hate Factory" on Amazon. Oh, The Irony!

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
