The old man in me

I like scotch.  I like cigars.  I like to go to bed when the sun sets and wake up during the sunrise (though my young part of me doesn't always permit).  I play chess.  I play pool.  I find women beautiful. Perhaps I was an old man in a past life.  I dunno.

I have recently discovered how inexpensive Scotch in England is compared to other countries.  This has started a tasters journey inside many dark scrummy old pubs.  Here is my top five list:

1. Laphroaig - My all time favorite, it's like drinking a succulent sententious  perfume
2. Ardbeg
3. Talisker
4. Lagavulin
5. Highland Park

As for good cigars to pair with Scotch  I would suggest a nice Monte Cristo or my sweet little Al Capone Cigarillos.

Nothing beats these two things sitting on a leather couch in front of the fire place.  Or for me outside on a plastic chair under the yard light.
