Got some work to do...I'll be back for some more of your awesome wit in a bit! 

I like that.  I may have to go register, WitInABit.com.  I'll have it up and running by 2020.

I'm gonna cybersquat all over that.  Remember when that was a 'thing'?

Still is...greedy fuggers! 
Joe, smoked that Heisenberg you sent me last night, good stick.  Not sure on the price point, but enjoyed the flavors.  Had it after a RyJ EL(non-cuban), that sucked, bland, muted, might as well been a Gurk(no offense Flip), but i'm glad that one's out of my humidor!

I don't think that was me.  But if was, glad you're enjoying it!  I kinda like them.  Not enough to buy when I'm done with however many I have left, but they're good.

Well schitt, maybe it wasn't...thought it came with the barrage of coronas(not beer) you sent me.  Ohh well, good stick either way...not a need more, but a good stick when smoked!

Mark - speaking of 'new' distilleries, I finally got around to trying something from Balcones the other day, the Baby Blue.  Pretty good!  I definitely want to try their True Blue cask strength.

I'm a fan of the Brimstone.  Eveything in their line is on the pricey side, though.

High expenses, I guess.  I was wondering if it was something that's cheaper there than everywhere else... forget the price tag on the Baby Blue. $50ish?  Give or take $5.  Brimstone was definitely more expensive.  $60 is a LOT for American whiskey.  It's a lot for any whiskey, but you can many great bourbons/ryes for less than $30.  Heck, less than $20 in a lot of cases.

Give us you TOP 5 bourbons for under $20... GO!

Evan Williams White label (100 proof, Bottled in Bond)... Old Fitzgerald (100 proof, Bottled in Bond)... Very Old Barton (100 proof, BiB)... Wild Turkey 101... Four Roses (Yellow Label).  Do not confuse any of these with their lower proof 'relatives'.  WT101 far superior to WT 81, EWW far superior to the cheaper black label, etc.

Honorable mentions:

Heaven Hill BiB
Old Grand Dad BiB
Larceny

Damn, now I need to make a run to the liquor store..

The first three I listed are under $15.

So far I can't locate any of the first three in Washington.  Still looking, though.

Yeah, some may be available only in certain regions.  EWW was only released nationally early this year, give it time.  The rest I can get at BevMo or order online.  You should definitely be able to get the WT101, Larceny, and Four Roses there, though.

Of course, with your crazy taxes on booze up there you won't walk outta the store with ANY booze for under $20.

That's the fucking truth.  WT101 is $21.99 at BevMo.  Add the taxes and surcharges, it's $29.33.

That's still cheaper than a run to California, even on the Harley.

I really enjoyed the Heisenbergs.  Only ever smoked the pyramid shaped one.  Might have a 5er left, I'll have to dig it out.

I remember tale of it but not sure that was really a thing.  An former friend of mine who was in the music business had a site called ListenUp.com; where he interviewed music bands and such.  He was threatened by 7Up and had to give up the name and got nothing for it.  And this was at least 12 years ago.

There are definitely companies that do nothing but sell domain names they've registered.  Tried to get something for a client once.  Taken, but could submit an inquiry because it was 'for sale'.  They came at us with an offer of $20,000!!!  We were thinking it'd maybe be worth it at $100.  We just slightly changed it, wasn't that big a deal to begin with.

Mmmmmm, Obsidian Tins for $24.99... I thought it said, "Olsen Twins..!"

Can't say I'm particularly excited about the cigar itself but I like that companies have started to release smaller cigars in the past 6-12 or so.  Ortega Minis, La Bomba Sake Bomb, various Room 101s in their papi chulo sizes... Papas Fritas...

You like Papas Fritas?

That's crazy!!!!!  Think WT101 is $18.99 at BevMo right now.  Out the door $20.65.  Smaller liquor stores and even grocery stores often carry it for a dollar or so less.

Got one in the humidor that Ken sent me.  I have yet to try it. Guess I should make that a priority.

I am on a big beer kick right now, hate ND for it's beer importing restrictions...ugh.  Too many bottles lying around not being consumed of hard liquor

It's a solid stick, love Quesada stuff and this was bolder than the other Quesadas I have had(Oktoberfest)

It's okay, we get all the guns we want here, so I won't bitch much.  In another year, the Liter Fee will disappear, so that will save about $3 per fifth.
