    I'll concur with Mr. Williams, re Old Forester 1910 Old Fine, but the OF 1920 Prohibition Style is my go to when burning bold Nicaraguan puros, (La Aromas, AB Black Markets or Coyol, RP Spec. Rsv. Sun Grown Maduro or the special occasional "wiseman" usually on my patio and with a smooth playlist and great company.

    A close second, IMnotsoHO, is Stellum Bourbon...also almost always neat, depending on the New Orleans heat index.

    To all, "Smoke 'em in good health."
