On a recent trip to CA, my son introduced me to a healthy tumbler of Bushmill's over ice. Allow it to mellow and melt a bit of the ice and sip it slowly and reverentially.
After a decidedly nasty bought with the "demon rum" a few weeks ago, in which I entered hell and shook hands with old Beelzebub himself, I've dramatically slashed my alcohol consumption.. Where that Bushmill's might have at one time been just the evening's prelude, it is now an occasional entire evening's symphony.
I like life better like this.

Actually I prefer a good scotch or a good brandy before a whiskey or bourbon.

Is Makers really higher in your area? Here Makers is 23.99 for a fifth and Jack is usually at least 19.99, but usually 21.99.
HOWEVER, for the BIG GUY, its 49.99 for Makers and 41.99 for Jack, so then its a little worse.
I really don't enjoy straight Old No. 7, at least not when I'm totally sober, i'll do it on the rocks, but I still prefer some soda with mine. When I've already had 3 or 4 really strong whiskey drinks, then I'll usually just start drinking from the bottle. I've finished fifths of Jack many times in one sitting, and I finished a liter on a couple occasions!!! Makers Mark on the rocks though, now THAT is a drink!!!

A good scotch or cognac. Straight.

Any cigars you guys suggest for the "beginner"??? I've always felt that a nice cigar would really complete things, but I'm totally uneducated on those.

Cognac, straight, pure, undiluted.
Jack Daniels (We Tennesseeans know our whiskey).

I'm also new to the area of cigars, what with being in a mind control cult and all.
They really do complete the experience though.
