Nice! Finally had the one I saved back the other day. Not bad at all.
It's 16°F out tonight. Cromagnon short perfecto and a Toronto. A repeat, but worth repeating. My wife would say this cocktail is black, like my soul.
4 parts rye whiskey (I used Basil Hayden's Dark Rye)
1 part Fernet Branca
1 part simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Stir or shake over ice and strain into a highball glass.

Smoked one of my own today, right out of my humidor. A My Father - Don Pepin Garcia - Orginal - Torpedo, these Cigars never disappoint. My nickname is My Father - Blue Band.
Always are well constructed, always even burn, and great even produce consistant even Ash. Flavor is complexed and consistant from box to box. I say they are Medium/Medium - Strong.
One Cigar I never get tired of because they so great IMHO.

Guys this info would've been really handy a few days ago BEFORE I placed my five pack fever order....Completely agree. One of the most overlooked brands too. The wrappers on the red labels I just got in look lovely!
As a former bartender, I feel obliged to chime in here. It wouldn't be a Toronto if you aren't using Canadian whiskey. I recommend Pendleton's. Also, I had great success omitting the simple syrup and using an apricot puree in its place. Under appreciated beverage, to be sure.It's 16°F out tonight. Cromagnon short perfecto and a Toronto.

Jeremy, I posted in the daily deals that I ordered the La Barba red and purple from Thompson for under $4 per stick.Guys this info would've been really handy a few days ago BEFORE I placed my five pack fever order....
I guess I'll just have to include some in the box split that's coming your way!
Interesting, the recipe I used specifically asked for rye. I'll try it with Canadian next time for sure. I bet you could use any kind of puree and customize it to taste. I am not much of an apricot fan, but it's worth experimenting. I have simple syrup readily available as I always keep some on hand.
But yah, Fernet Branca is pretty challenging to most people, it's bitter in the extreme. I am a big fan of cocktails that tend toward the savory so I have lots of stuff like this.

Haha, I saw that I think RIGHT after I placed my order...Jeremy, I posted in the daily deals that I ordered the La Barba red and purple from Thompson for under $4 per stick.
But NO!
You only have a few, you love them, keep them and enjoy them!
Besides, that box will be full enough, it sure as heck doesn't need anything added in it for me!
