Bacon Explosion! Started with a pack of thick cut bacon. This pack was maple flavored. Next I used a tube of Jimmy Dean spicy sausage. First you weave the bacon strips together to make a mat. Then you make a bed of sausage to go on the bacon mat. Pre-cook some pieces of bacon and crumble them...

I am passionate about coffee. I used to drink anything and everything, however my age and acidity tolerance no longer allows me to drink the quantities and style I grew up on. I searched, and wasn't able to find quite the thread that addressed my purpose in posting here: What kind of coffee do...

Hi everyone, ever struggle to figure out what to have for supper? Need an idea? I thought It would be fun to start a thread on what everyone plans to have for supper. See if we can keep it going for those who may be searching or stuck on what to have. I am a bit of a foodie (go figure on that...

I picked up a case a couple weeks ago and it fucking rocks!! If you're an IPA fan you'll love it. Very smooth front end with a little tart bite on the finish. At 7.5% it packs a wallup!! Great with a full bodied stick :smiley37:

So do any of you drink fine tequila while smokeing cigars? I use to drink jose crappo (cuervo) gold had a couple bad experences and shunned it for ever. I was then about a year ago introduced to top shelf tequila made from 100% agave. I have on my bar right know Don Julio blanco, Don Julio Anejo...

I believe I'm taking the plunge. I live in a state where you simply can't get some of the best beers. We have a 6% cap on beer, so that leaves a very weak and limited selection. There are different sites that will ship beer, but shipping prices are ridiculous. I also live in a state where...

I am on a spiritual quest to find high quality bourbons. I have tried many brands and among my favorites are Blanton's, Booker's, Woodford Reserve, and Maker's Mark (in that order). I find few things compliment a fine cigar more than a glass of straight bourbon, neat. Blanton's is the...

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has seen this on TV? I noticed that some of you guys like bbq... Its an awsome show, the only problem is whenever I watch it for some reason I crave a bbq pulled pork sandwich... http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/bbq-pitmasters/bbq-pitmasters.html

Maybe I'm nuts. Maybe I drank too much last week. But I had several shots of Russell's Reserve 6 year old rye whiskey last week, and damn, was it good. Until that point, I had always thought of Rye as a mere footnote in Don McLean and Grateful Dead songs. This rye totally changed my mind. ...

Just wondering what others prefer to drink with their cigars. Me, I love a White Russian of a Guiness.

Anyone ever done this? Dennis already gave me his tips the other day in chat, but maybe you could post again for people who weren't there? Basically, this is what I have to work with: 42 quart pot burner propane tank basket (no hanger - do I need it?) I wasn't going to inject it, instead...

This year I wanted to experiment with my a turkey and my smoker. I usually smoke pork loins and shoulders, and a few other things. I have never tried a turkey before, and I must say it is outstanding, easily the best turkey I've ever had. I'm going to wait till after Thanksgiving to try a couple...

Do anybody else use lump charcoal to grill? If so, what kind do you use, and where do you get it from? I started using "Cowboy brand" that comes from the local Lowes / Home Despite, or the local grocery store. However, before that I was looking into it, and I saw places online where you...

Who's giving up scotch over the release of the Pan Am bomber?

For you who love your morning coffee with a cigar. Try this... 2 fingers of Kahlua on the rocks with your evening cigar. I promise, you won't be dissapointed.

I'm planning a trip to Memphis and Bourbon Country this summer and I was looking for some advice on what is a must-see. As Bourbon, BBQ and cigars seem to be a natural combination I thought I'd post here for suggestions. Here's what I have so far: Sun Studios Buffalo Trace Payne's BBQ...

If any of you guys (and gals) are as fond as I am of spicy food, you may have tried your hand at growing your own peppers. I do so every year. In addition to the standard non-spicy fruits and vegetables I grow (tomatoes, green bell peppers, etc), I always have several ultra-spicy pepper plants...

Anyone have a good recipe for BBQ sauce? I want to make my own. I'd really like to find a good bbq sauce that has some kick to it.

Anyone got any good recipes? I've been to a gazillion of them, but this weekend is the first time we're flying solo on a boil. I've already done a google search, I was just looking for personal reflections or opinions.
