Brandy and Cigars: The GC off-topic thread

I can't smoke cigars, I inhale and vom
not as cool as it sounds
Don't inhale. Easier said then done especially for anyone who has smoked before. Cigars are not about the nicoetne(sp?) hit but about the flavours and how they change over the length of the cigar. Smoke goes in the mouth only. However, secondary smoke is an issue. In any smokey athmoshere you are going to end up with lung's full. You pays yer money, you takes yer chance...:)I've had one or two, i feel stupid though as it's more for mature gentlemen and not the likes of me.
As for smoking cigars being an old mans (Yeah I know you said mature but I HEARD 'Old'
) thing well thats just balderdash. It's like saying only old men can appricate a good wine, or only old people like cheese. Cigars can be learnt and enjoyed by anyone who has a palate for the flavours. I'm older than Minecraft goats.

someone once told me that you know you are getting middle aged when you start talking about coffee the way you used to talk about drugs.
I'm really getting into my coffee now, I'm not quite up to the tea & coffee forum yet, but I'm finding my way around the various blends and types. I couldn't drink instant now, and I've stopped taking milk and sugar. Another thing to blow money on but I'm enjoying it 0 -

Can the title of this thread be changed--Im off the smokes a week now and every time I read the thread list its making me want one and its usually cigars I use to get over the cravings.
Leave the Brandy bit though--Or change it to JD?
I've changed it for a week till you're over the worst - after that, you're on your own! 0 -

Jebus. I've entered middle age early.I'm really getting into my coffee now, I'm not quite up to the tea & coffee forum yet, but I'm finding my way around the various blends and types. I couldn't drink instant now, and I've stopped taking milk and sugar. Another thing to blow money on but I'm enjoying it
The tea and coffee forum is a great place. Some of the lads there have a savage knowledge of coffee and they're more than willing to share. If you don't want to venture in there, I'll say only two things to you:
1) Get yourself a burr grinder
2) Get yourself some Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira.
I'm a cafetierre / french press man myself and a good burr grinder and some of that stuff freshly ground will *blow* *you* *away*.0 -

I appreciate nice cigars but the image of a youngish guy with a cigar in his mouth, im sure i looked like an eejit. Even reading about it now makes me hunger for one
For anyone who is into their coffee hit up coffee angel, they've a few stalls around the IFSC. I recommend the guy in front of the PWC building, sound guy and a great barista0 -

Everyone over to old goats for a session :pac:
if you keep making such good posts Will we may have to think up a title for you.Cotys the Thracian goddess just PM'ed. I'm busy tonight.
Now we can do this one of two ways........ we can come over and take the pics ourselves orrrrr you can take them and then post them. Either way we all know what comes next if the pictures don't appear0 -

I was at AC/DC in april and caught myself drinking a latte and eating a bacon and brie sandwich while watching the band. As in, the band AC/DC. What's THAT about!? when did I turn into that guy?
That is all kinds of awesome.I know a gang of about 10 blokes that were at the concert.These are some of the fattest,hairest bikers you could ever meet.
The thoughts of them eating a bacon and brie washed down by a nice foamy latte is very much inducing the lulz.0 -

I smelt caffeine...1) Get yourself a burr grinder
2) Get yourself some Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira.
I'm a cafetierre / french press man myself and a good burr grinder and some of that stuff freshly ground will *blow* *you* *away*.
Just to add to that, while any espresso machine is a fantastic addition to your kitchen, buy a Moka pot. Seriously. Great coffee, and a brilliant start to your morning.
And to prove the point, here's my weekends shopping
That's a damn fine moka pot...0 -

I've been meaning to pass comment on your avatar image Dord. A friend, double bass player and bass singer, has it tattooed at the base of his thumb and curling around the back of his hand so that it shows best when he's playing. Always been impressed by his minimist choice of image yet so indicitave of his passions.
Very cool! I'm a bassist so that's why I stuck it up there. My username is a bit of an indication too... its bass "as gaeilge" 
I don't play DB though... maybe in a few years when I have a more suitable place for one and the money too. :pac:
I have an idea for a bass clef tattoo but not sure if I'll ever get round to getting it done.0
