    "Top 50 roundtable: Too low, snubbed, underclassmen soon to crash"
    ByCHRIS HUMMER 22 hours ago
     
    PLAYERS RANKED TOO LOW
    No. 35 Brock Purdy, QB, Iowa State
    “This guy brings a high football IQ at the most important position on the field to go along with big-game experience and excellent athleticism tailor-made for today's game. I expect improved consistency and top 20 production from Purdy this season as the Cyclones challenge for a trip to the Big 12 Championship game.” – Josh Pate, National Analyst
     
    It's a sure bet when isu has a chance to be really good, we won't have a season

    Here’s some nostalgia for y’all 
     
    Some good times in that, I could go for a lot more of them
  3. My thought process on that is that with the high price point on Cigar Blend they probably don’t order too many at a time. 
    It may just be a distribution thing. I’ve seen Cigar Blend all over Florida for whatever reason.  I wish our stores here focused on procuring better options than most of the local Texas shit they shill on us. 
    Yeah it's not sitting on shelves where I am either but like you said also not the most rare thing in the world. Worst they can say is no.
  4. Does anyone know if Total Wine will order a specific bottle of bourbon for you if you request one?  I’ve been looking for Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend and it shows they carry it at my store in SA, but it’s out of stock.
    Just curious if anyone has done this before. 
    I've got a bunch of requests for them to put in...

    (no idea for a real answer)

  5. new acquisitions over the past week or so (the front 5).  i'm way out of room and can't drink fast enough (i only drink 2-3 days a week, but baseball is here).  have never tried any of these, so we'll see.  obviously i got into the makers already, very nice.

    a couple of these were k&l store picks, and that's where my hookup is.  he sent me the a.d. laws, which i had never heard of.  this will also be the first old forester i've had that isn't 1910, which@huge turned me onto.  hard to go wrong for $29.
    and i saw uncle nearest is available at my grocery store (ordered groceries for the weekend yesterday).  maybe i'll give it a try.
    Very nice pickups, my bourbon buying outpaced my actual drinking years ago.
  6.  
    See that's what I heard.  I also tried to trade it for any Birthday to no avail.  This damn thing is an albatross
    Well the birthday market has lost its damn mind. That shit jumped up hundreds of dollars in a few weeks, insanity.
  7. I have the Nasa Boone 14 pick.  I never opened it since I was looking to sell it (Paid $190).
    Now I think I should open it if YOU PEOPLE say that's the best shit out there.
    12 year BC picks are generally better than the 14 year picks from all I've tasted. The 14 year picks were the barrels not getting chosen until they were last standing. I had 2 of the party source 14 year picks but sold the second. They are still good, just not earth shattering by any means and not worth the secondary cost imo. 12 > 14
  8. Jim Beam stubbornly pushes the boiled peanuts stuff on everybody while they can make masterpieces in Knob Creek SiB store picks, Knob Creek 25, Little Book Chapter 3, and Booker's Kentucky Chew. Bring back Distiller's Cut and make white and black label Jim Beam. I'm drawing the line in the sand with Old Tub. That's it. If it's not good, I'm done with any label with Jim Beam on it. 
    Here's to hoping my man, I would love another daily drinker at 20 bucks
  9. The new Jim Beam Single Barrel should be pretty similar and it was awful. I finished a pour and put on the cocktail shelf. But sure, there's an off chance I catch a good one and enjoy it.
    It's pretty rare anyone comes out with a new bourbon priced like that so I give props for that alone.
  10. There's a limited release out "nationwide". A 750 mL for $20 - 23. It'll probably be a Beam Peanut Bomb, but worth the risk at that price. 
    Allegedly it was Booker Noe's daily drinker. 
    I have friends that picked up a bunch at 19.99 right when it hit shelves last month, they've all pretty much said it's terrible though and flipped or tried to flip the rest haha. Totally agree it's worth a gamble at 20 bucks though and I'm sure I will too
  11. Fucking Kroger.   Jealous as hell you can get bourbon at the damn grocery store.
    Oh don't you worry, in Kentucky it's a separate building from where the groceries are. Across the river it's smack in the middle of the actual grocery store including a bar in most Krogers though, much more convenient.
  12. Took my Scout back in a fit on panic and was surprised to find a B sitting on the shelf, so I traded that in and took a flyer in the BH 10YO Rye. Their stuff is generally too sweet for me, but I love an aged Rye so why not...

    Let me know how the bh rye is, all over shelves but not sure I want to drop 75 bucks on it
  13. Fucking A, Pork Belly rings a bell. I knew Darrell and Joel from Es Tas pretty well. We absolutely have crossed paths. I’m originally from the Osage area.

    Maybe this will seal it: I was one of the owners of the Pancho Villa tail gate van. We would drive it around campus on Fridays before home games blasting through fight song horn like the drunk shit heads we were
    Lulz yeah for sure we drank together with that tidbit, pork belly was from ne ia if you didn't catch the edit. We can probably stop fucking up the thread now but small world.

    I recognize those names.

    Yeah, my buddies and I hung at People’s, Lumpy’s, Chasers, that place on Lincoln (Capone’s?), and Es Tas.

    I lived out at Sterling for a couple years after I left Larch, and then at the corner of Hyland and Lincoln during the 07-08 school year. I took a year off and mowed lawns around central Iowa before starting law school at Drake in ‘08. Al is my actual (shortened) first name.

    Capones was it. No clue how I forgot es tas, the old version and later on when they moved. Crazy enough I only went to lumpys a few times.

    I definitely went to parties at your place im guessing. You might know/remember pork belly then (from ne ia and worked at es tas)? We have definitely crossed many paths if we don't know each other.
