Everyone loves a waster stream becomes free energy story. This is a good one. Researchers at the Distance University of Madrid have uncovered an innovative way to harness the energy of waste air currents. Plus they tell us how to do what they did. Very nice. While discussing this we smoke the Rocky Patel LB1 Toro and drink the Benchmark Full Proof boubon.

(00:00):
Okay, welcome to our newest episode in this episode. We have the Rocky Patel
(00:04):
LB1 and with it benchmark full proof
You're hanging out with Bill and Daryl with cigars liquor and more
Alright, well the Rocky Patel LB1 this particular one is the Toro. It's a six by 52
(00:27):
Has a lahiro from
Zamanastra Valley of Honduras fillers from a Conega and Esteli
Nicaraguan Ecuadorian Connecticut Habano rapper MSRP of $9
And with it we have the benchmark full proof. So this is a sort of a budget line of buffalo trace
(00:50):
This is bottled at 125 it's full proof. So that's the barrel entry point
And so that's what they bottle at at 125
And the SRP is $22
22 for a hundred and 25 proof bomb. That's yeah, that's expensive when it comes benchmark
It is that's that's the high end bench
(01:12):
That's that's what three times they're almost three times their base model close. Yeah, I think eight is there
No, it can't be eight still I bet it went up because everything's gone up. Yeah, even this one this used to be 19
It's probably 10. Yeah, it's probably then doesn't matter almost all the benchmarks and there's at least five of them that I can think of
Fall between 10 and 24 dollars. So there's just no you can't yeah paying too much for benchmark
(01:39):
And we've had them on the show before and of course we've had them on the porch
we I think
We've had every benchmark this may be
The last one we didn't have we may have forgotten the full proof and had the the cast strength before you've been on the show
Yeah, yeah, well, we've had at least three other benchmarks on the show. I'm not sure about four
(02:05):
Anyway, either way and don't get me wrong the benchmarks mostly tastes the same
Not a lot different
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah comes down mostly to proof
Did you go through and bold these things? No, it came that way came that way. That's excellent. Okay. All right, so um
(02:29):
You know what? What are you doing really nice and quick?
Oh, you want to go to the nose first? I'll do the liquor first
So this is I actually all the benchmark line is a really sweet bourbon
And then and then they are and even at 125 it still comes off sweeter than hot
I mean
(02:50):
No, go wrong. It comes off a little bit. It does it does come off hot
It will surprise your palate when you first sip it
Uh, but i'm telling you the the 125 you will
You know by your fifth sip your you're done you're over with the the shock of
of the 125
and you guys
(03:12):
If you want like dara was saying at the beginning if you want a budget
uh, buffalo trace
Go with the benchmark, which is going to be more important now because I think buffalo trace is going to
Have a lot of delayed shipments after their flood
And a lot of delayed everything because no, no, no, no, no, the the flood was just
(03:35):
Yeah, and slayer building and yet and yet there was no delivery on thursday
There wasn't no
So it it that well firstly if it just hit offices, who do you think organizes deliveries?
So even if it didn't hurt any rick houses or anything like that, right? I understand it did hit some of the
the the custom customer center the way you call visitor center
(03:59):
but
the offices
Coordinate
So yeah, I expect some delayed in shipments and deliveries and so expected to get a little sparse on the shelves
Although there's a lot more of it delivered in america now that it's not being used in canada
um
We I don't think we've talked about the flood on the show you want to you want to say just a touch more about that
(04:26):
Tight tied together for the list. We had a flood come through kentucky
And this was the second highest the waters gotten in a hundred years
Or 200 years. I don't remember a long time long time and it damaged some of the buildings on their main campus
And that would be like I said part of that included the visitor center. So a lot of tours have been interrupted
(04:47):
Um, and who knows nobody nobody was hurt
Yeah, I yeah everything's okay. They didn't say anything about the rick houses
And we did a tour there not that long ago
And
It's not a lot of topography there. So
I would have thought once it came up you get a lot of damage, but I mean maybe they're all right. I don't know
(05:10):
I think the damage was from the sidewall collapsing. Okay
That where the river goes through
I think the damage came from the sidewall collapsing and those buildings being and not so much
High level flooding right just just a wash not actual flooding. Yeah, watch out. Thank you
That is what the the news article kind of sounded like so it could be just that but
(05:33):
Yeah, don't expect your buffalo trace to be delivered on times for a couple weeks at least I imagine right?
Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm surprised there's really inter
Any interruption at all, but if I hit the visitor center then it's probably close to a
Probably close to a main road and they want to make sure that roads say yeah before
Transporting really heavy liquid across
(05:57):
But benchmark ancient age still available
I forgot about ancient age and I have some on my shelf
How could I forget about that you put it on the bottom?
No, it's not at the bottom. It's with the rest of the bourbon. Well, I don't know where you put it. I was just guessing
I
Said out of mine. I don't do top chef lower shelf. I do these are bourbon's. These are whiskies. These are scotches. These are
(06:25):
This is joyous. You mean both of these are scotches
I've got four. Thank you very much
One cognac
That's not a scotch
It's not a scotch, but I only have
Notches in a cognac that you have high
I have four scotches. You actually have one cognac
(06:46):
You really don't like scotches though, so
I'm not
I'm gonna I'm gonna ride you're you're not surprised. I get that you're not sprung
but
Uh, you did say you like that one cognac that I have very much so well, but I like cognacs
Yeah, I don't know how much care for cognacs
(07:07):
I think my problem is I like almost everything
So can't argue
Back to the original idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, it comes off a little hot initially after five sips
Yeah, you're gonna be acclimated. It is very sweet. It's a little corny
It's uh, but I like I like this level of corny and it's very sweet
(07:30):
So it's plenty of vanilla it's almost like all they did
Was just pour the barrel over a filter to get rid of the chunks
That it tastes like that it tastes like it just came from a barrel and
I'd be okay if there were some little little
Charcoal chunks
(07:52):
No flavor christmas man flavor christmas
Yeah, I love it. You know we we go on a tour and you know
They they put the plunger down in the barrel and you get some chunks in your glass. I have absolutely no problem. Yeah, they apologize
Oh, I'm sorry, you know, it's not filtered. We're obviously just pulling it with the whiskey thief and you're like, it's fine. No, I'll just not drink those
(08:15):
I can filter my own
They basically sit at the bottom of the glass. I don't see why there's a problem. Yeah, exactly
Anyway
And anyway, um
Oh, there is a joy and juliet a lot
I do really do this
Solution because they roll the barrel around in order to be able to bake an accessible for us
Right so they're floating in the solution, but as soon as they put it in your glass they sink. Yeah, so
(08:41):
Yeah, I've got absolutely no problems with this
But I really like the uh, I've become a fan of the the benchmarks so have I so I didn't take long
I
It's my opinion that the benchmark is probably the most
Underappreciated
It liquor on that aisle on any aisle it is
(09:02):
I can't I'm not going to make that proclamation because there might be something that's more underappreciated
But this one has to be
Very close to the most underappreciated it has to be
And because it's great liquor and that that and that benchmark eight
Hmm. Yes my favorite one is arguably one of the best of them all it is the
(09:26):
The cast strength
I really like that cast drink
But I mean
Come on. Come on. What is the cast as the cast
No, cast not 114 is it? No, it can't be
Oh, it was it doesn't matter. Frick. I don't know. I don't know
So we don't have tech sports. So yeah later. It's fine. So
(09:48):
You just can't beat this bottle as an everyday drinker for a cost-minded purchase. It's just
It's a great bottle. I don't know why it doesn't fly off the shelf. Hell taken somewhere shared with people
It's my dad good of a bottle. I did that
And y'all about not you all
I mean, nobody wasn't you was stunned. Yes
(10:10):
Yeah, they were shy you you you walk in you tell them i'm gonna have you trying eight dollar bottle of liquor
They all go oh
And it's a screw cap and it's crooked and they are like oh and then they do it. They taste it. They're like
Wow. Yeah
I mean, you just don't realize
Yeah, it is a bunch of hardened
Drinking smoking
(10:31):
Fools were like, you know what that surprised the hell out of me. That was really good
And it at least two of them. I don't know where I'm dead but at least two people bought bottles
It's good enough to label is a buy this it is it is okay buy it before the price goes up because eventually it will
(10:53):
now
Where I was going with it it tastes like they just pulled it out of the cast is I do get
Uh an okey flavor out of it. That's what that's where i'm going. That's where i'm going with that. I
I enjoy it. I really enjoy when the when when the oak comes across. Okay
(11:15):
Yeah, you get two camps there some people complain. Oh, it's okey. It's over oaked, you know, I don't like I don't get that
If people hate it so much, how can we get double oed?
