Bourbon Review: Yellow Bird Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey

As a proud Tennessee brand, they honor the history while paying just tribute to our feathered […]

Bourbon Review: Blue Note Juke Joint Whiskey Uncut

According to the website, “In June of 2019, the rickhouse that stored much of Blue Note’s inventory collapsed in a terrible summer storm, spilling thousands of barrels and millions of dollars into the muck and mud. Most of the barrels were destroyed by the incredible force of nearly 10 million pounds crumbling six stories to the ground. We thought all was lost, but a special few somehow survived the disaster. Surviving the collapse, however, turned […]

October 16, 2022

It all started in 1998 when I walked into a cigar shop for the first time in Brooklyn, NY. A desire to try something new led to life long friendships and a career in the cigar industry. I served as a shop manager, blogger, shop owner, writer, marketing coordinator, sales and was an award winning podcaster. After 25 years, I decided it was time to leave the cigar industry and I now work as a dispatcher for EMS, Fire & Police. Cigars are still as a passion of mine as is bourbon so I continue the legacy with this website.... Cheers & Long Ashes!
