It's got to be heavy and loud for me. I brew when the missus is out and I have the place to myself. No neighbours and a big powerfull stereo..... The smooth classy Jazz/Fusion can wait. It's Prog or Purple or Heep or Sabbath on a brew day. Oh, and if I'm in a nostalgic mood, it's got to be Chisel or...

Apart from eating and drinking (obviously), I am a drummer, singer & guitarist (in that order). I am obsessed with all things HiFi. My current system would cost more than a new C-Class Merc to replace and has taken 10 years to accumulate. To play on it, I have over 1000 vinyl albums (and growing) an...

Any fortified with that sort of age will have a copper tinge to it. Not necessarily a tawny though. I remember having a white port from Margaret River about 30 years ago. It was a rich mouthfull once you got past the fact that it was almost clear. Only grape skin contact (during pressing) and a bit ...

Hashie, there are plenty of bargains to be had not far from you. Loads of cheap port/tokay etc from around Glenrowan and Rutherglen. Producers like Baileys, Morris and Campbells have an enviable reputation for fortifieds. Just buy their cheapest (from the winery you can buy by the litre) and by blen...

Herradura Seleccion Anejo Tequila (that's sippin' liquor) Ahhh, possibly my favourite Tequila :) I have an empty bottle at home ;) It's gorgeous. I had tried several Anejos over the years but this one struck me as "perfect" for my pallette. Luckily, I have a ready supply (although it's far from che...

The oldest one I had was a gift from a (very rich) friend. It was 50 years old Punch Double Corona Madura and had been stored in near perfect conditions. We had one each with a few shots of my Herradura Seleccion Anejo Tequila (that's sippin' liquor).It was really good but.....I really struggled to ...

Beer Do you age your cigars in your humidor before you smoke or do you smoke them soon after you purchase? I don't have anything in particular that I do just wondering how you do yours. I rarely smoke straight from the box (except for quality assurance purposes you understand). I like to let the fl...

You guys whose wives started them smokng.Did she perhaps buy you parachute lessons and up your insurance policy at the same time? :think: I think my wife was quite dissappointed when I quit smoking. :lol: I actually gave up smoking cigarettes out of respect for my wife. She didn't smoke and I was s...

I have tried some of the Arturo Fuente line and have not been dissappointed. The Cain line is very good also. I will have to look into some of the others. I am a new cigar smoker just like I still consider myself a new homebrewer. I am lucky that my wife knows me very well. She will buy a different...

Being in the states, I have never had a cuban cigar. The Cohiba Siglo IV looks like a great cigar. Oh yeah, I forgot about the embargo. Never mind, you can console yourself on some great Dominican Republic leaf or some great cigars from Nicaragua or Honduras. There are some fantastic cigars from al...

Are there any other cigar smokers on the board? Oh, most definitely ! There are very few things more enjoyable than a good Cubano. I smoke Cohiba Siglo IV most of the time but have become rather partial to a Cuaba Distinguidos of late. My humidor has about 7 different types at anyone time. I do enj...

If he's like me, he will be working shifts. Mine rotate fron 0600 starts through 1400 start time to tomorrow night when I start at 2200. This puts me, roughly, on Aussie time.

It will be interesting to hear if this is the case or if he is just "odd".
