Cracked open a magnum of Bullit Bourbon from Costco this weekend. They have Hakushu and Yoichi down here right now. In NoCal they have Yamazaki. fucking nutso. anyone have experience with Oban? Thinking about getting some. I got fucking hammered. Went day drinking at the beach...really great. 75 degrees, TONS of hot bitches, it was unreal, almost summer like. Basically drank from 3 until midnight in Venice and Manhattan Beach.
Love me some Yamazaki. Heading down through Napa and then on to San Diego in a few weeks. I'll definitely be swinging through Costcos for my annual spirits stock up. Oban 14 is pretty solid stuff, by the way. I'm a fan, though I don't drink a ton of Scotch. Tried the Oban 21, and it was like the first time I heard the Beatles, except way more kick-ass.
I actually prefer wine. Mostly because I get it for free or at ridiculous prices. And it doesn't make me act a fool.
I dunno. They're pretty annoying though. I had a helper this year at work and he would be sucking away at that thing all day.
There are some great ones out there (there are a few here who can tell you about the options - there was a thread on a few back in the day). Some super-stealthy ones with very little smell during use, no smell while chilling in your pocket either, and you don't have to smoke it all at once. Check out the Pax - my friend up in Seattle introduced me to it.
Shit, FAMS. Next time you up, I'll teach you all that. 5 bottles of wine, minimum retail $250, you cost free.
