As mentioned in yesterday’s post, September is National Bourbon Heritage Month, which means we’re dedicating our September posts to that lovely native spirit of bourbon.

For our first review we’re featuring the Don Tomas Clasico Allegro Tube. It’s an affordable cigar that is well known for a smooth burn and rich taste without breaking the bank.
If dessert isn’t your bag for Halloween, there are plenty of other cocktails out there for you to make. This one packs a punch, and can be brutal the next day if you let them get out of hand. 2 oz bourbon (We used Bowman Brothers Virginia Straight Bourbon) 2 oz Tatratea Original (Black Tea […]
