    Are Cigars Less Damaging Than Cigarettes?

    They are, all bad, but you typically don't hear of cigar smokers dying from lung cancer or heart disease. This is a case of picking the least harmful poison if you choose to smoke, or can't quit for whatever reason. However, I don't think anything is bad...except for maybe cigarettes,,if done in...

    Jack Daniels; The Most Representative Bourbon?

    I think it didn't get to be popular worldwide for nothing. I think JD as it is known has a smooth flavor and a lot going for it, to make people like and want it worldwide. This is just one of the brands that is probably recognized and popular world wide. I would feel comfortable serving this...

    What Is Your Regular Drink?

    I like beer, but I don't drink it on a regular basis. I do have some now, because they were on sale. I usually buy whatever I can get the best value on when it comes to alcoholic beverages. There are some good values to be had on these beverages.

    What Type Of Glass?

    yes, I use the proverbial lowball glass too usually. I have lots of shot glasses around here, but I generally just use those to measure whiskey. I Don't drink out of them since I am usually adding something to my whiskey. This is one of the reasons I like to use a glass.

    Polish Brewing Company

    Yeah, I can't see this ever being a big hit, other than on college campuses maybe. It is just too weird. Just the idea is kind of gross. I wonder what the name of it would be...hmmm. Odd things to think of, proving again, truth is stranger than fiction!

    Do You Get Influenced By Alcohol Related Commercials?

    I don't remember the Zima commercials, but I will take your word for it.:p I would guess that some of them exist on youtube, so if you ever feel like you want to watch one, you can find one! I bet you will look them up today! Zima is a weird beverage. It is kind of like an alcoholic version of...

    Ambassador Program

    I know Michael Symon from the Food Network. From time to time you see ads on Craigslist or various places looking for ambassadors to promote their products. I don't think it is always whisky unfortunately, I think it can be for other products as well. I sometimes do mystery shops in restaurants...

    Your Kind Of Bar Service

    I used to live in Erie, my home town. There is a Mannechor club there as well. Erie is chock full of those kinds of clubs. In fact we had my dad's 75th at one. It is kind of nice because alot of the people know each other and participate with each other in golf, dance, civic activities or...

    Cubans Coming And What To Smoke ...

    Yes, I am going to check in a local tobacco shop and see if they have any information on Cubans coming. I think that you might have the best luck finding them in a store that sells higher end products though. That would be my guess anyway. However, I think you are right, and they will come down...

    Pipes?

    I thnk a pipe is kind of for show. Premium pipe tobbacco is much different from the run of the mill packaged stuff that is available in most stores. There is a store about an hour away that features the premium stuff, and it was always fun to go there and smell the tobacco and to watch it being...

    Does Anyone Know What Country Is Ranked As Having The Best Whiskey In The World?

    Let's hear it for Canada! Have you tried the Crown Royal Northern Harvest Sue? It sounds like one that would be worth having. I wonder if our local ABC store could order it even? I think Crown Royal products are quite good anyway.

    How Is Beer Made?

    A wort? Hmm, I don't think I ever heard that term before. All things considered, it is probably easier to make wine than beer. I have seen recipes online where all you need is like a cheesecloth, juice and so forth. Some kind of starter maybe. I have never tried to do it, but I bet it would...

    Last Whisky

    Yes, I think Johnny Walker has a good reputation in the whisky world. I might not be able to buy a full bottle of it, but I will see if there are any minatures available. Maybe I could enjoy it that way.

    Best House Drink You've Had At A Bar?

    yes 15 dollars for a cocktail is pretty steep. I don't usually pay more than 7 or 8 for one. If they are more than that, I drink something else. Most of them you could make at home for less for sure.

    The 4th

    I used to always see my family over the 4th, but this year, I will be dog sitting starting on the 6th, so the out of town thing probably isn't going to be happening. I think that visit will be something that takes place later in the summer.

    Light Beer Or Dark Beer What Is Your Preference?

    As for me, I am kind of an amber beer drinker. I usually drink light beer because dark beers are kind of hard to come by in these parts. There is a brand or two sold locally, but by far most of the beer is light. Yes, one of the other joys of living in a rural area. Anyway, what about you? What...

    Kid-friendly Seattle Breweries

    Well, Busch Gardens theme parks usually have breweries on the premises. YOu used to be able to tour those, but the last time I was there they opted to have some kind of beer tasting going on. This was similar to a wine tasting except with beer as the star. It was interesting.
