Thanks for the tip Charles.
I like gin...it doesnt like me the next day though. Good deal or not...it
makes me pay one way or both.

Haddo's in a Stanwell HCA V. This is the weed for this pipe. "Fancy Coke"
on the side. (fancy = scotch)

With the pipe snob post (don't know about cherry blend, but I do like half
and half in a cob) and the musical closet post (I grew up in the 80s
also...still like Twisted Sister videos) I thought I would share something
that I just discovered. This may well kill the gin snobs of the group (if
there are any) but I have discovered a cheap gin that I really like. My
favorite "premium" gins are Tanquerey for gin and tonic and Plymouth for a
martini (that would be the cocktail with gin and vermouth and a dash of
orange bitters). Now I have discovered a very nice inexpensive gin for
gin and tonics: Burnett's. Supposedly, the botanicals are distilled with
the spirit just like high priced gins rather than just adding flavors at
the end. While I cannot verify that, it does go well with a splash of
tonic and a slice of lime. My prefered gin and tonic has about 2 parts
gin to 3 parts tonic and sometimes I will even drink them 50/50.

There you have it. I have found a cheap gin that I like. Is cherry blend
far behind? Oh the shame.

I've got an Irish friend and he tells me that in Ireland gin is
considered a whores drink,well that's what his father told him when he
was growing up.So don't go in an Irish Pub and order gin and wonder why
they are snickering at you.You've been warned.