So many places are doing double oed. Yeah, I don't know man
I'll tell you
Clearly you need to go you need to back up on your whiskey drinking and start up
(11:37):
I again though, I may not be the best metric because I like so many things
I'm like
We're you know people out. Where do you fall in that? I'm like, I like both
I give it's okey. I like if it's not okey. I don't know different flavors. What's your favorite one the one I have my hand right now
It does tend to be my favorite place
(12:00):
I also tends to be one of my favorite sticks too
Ah you want to go to the stick?
Yeah, let's go to the stick. Well, the cold draw
Was really earthy. I was like, oh bill and I did one. Yep, and it was
Yeah
Don't expect it. I'm just telling you now. I did have to bag them to do. Don't expect it
(12:22):
so
so
Again lit. Yeah, really earthy
Um, there's a background. It's doesn't to me. It doesn't come across as earthy is what the cold draw did
Cool. Cool. Cold draw kind of you know hinted that it was going to be a deep dark
Or I'll give you that and it's not that it's not that this is this is I think it's an even mix
(12:47):
Of wood and earth because there's a really strong wood component too. Yeah, so but it's nice
It's real nice. And it's again. This is not one of the aromatic was not like a cedar or something that this is like your basic
I don't want to say pine, but oak oak. Yeah, which is complementary to the bottle. We're drinking
I mean, I guess
(13:10):
You could view it that way. I think we complimented the bottle enough before it got there
Yeah, we did that we did if it was a I would it be all happy with us
So forward flavors wood and earth other thoughts
I mean there you could say that you know
On the finish there's a little bit of a slight pepper component to it. Oh, but really
(13:37):
I mean, it's really just earth and wood. Yeah, it doesn't come off. I don't like catching the pepper
I do in the retrohale
There's some pepper in the retrohale
You reminded me when you said pepper so I was like, oh, I haven't done a retro. I did one there it is
yeah, it's um
It's kind of a rough retro
(13:58):
but you know
Just adds that pepper
I'm checking out drink draw draw drink
Really, they just kind of stay out of each other's way for me
I'm not I'm not getting a I'm not both drink drawings raw drink. Yeah, I'm not getting a
Benefit either way. I'm not getting a detriment either way
I would say that the uh
(14:19):
The dry drink makes the corn more corny
But apart from that they started each other's way to me that all the draw drink does is make the finish of the cigar go away faster
Okay
That that's really all it does for me
Not not a terrible thing
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do I also like the band
(14:43):
Yeah, the I mean this is we haven't done a band analysis in a while. This this is this is a big stick right six inches
so
They've got some real estate to deal with but even if you had a even if you had a toro this size band would be just fine
No, this is technically this is a toro. Oh, this is a toro. Yeah
(15:04):
Robusto only goes up to like five and a half or something. Okay, robusto then. No, no
It's a toro because it's six a robusto smaller. Okay shorter
Fine emit my statement
Even if they even if they did a robusto. Yeah, this size band will be just fine. Yeah, yeah
But this is arguably one of the more elegant
(15:28):
Rocky bands
For rocky bands
Okay, exclude the 60 because the 60s rather elegant the six I said one of I did not say the okay
Sorry
But yeah, I do I do like the look I am all the white. It's got a gold. Oh, that's nice. It is nice
Yeah, the good the gold on the white it's it's it
(15:52):
Shows up it's just it pops and it's got these little elements on it looks like kind of you know
1800s drawing of a
Remind you of 1800. Yes, it does
That's I like I like the other thing that reminds me of 1800s because they added hand rolled on there
So it says hand rolled cigar and I'm like
(16:14):
I
I always think that's kind of a dumb thing to add to a cigar because it's like
I don't know
any
premium cigars hand rolled and if you're buying
A cigar that's not machine made you know it's a hand rolled cigar
because you went out of you
(16:36):
Intentionally bought it
Right, otherwise you would have just bought the schwisher or the I don't know what's Dutch brothers or whatever no not touch bro. What's the bros
It doesn't matter
So to me when you write a hand rolled on it's sort of like the the you know the the liquor bottle writing you know real alcohol
Yeah, I I bet it's real alcohol, you know
(16:59):
You know so that one seems weird, but that's what makes it feel more old-timey too because you would have put that on there in the
100s. Yep. I'm gonna say this
I'm just gonna put it out there
They say hand rolled
Hand rolled cigar still use some machines yet
It is it is
(17:20):
hand
Operated mmm. It's not machine operate. It is hand operated, but it is
It's a tool there is a tool. Yeah that they're not
Physically
Bunching up the the filler binder rolling them like they're not hand rolling it like you did a joint in the college, right?
