Just a little impromptu get together with two friends. Haven't had a big wine night a few weeks.

1970 Palmer
1980 Grahams Vintage Port
1962 Grahams Malvedos Vintage Port
All wines showed spectacular with the '35 Taylor being one of the highest rated ports I have had to date, along with being probably the best port I have had this year. Each wine/port could've been an event on its own, but for 3 people, we had a good evening! Of course we finished them all...
As for cigars, we started out with Montecristo A's from '02 in the coffin. One of the best A's I've had in a while. Next was Sir Winston's, followed by RJ Short Churchill's. Must say, the Short Churchill is quite a cigar! Really does taste like the full sized Churchill in a friendlier format.

My friend that hosted, made a pulled pork on his Weber "bullet". Oddly enough, the pulled pork and ribs put a bigger hurting on them than the booze and cigars. Usually, I am the first one to throw in the towel, but I was pro last night. They crashed out around 11:30... My girlfriend and dog came by around 8:00 to enjoy the BBQ. My dog was quite attentive in the kitchen, lol...
I was expecting a past midnight event at a minimum, not being in bed shortly after midnight with so much booze already consumed. I feel winded from the cigars more than hung over. Over 20" of cigar each is no easy task either.
