Punch 48 (Cuba)

Beautiful day for a walk and smoke here in the mid-Atlantic.

Punch 48 ( March 2024 box date). Classic Cuban flavor, this one shows hints of sweet leather, marzipan, deep toast, and aging tobacco. Draw is slightly form, but produces decent smoke.

This one is a keeper.

Cephalopod lovers, meet a squid that’s as cute as its name: the dumpling squid (Euprymna tasmanica)! This ambush predator inhabits shallow waters off the coast of southern Australia where it munches on the likes of shrimp and small fish.

Following up from the other day, figure I should post my haul as well. Hunting was fantastic in KY.

Highly recommend the bottle your own tour at #Michter’s if you can snag a spot.

I was in Kentucky last week picking a barrel with #BMoreWhiskeyGroup. We are super pleased with the #GreenRiver bourbon we picked. It’s gonna be a crowd pleaser.

Barrel should be bottled in this spring. Looking forward to an official review of it.

Oof! That was a rough game for my #Chiefs. Between an O Line that was gettin bullied up and down the field to Mahomes playing the worst game of his professional career to the play calling by Reid. Nothing went our way last night.

Looking forward to the Super Bowl! Go Chiefs!

This. 100% this.
Someone seriously needs to explain to me why the “NFL is favoring the Chiefs” or even sillier “fixing games for the Chiefs”. Don’t they understand that the NFL would prefer a BIG MEDIA MARKET TEAM in the Super Bowl???more eyes=more $$.

Enjoyed a #whiskey pairing dinner last night at #Cushwa&RadPies. We had a #Sazerac rep on hand to walk us through the #BuffaloTrace pairings.

Would recommend. The food and beer were excellent, and Cushwa Brewing has a great event room. I’ll be back.
