Got a new set of whiskey glasses and some whiskey stones. I stumbled across these items recently and only know what the sales pitch said about 'em but was curious to try 'em. The glasses are designed to enhance the 'nosing' and tasting of the whiskey and the stones are intended to slightly lower the temp - not to chill your drink - to slightly smooth the edge off of the whiskey.
Can't wait to try 'em at toddy time this evening.

i've seen those stones around and always wondered about them... you'll have to let me know how they work out...
I love my set of stones, whiskey stones that is..........
Walked in from work today saw 2 boxes sitting on the table..its pretty sad when you order so much u dont even remember when/what you ordered. It was a 5pk of Carlos Torano Signatures and a Gran Habano sampler. I needed that after such a shitty day @ work.

First the ups man hit me with some sticks I ordered:
Then the mail man brought a package from jj20030, we did a 5 for 5 trade, his math is a bit off but I'll forgive him this time, he sent 5 I haven't tried so I'm excited to burn these. Thanks JJ!

Tried 'em out last night Rob, and I'm pleased, so far. Of course, a comparison can't be made until I try the glasses without the stones. I plan to do that tonight.
The glasses, brim-full, only hold 7 ounces. Info that came with the stones says to put only one stone in the glass and barely cover it with booze. Well, with 2 stones, the glass holds 6 ounces to the brim. I put 2 stones and 4 ounces of Bourbon in it and it seemed to work quite well. A couple of those before dinner and all was well with the world.
I'll let you know what I learn after tonight's tasting.
Well I actually got it yesterday just didn't have time to post.

nice! I got a bunch of those. I bought the 2007 box with 30 -10 of each size back in 2007. I got 4 more back in 2008 I think and then 2 more a few weeks ago. They age really well. Let me know what you think of them. I wonder if they were rolled when mine were or are a new batch. Did you see the new God of Fire coming out? No details yet except name and maduro wrapper.

Box is dated May 2010 so just over a year on them....Not seen anything on new GOF....
I too received a box of 10 of the MOW Puro Authenticos...Tim hooked me up with a sweet deal on his email special! It killed me to put 'em to rest-any feedback on how they are ROTT? I'm on vacation starting Friday and really want to burn at least one....
