    Jason, what a cool guy. He comes across really well on camera. He knows his stuff and is easy to listen to. I think he needs his own UA-cam channel.Could be like a mirror to what you guys do in the vault but for coffee. If you've ever shopped for coffee on Amazon, there are hundreds of brands. He could help us weed out the good and bad in coffee land.Yes he needs his own channel. P.S French press works the best for me.

    This was a pretty cool cross-over type format. There are so many things outside of whiskey and wine that paying attention to the fine details applies to. Chocolate... there are so many places with unique chocolate, cocoa plantations and methods. It would fit right in on an episode like this.

    I remember the first time I had a Isla scotch. I took a sniff, took a sip and was like "Where had this flavor been all my life? How did I know this even existed?" A good Ardbeg is one of my favorites.

      My experience with the smokey, peaty scotch is that the first sip is really interesting and by the end of the glass, I feel saturated and don't need any more of that. A simple solution is smaller pours.

      Same for me! Was the thing that got me into whisky overall. Non-peated whiskies just tasted like alcohol, but the peat was strong enough to overpower the alcohol and I loved it!

      The first time I smelled peated whiskey, it reminded me of old school band aids and mercurochrome and iodine. My first sip turned my stomach and I still tasted it when I woke up the next morning.
      Eventually, I found the flavors of smoked meat or ham and sea salt. Now, I can sip and enjoy a glass of peated scotch. But it is still hard to get past the band aids and iodine!

    You joke about hotdog snobs, but as someone who has family and friends from Chicago as well as lived near Chicago, I can assure you that hotdog snobs are very common in Chicago. They make really fancy loaded hotdogs there, and all of the flavors in ketchup (tomato, vinegar, and sweetness) are in a traditional Chicago hotdog. It's almost seen as asking for ketchup at a fancy restaurant, but the culture over time developed to all hot dogs to many Chicago residents. Some stores even have signs saying that only minors are allowed purchase hotdogs with ketchup.

    You guys touched on something that ive noticed. Some whiskeys are thin, others are more full bodied. ( I come from the beer drinking mindset). I never thought much about it until i learned how it was made- distilled to a high concentration, then brought down.
    Now that youve pointed that out, i can't not notice it, lol. Wow, they really watered this down, didnt they? We wont even get into the whiskey flavored vodka er, i mean blended whiskey. Or as i call it, colored paint stripper...
    So i appreciate it more, when i do taste a full bodied whiskey.

    Just tried Lagavulin 16 for the first time today - 10/03/2023 - So, on the smell I get the smoke and a little cigar ash. It reminds me of when I was a little kid and I went to the stock car races with my parents. I wanted to say tar or rubber....but it was actually the tire smoke when a Nascar did one of those peel-outs. For some reason I was also smelling a honey...but it was somewhere between a honeysuckle and a thin dripping honey. In California, there are a lot of beaches...but this was more like the ocean hitting the rocks up north in San Francisco or somewhere along the Pacific Coast Highway. There also a fizz like a pepsi or coke. I don't drink sodas, so not sure what they taste like, but I smell that. ------- To me, the flavor dances on my tongue. It's rich, it's very light. There's a campfire kinda thing going on.

    I prefer a super dark roast coffee. I did serve five years in the Navy and we would have a BUNN percolator in the engine room just constantly running, just add some more water now and then to keep it from boiling dry. Laphroaig is so peaty it's not even palatable without a healthy amount of ice and water.

