    Got a bottle of Eagle Rare a few months back as a gift, the 10 year not the expensive stuff, figured I'd wait until my daughters wedding in December to crack it open. Always wondered what a Pappy Van Winkle tasted like but I'll have to wait until someone else spends the $3000 for a bottle of it.

    Pappy is nice. It's stronger proof.

    Eagle Rare is really nice for the price.

    Pappy really isn't better than others but now costs a small fortune because of their limited production. I had a bottle about 20 years ago back when it was still around $250 ish a bottle and you could order directly from the company. Once the cigar / bourbon craze took off a lot of the higher end brands skyrocketed. Around the same time I bought Pappy I also bought Paradis for roughly the same price. Now Paradis is even over $1,000. Not worth it at all.

    They opened up a distillery right in the woods behind my old house in Hernando, it is actually in the middle of the Chassahowitza Wildlife Management area. They grow their own rye and sugar cane and use rain water. I haven't gotten a chance to get by there yet but my friend said it's pretty good.

    They also make rum there.

    @Brook! And all. Not sure how you feel about Jameson as I've always been eh on it. But the Black Barrel edition is as smooth as it comes. I generally switch things up often and went with a Woodford Reserve a couple weekends again. Tried the Jameson Black Barrel and doubled down on it again along with the Jameson Cold Brew coffee version which is eh.

    Highly recommend the BB though.

    Jack the Ripper, Red Congolese, Durban Poison, Moby Dick

    A few of the strains that don't give mad munchies and in some cases suppress appetite. Then again they are Sativa strains so they provide a lift and encourage creativity. They won't mimic the mind-numbing fail factory that is alcohol.

    Clean assholes? If you use Charmin beyond emergency situations you're doing it wrong anyways.

    I’m quite sure this is 100% accurate.

    My problem with all this great new weed is the potency. One hit of the gange now and I can barely hold a conversation for about an hour. Throw in a couple of IPAs on a hot day as a force multiplier and Dierking is a slobbering idiot.

    I really need bud-lite.

    I took a mammoth toke of some medicinal Indica at my brother in law's after Colorado legalized and 30 minutes later I was so paranoid about him being angry at me or his wife staring at my shoes that I panic-bailed, tried to make the 4 mile trip back to my house and ended up parked in a random driveway in a random neighborhood 30 minutes away waiting for cops to drive around the corner.

    Definitely crawl before you walk.

    I don't think you were being paranoid dude. Everyone was staring, not just your brother-in-laws wife.

    Nah bruh. I'm all about New Balance ever since Matt Bonner got his shoe deal back in the day and then had a blowout in the very next game with them.
