Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky in a GoedeWaagen. I'm quite the fan of this stuff. It has a thick mellow sweetness with a light smokey peppery undertone.

Time Warner News that comes out of Syracuse pronounces Syracuse 'Sarah'-cuse. Drives me nuts. I'm waiting for the phonetic misspelling, "Amyrican".
Smoking Pete's giant San Jacopo full of RY with some fresh coffee. Almost golfable late today, but I don't like the wind forecast. Possibly a long walk with Lady Ennerdale.
Currently making falafel. I'm starving due to not having dinner last night due to having gone to a turkey party - which is apparently a regional thing - and drinking too much.
For those who don't know: turkey parties are giant raffles, and sort of like bingo for people who don't like bingo. Yes, you can win a turkey, which is why they all happen before Thanksgiving. Typically they are run by and benefit local organizations, so band/sports boosters from the local high schools, police, churches, etc. You can not only "play the tickets" (pull tab lotto) during these events, but they have 50/50s, Chinese auctions (although I've never seen a Chinese person being auctioned...), doorprizes, grand prizes (which are usually in the form of either a big cash win in the thousands of dollars OR a giveaway of a bunch of rifles and shotguns), and then raffles all night for various items that range from turkeys to steak platters to spa packages, movie tickets, bikes, electronics, grills, lots of hunting equipment, bags of groceries, or even toys for kids (I suppose this came about due to the proximity to Christmas), etc. etc. etc.
My wife has a bit of a gambling problem and she's insanely lucky, so she loves the stupid things. I personally don't care for them but the beer is free so I go.
Anyway, my wife won some gift cards and cash last night but I walked away with the bigger prize: a frozen turkey, a four foot long stick of pepperoni, $20 in cash, and a 32" TV - all from the same ticket! I'm the talk of the town, sadly.
Once this falafel is finished I'm headed out for some Capstan or FVF or Hamborger Veermaster. Have all three ready to go but I'm currently unsure which will get burned.

Had this several months ago and didn't care for it. Put it in a jar and forgot about it. Pulled it out tonight and I enjoyed it.
For some reason, it tastes like the holidays. :pipe:
Two bowls of Pure Semois, Bavarian Cherry from a local tobacconist and SG Black Cherry Twist. I enjoyed all except for the Black Cherry Twist. It had a bit of a "soapy" taste that faded in and out....

My guess is that the blender was trying to make a light English blend, and accidentally dumped Lane 1Q in instead of Virginia.Quote:
