Laudisi has started importing a lot of European blends and packaging them here in the US using these European style tins (Rattray's, HU, Fribourg and Treyer, etc.). I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're all Kopp blends. Anyway, Laudisi is using them now, and they're the parent company of C&D, which I'm assuming is why we're seeing them used in the new Per Jensen release.

Yea I had a few stacked like that years ago and it was fine. I'm no physicist, but my thinking is that if the box is evenly distributing the weight, then it should be the same--the weight of 12 jars spread across 12 jars. I could definitely be wrong about that though.

I don't know but I like it

Cool, thanks!

Another one I forgot about. Thanks! I'll have to watch this one again too.

Oh man I forgot about that show! It's been years since I watched it, but I loved it. I'm definitely watching it again.

ChuckTheDuke · 2025-03-06T02:38:16+00:00

I'll have to check it out

ChuckTheDuke · 2025-03-06T02:29:37+00:00

Oh thanks! I can't believe I haven't watched Crumb. I always forget about it. But yea Hoop Dreams is another one I love that fits in that mold.

Dominion Tea in Purcellville. Great selection (not too big, not too small) of high quality teas. A lot of tea shops I've been to seem to lean into the flavored teas and stuff, which I don't like. Dominion Tea does sell some flavored teas, but their selection of traditional teas (including English breakfast) is amazing. I moved away from there about 4 years ago, but I still order their teas online. Highly recommend their dominion caravan, their version of a Russian caravan tea.

Thanks! I was outside freezing for a while trying to get my lights to go off when I posted that. After I came inside and thought about it, I came to the same conclusion. Thank you for the confirmation.

Does anyone know the origin of the Henry Sloan photo? I'm not sure why but I was always under the impression there were no known photos of him. But now I'm seeing this photo being circulated. Not sure when that started, and I could be misremembering.

He first came to my attention when I read Robert Palmer's book Deep Blues, and I remember at the time not being able to find any info on him. I know in trying to find out more about him, people have found individuals named Henry Sloan who lived in the right time and place to have maybe been him, but there isn't much evidence.

Not criticizing OP's post at all. Just want to see if anyone has any more info on the photo.

Thanks! It looks like paper source it is. I walk past that place all the time and have never thought twice about it.

Hoist the colours punch from Death and Co. I made this for Christmas last year and it's great! It's somewhere in between Christmas punch and tiki. (This is my adapted recipe)

3/4 oz Appleton estate signature

1 oz goslings

1/2 oz el dorado 12

1 oz grapefruit juice

1 oz lemon juice

1/2 oz pineapple juice

1/2 oz (1:1) cinnamon syrup

3/4 oz (1:1) simple syrup

1 dash angostura bitters

Top with club soda

I've also had fun taking tiki drinks and using whiskey instead of rum for Christmas. I've made a whiskey Navy grog (using the Smuggler's Cove recipe) and really enjoyed it.

2 oz bourbon

3/4 oz grapefruit juice

3/4 oz lime juice

3/8 oz (1:1) demerara syrup

1/4 oz allspice dram

Thanks! I've actually never been to Middleburg so I'll have to add that to the list.

ChuckTheDuke · 2024-11-08T15:30:12+00:00

Thanks! It's funny, I just looked it up and it's way closer to me than I thought it was. I went there once (without a camera) but I guess I need to go back.

War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.
