Makiri Extra Dry

7/10

I definitely is extra dry which I enjoy. It's got a little bit of a floral note coming through at the end. There's a little bit of the bitterness on the tongue as you hold it in your mouth.…

Pretty much taste like your average blue cheese. Maybe a little bit smoother a little bit milder with not quite as much as that sharp flavor that you get from a lot of blue cheese, but it d…

Interesting, tastes like a standard beer kind of reminds me of something like a Heineken. It's pretty refreshing, it has the slightest amount of bitterness. Not too much though. I'm going t…

Absinthe

This is probably the single most harsh alcoholic beverage I've ever had in my life. It's almost interesting to get just because it's so ridiculous and probably some of the drinking gasoline…

Depson's Mallort Liqueur

4/10

I was expecting something way worse than this, so the fact that it's not even the worst liqueur I've ever had is saying something. There's definitely some absent this out there that I've ha…

Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka

3/10

I love tonka but I can't smell much of it in this cologne. I find the scent to be more on the unpleasant side, and the projection doesn't seem that great.

Dior Homme Intense

6/10

It has a very powerful vanilla smell right at the beginning. There's also a very powdery smell coming off in the background. 30 minutes in and the smell is definitely fading, I would say it…

Very nice, a sweet and floury taste. It also comes in a beautiful cobalt blue bottle which is the best color. Not bad at all. Definitely good for the price. Got it at whole foods. I think i…

Trappistes Rochefort 10 Belgian Ale

4/10

This isn't bad, I found the Belgian ales for me. Run anywhere from tolerable to the worst kind of beer I've ever had. This one's on the tolerable side. I think the best I would ever give a…

Initio Wild Rush

6/10

Has a fresh smell. It kind of reminds me of Cool Water. There is a kind of a business vibe to it. 420 price point so it needs to be extraordinary for me to make a purchase. An hour and a ha…

The draw is mediocre. Smoke production's okay, getting some dark, dark bitter flavors right off the bat. I'm a big fan of those dark bitter flavors. I'm getting a little bit of a leather an…

Good draw. Good smoke production. Good cigar construction. Very nice flavor profile. Kind of gives me a baked bread flavor with a little bit of sweetness. Not too much though. Maybe a littl…

I got this from Bloomies at the mall. I believe it was around 30 bucks. It's very good. You don't have to use too much of it, so you save a lot of money because even if it's twice as expens…
