Gin is the reason I dislike martinis. A vodka martini on the other hand...Gin!?
YUCK!

Well, it is hard to go wrong with a Monte Cristo of any variety, but since I only smoke twice a year (once on my birthday and once on Christmas), I like to try something new each time. I am fond of a Costa Rican variety, the name of which I do not recall, but it comes wrapped in a scented palm leaf. It's actually quite enjoyable either to taste or smoke.
Beefeater is my go-to martini gin, but I rarely drink martinis. A martini is made with gin; with vodka what's the point? Especially if you're one of those "no vermouth" martini people. Vodka is by definition an odorless, flavorless spirit and I don't get watering it down and adding nothing for flavor. Ahem. I do use Beefeater more often in negronis, corpse revivers, or other more complicated cocktails. I prefer Tanqueray with tonic. As for scotch, my all-time fave is Highland Park 18, which inexplicably costs $20 more for a bottle in Chicago than it did in the SF Bay Area (actually not inexplicable, state alcohol laws are messed up and can add a lot of unnecessary price for the consumer). It is important to note the difference between blended scotch and single malts though: Johnnie Walker and Famous Grouse are blended, Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, and Highland Park are single malts. Also, they spell it "whisky" without the "e" in Scotland.
Hey!And really ZB? Flavored cigars? I feel like I don't know you anymore. Why don't you just go drink some PBR while you're at it?
I have a pipe too...That reminds me, I think I ought to break out a cigar or pipe tonight with some scotch. I have a nice meerschaum pipe.
Cheers ZB!My recent infatuation with Hendrick's gin has sort of diverted my attention.
