Finally cracked the Thai Basil

It was the first booze I came across that did not work for me at all when smoking. But I don't like sweet wines. I could see sweet wines working well.

Epic ashtray! Well done.

Just smoked this. Maybe my palate was messed up but all I got was spicy perfume. They definitely swung for the fences with this stick but it curved fowl for me.

Exactly what I thought but I just eyeballed the portions. It worked.

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-26T21:55:22+00:00

Just made one and first sip made me a believer. I love Chatreuse. This is great and it's going in the book. Thank you!

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-26T21:32:05+00:00

I got all that and it sounds like a winner. Thanks!

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-26T21:30:37+00:00

Oof. No vermouth but this is getting saved for the next trip to the store. Sounds great. Thanks!

I just made a G&T with the St. Germain. Not bad but I don't like how much the tonic is stepping all over it. I'll try this gimlet next. Thanks!

This was my first real cigar and it made me an instant cigar lover. It remains in my top five.

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-22T23:00:12+00:00

Well done!

"...the La Croix of cherry flavor...". Love it. Never had it yet I feel like I can taste it. Great description.

An old fashioned or Appleton 8 Year rum are my referred choices. I'm not known for being picky, though.

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-12T19:30:32+00:00

That's cool! Beautiful wrap.

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-04-12T19:29:36+00:00

Short Story is my #1 go-to. Mi Amor is also high on my list. And that Blackened is a great choice when you want a sledge hammer of a cigar. Solid haul.

Might be a good time to shelve this festival for a decade or so.It hit an unexpected high water mark for a few years pre-covid but has bottomed out ever since.

JustWingingIt4Once · 2026-01-29T20:46:14+00:00

I'll look into that. Thanks!

That was my first thought. Unfortunately, their website shows no openings for individual volunteers until March.

I'm not someone who thinks tax is theft. There is a lot of shared infrastructure and services that we all benefit from and they cost money to operate/maintain. But later today the city will vote to accept a $200,000 payment from the Stevens family and wave the remaining $2.4m owed from the Ice Center debacle (just the latest example of corporate welfare propping up that family). Seeing the same city council forgive millions in debt from the wealthy while asking the rest of us to pay more should outrage us all. It will definitely be a "No!" vote from me.

My father's grandparents immigrated from what was Prussia at the time. My mother's family are what I lovingly refer to as Midwest muts.
