Love Fuente cigars. Hemingway short stories for a quickie. I think current Opus X cigars are not close to what they used to be when they first came out back in the mid 90's. They used to be power houses....loved the old ones.

Booze:

Sipping Vodka - ZYR

Irish Whiskey - Jameson blenders dog, Green Spot and Red Breast

Scotch - I used to get Johnnie Walker Blue for free since I worked for Diageo, so I liked it for a blended scotch. I wouldn't buy it if I had to pay for it though...plenty other great stuff out there for a fraction of the price. I was allocated $1200 per quarter to buy their booze. I retired over 8 years ago, I still have so much sitting around.

Speaking of Diageo, we had a bar on the top floor of our building...It was modeled after the Guinness bar in Dublin, also owned by Diageo. Free drinking anytime. You can drink during business hours. It was bizarre to say the least. That said, you could not work there if you ever had a DWI or DUI. You would be let go if you ever had a drinking related incident.

Their scotch whiskey lineup was quite extensive - Johnnie Walker, Buchanan's, Cardhu, Justerini & Brooks, Bell's, Black & White, White Horse, Logan, Caol Ila, Vat 69, Oban, Talisker, Lagavulin, Glenkinchie, Dalwhinnie, Cragganmore, Clynelish, The Singleton (Glen Ord, Dufftown, Glendullan), Dimple, Royal Lochnagar, Glen Elgin, Knockando, Windsor, Grand Old Parr, Auchroisk, Benrinnes, Blair Athol, Dailuaine, Glenlossie, Glen Spey, Inchgower, Linkwood, Mannochmore, Mortlach, Strathmill, Teaninich.

Steaks - Filet Mignon & Delmonico