  • @DM-kv9kj
    @DM-kv9kj Рік тому +5

    Just to open the snobbery discussion more in it's complexities, I've been a lover of good cigars for decades now and I actually never really find people who are just plain "snobs" about a particular kind of cigar, for example. I actually find FAR more often that there are now droves of people who have watched some youtube cigar reviews and then trample around constantly preaching about things like THESE kind of cigar are overrated and you need to stop being a snob and enjoy the kind of cigars I like instead. It's very very odd. For the past 5 or 6 years now I have rarely enjoyed just going to my local cigar lounge and quietly savouring the cigars I enjoy. There is literally ALWAYS at least one person there who starts questioning what I'm smoking and telling me I need to try other kinds and how the ones I enjoy are overrated etc etc. They always seem to be far more absorbed in either blowing endless opinions at people or watching things on their phones, barely paying any real attention to their cigar. To me they often seem as if cigars to them are more of a fashion and personality statement, when to me they are something really delicious that I love to just sit and focus on and savour.
    The internet culture of cigar reviewers now seems to have worked up a whole new generation of "anti cigar snobs" (who are now in fact just the snobs from the opposite end of the spectrum) who can't stop trying to preach. This is a new phenomenon and every time they say the same things, which are soundbites and opinions I have seen being pushed hard on the internet over the last decade. I almost always discover that they have never themselves tried even half the cigars I have, nor do they have any clue usually how to select your cigars to pretty much guarantee good ones (it just takes a lot of time and experience), yet they have huge opinions on it all based on things other people have told them to think. The simple fact is, also, that 9 out of 10 of these people who start telling me I need to try more stuff have been smoking for at least 10 to 15 years less than I have and I have even worked in the industry. I have tried everything multiple times and always continue to try new things hoping to find new favourites in any style. But ultimately, I like certain kinds of cigar and find a lot of others unbalanced, harsh and lacking nuance. I always just politely try to steer the conversation away to something more chill because it quickly becomes obvious they are just fishing for people to give opinions to, like it makes them cool or something and desperate for approval and everyone agreeing with these opinions they've picked up. I never try to tell people about my much greater experience in the cigar world than they have, nor try to argue back or shout them down or tell them they're wrong. Never does it even cross my mind that they are wrong to like what they like, enjoy what you enjoy and I love variety more than anything. I also understand the enormous value in learning how to select cigars in person, in an age where hand made cigars have been massively over-produced to meet corporate global demands and quality consistency has therefore greatly suffered. It doesn't matter to me how many boxes or batches of a given vitola are riddled with poor construction or bad blend issues etc, I know what to look for and so almost always find the ones that are well rolled, rich, nuanced and delicious. If you can't be bothered to learn about things properly and just want quick, blind mail order and perfect consistency with fine handmade cigars, then you're in the wrong hobby. Anyway, people like that really have started to put me off going to enjoy cigars at lounges now...well, that and the bizarrely extortionate prices since covid.
    I think that while actual snobbery isannoying, there is a far more prevalent problem now with self-styled anti-snobs who in fact have very little experience in something but have been on the internet watching and reading far too many opinionated videos and blogs and, frankly, sometimes plain business propaganda disguised as reviews and articles. I wouldn't mind if they didn't ALWAYS insist on poking their nose into "What you smoking...?" - "Really? But they're overrated and over priced. You should try these instead...!" while all I want is to enjoy my cigar and happily chat with whoever about something other than their opinions on what I enjoy. I don't like to even politely discuss it with them anymore, because any time I offer them my views and experiences in return (like that personally I find the cigars they are smoking very unbalanced in the blend, overly harsh and spicy and the flavours too dark and bitter for my taste) they get really annoyed and defensive...when I am happy for them to enjoy those cigars, because everyone liking the same things would be boring and people should have different kinds of taste and perception. Sorry for the long rant, but this is a problem I notice more and more in modern society now and hardly ever talk about it.

    • @michaelhall5429
      @michaelhall5429 Рік тому

      It probably comes down to how people feel about a thing given how large the group that enjoys that thing is.
      Everyone likes coffee, so a lower frequency of people have strong opinions about it. Like pop music.
      Some people like whiskey, so there's a much higher chance that the people you meet will have a strong opinion about it. Like 80's sophista-pop music.
      Cigars are the afro-jazz fusion hyperpop of epicurean pleasures. Anyone who is into it is into it for very specific reasons and they have stayed into it because they are very passionate and focused people.

    • @samgould8567
      @samgould8567 Рік тому

      I’ve been drinking whiskey for a long time now, have been blessed with genes and income to enjoy a wide spectrum across price points, and can safely say that there is not much correlation between price and enjoyment as many people think. Obviously there are broad “tiers” but within those tiers the price difference really doesn’t matter, and the weight of a higher price can sometimes dampen the experience of a superior whiskey. Unfortunately, there are still people out there (mostly people who have just started drinking whiskey) who see a lack of authoritativeness as a sign of inexperience, when the opposite can be true. Broad questions like “what’s a good whiskey” are going to get broad answers. All of this is fodder for the anti-snobbery movement, but that can give newbies the wrong idea, as well.
