I'd be more specific about the brands...but, you know, see the bottle of Oban I guess.
Good topic - I was thinking we need a chill thread today!
Edit to add a noob question: when you say 1959...like it's been in a humidor since '59?

Hey Craig,
To answer your last question, I misspelled the type of Cigar:
Torano Exodus 1959 '50 Years' - Cigars International
I enjoyed one of them from a sampler collection and they hooked me....GREAT TASTE!!
Regarding Bourbon / Scotch and Single Malts, I have been through the list from stupid cheap to stupid expensive and have attended dozens of tastings over the years. My current tastes dictate $25 for a fifth of Bourbon, $40 for a fifth of Scotch (the beautiful wifey still demands JW Blue Label).
A couple of decades back while Bear Hunting with my partners in Alaska (True Story) we were short of money in a bar and heard a good scotch could carry us much longer than beers would. We ordered GlenFiddich and made them stretch 2 hours.
Since then things have gotten better but I threaten to punch either of them directly in the plums if they get off on an arrogant ass peat discussion regarding Scotch.........,,,,,
