I need Whiskey help please. Top 5 whiskeys.

Basil Hayden's or Bookers has to be on the list IMO.

[centrarchidae]

Bourbon or "American": Stranahan's, Basil Hayden's Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve (Yes, I like Stranahan's, god help me)

Rye: Ri1 (Yes, it's made by the Jim Beam people. But it's good enough that you wouldn't know it)

Irish: Bushmill's, Tullamore Dew.

Scotch: I don't know scotches that well.

Cigars: If these aren't semi-regular smokers, then I'd go mild: Macanudo with Connecticut wrappers (everybody knows Macanudo) or Rocky Patel Edge Lite or RP Connecticut 1999 or Oliva Connecticut reserve (which I like a hell of a lot better than the first two).

Ashton Classic and Ashton Cabinet are also good for milder smokes, but a lot more spendy.

If you want something a little stronger, I've been on a CAO Brasilia and Man-o-War kick lately.

I'd skip the cigar stores and go straight to online: http://www.cigarbid.com or http://www.cigarauctioneer.com, which are the auction sites owned by http://www.cigarinternational.com and http://www.famous-smoke.com. They've both sucked an unholy amount out of my wallet over the years.

I think we're getting close to 70 people that have rsvp'd.

I think 20 cigars will be enough, and hope I don't have 20 cigars going at once.

We rented a house. I don't know where exactly.

Strip clubs will have more if you need them....oh wait, you said cigars. Strip clubs will have those too (and almost every hotel there).

Go with backwoods cigars. Clint Eastwood style.

So, I've got the Stranahan's and a bottle of Templeton Rye. I have to say that I like the Templeton Rye a lot better than the Stranahan's. Thanks Hobowh.
