This is your fault
 

OK, I'm not usually one to blame anybody for my actions as I feel people should take a bit more responsibility for their own deeds, but this time I can think of nothing else to do.

The purpose for drinking beer, wine, Scotch, etc... isn't to get drunk, at least not in my book. Except for water, each beverage which passes my lips does so because I enjoy the flavor.

Rum to me, was always something that I enjoyed mixed with Coca-cola or in a daquiri. At least until I met up with a couple brothers from Cigar Asylum at a herf and I there had my first taste of a fine sipping rum. Then, someone else from this board sent me my own bottle of such a beverage. This intrigued me to read a bit more in the rum thread.

Someone else posted a thread about "the cigar drink," and that too was enticing.

You need something to sip on when enjoying a fine cigar, and I had previously thought that my ales, porters, stouts, etc... was enough. Grape products (wine, Cognac, Armagnac) were also good partners to a fine smoke. Single Malt Scotches also seemed a nice pairing.

Of course, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and other beverages seem to be paired with my cigars, but it is rum which brought me to this point.

Now, I must admit that the sipping rums seem to surpass them all with their fitting flavors to accompany a cigar. Maybe it is the fact that they were reared in the same area and paired for more years than the others - they grew up together, so to speak.

But, I was fine as I enjoyed the pairing of cigars with the beverages I had always enjoyed. I knew not what I was missing. It was blissful ignorance that allowed me to continue in this way for so many years.

So, this is y'all's fault. Not mine!

Re: This is your fault
 

I, too, feel your pain. Rum is probably my favorite...

You will love both the Zaya and the Ron Zacapa... I am not familiar with the FERNET BRANCA BITTER you ordered. Do tell?! :ss

Re: This is your fault
 

:rI thought there was a problem even re-read?:r Only problem I could find was you have to wait for shipping when you could have been sipping!!!:tu

Re: This is your fault
 

Congratulations, you just found a new slope :)

If you like the flavors of the Zaya and Zacapa, you'll have to try Diplomatico and Ron Centenario, and then if you decide they're a little too sweet, try Ron Pampero and Vizcaya, and then if you want something a little lighter in style... you can see where this is going :al

What is it with a certain breed of men who do not seem to be sympathetic at all to my pain.

Joe, there is a thread that was linked to the Frenet Branca Bitter.

Re: This is your fault
 

I'm on the slope, you don't need to push. :mad:

Re: This is your fault
 

Well, the last two nights found me doing some sampling. I am not sure I am a fan of the FERNET BRANCA BITTER and coke.

Last night I had a glass of the Ron Zacapa. I have already had the Zaya, and know I like that. But, I must say that I may like the Pyrat XO better than the others.

(TFPIC) Thanks for the new slope you rum buggers.

This should be the prayer we all say before visiting any sites mentioned here.:D

Re: This is your fault
 

Glad your enjoying the Rums. Now it's your fault, I read your update and had break out the Ron zacapa last night. But it was chilly and I was smoking a cuesta rey sungrown churchhill so I had to have a few extra drinks to compensate for the cold and longer smoke. 5am came real early!

Re: This is your fault
 

Can I get an Amen?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaamen!!!

Re: This is your fault
 

Oh, and that's my fault?

Didn't take much of a nudge to get you to fall off that edge, did you?

OK, ;s

Re: This is your fault
 

You need to place another order for this one, so all is not lost. :)

Re: This is your fault
 

I crumble like a house of cards to this kind of peer pressure!!!! Actually I look foward to the nudge gives me an excuse!!!!

Re: This is your fault
 

Thanks for the nudge - but I know have a few to finish before I will even consider more. And, the way I drink? It should be a few months at least. That is, unless I share.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I think I am going to take a couple anejos out to the ice shanty on Monday - one for the glass and one for the blazer. He who has ears let him understand.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
