well done... for years I stayed away from Bowmore... had a few drams here and there... had a glass of the Black Bowmore which was incredible, but outside of that, not really a fan.
then recently I paired a glass with a CoLa, and then a Maduro 5 Magicos... worked very well! One of the more balanced Islays out there, with a subtle sweetness.
Had a HDM petite robusto paired with a tumbler of Arran pre-lunch. Followed lunch with a Para Japon and a few cold Shiner Blacks. Both sticks were good, but I think they could use a rest.
My first cigar of the day is a Graycliff Cigars Double Espresso Lancero... Great start to the day, but the blend may be a bit strong for the vitola...so far, I like the Espresso Lancero better...