(17:43):
Exactly. They're taking bunches. We're just the example. I guess is from predominant, right? Yeah
They have an interesting that has like a flexible
Band not banned a flexible table. It's like a cloth not cloth the leather table or something. Yeah, it's leather or um
(18:07):
Yeah, it's got some wheels that roll it over to itself once you place the
Binder and the fillers in place. Yeah, you you roughly put put everything together
You set it down in this and then you just push them to the the lever forward about it's not really a lever
It's yeah, you're you're pushing the the bottom end of it towards the top and then you're all these things have names
(18:32):
I know they do
And we don't know when you when you get it then when it's done. It's
rolled its mm-hmm
It's rolled everything onto itself and now you've got a binder
A leaf with filler inside of it intensive. Oh very very
And you know they do they do roll it and make sure that it you know came out okay and and now the the wrapper the wrapper is completely
(18:59):
100 hand. Yeah, and that's probably what they really mean when they say hand work
I bet it is. This is the wrap up. I bet it is either way. It doesn't matter
That it makes me feel like it's more 1800s too to say hand rolled on it because I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, it's hand rolled to earth
This is a beautiful beautiful colored leaf dark dark brown. I think it'd be called
(19:21):
Colorado
Where do you think it's darker than colorado might be a little darker in colorado?
Oh, you got the color indicator right behind you. So can you actually hold it up against
Yeah, it looks like a colorado. Brilliant. Yeah, good job
(19:42):
Good job. Haha. Yeah, I'd say it's colorado. Um, let's just Connecticut hibano
But I get you know colorado color
Anyway
It is a beautiful wrapper and it is a very cool band. I like the band
And they're they're they're
No really void spots when you when you roll it around on your fingers. It's it's very well done
(20:06):
Yes, it's got what I call that right level of medium pressure, right when you pinch it
It's like it's there and it's it's not hard. It's not soft. It's scaldy laks
Goodly laks
Right
Yeah, we haven't done so much construction lately, have we? We haven't really been talking about construction too much
(20:28):
We probably should get back to it. Just like people know we probably should
I
Mean these are all these are all things that I I look at
and feel
As I'm smoking a cigar even if I'm just sitting on a porch
Right not doing a show. It's all things that I think about
Oh, yeah. Yeah, same thing. I think about it, but I don't I guess I don't always voice it and I we need to
(20:54):
It's literally all we have on these mics
And
It is cigars and liquor. Mm-hmm
So the more comes after
All right. Well with that do we do we want to take a little break? Yeah, let's take a little break
I've been talking so much. I'm not even in the
(21:16):
I'm not anywhere near halfway either. We've been talking and yeah, how far along yeah, oh not far
Oh, yeah, you are much further. No further new
All right, we'll be right back

(22:04):
All right, we are back with old fashions in hand. Oh, yes, we are
Let's see how this guy goes. I let you know. I like the high proofs of going to old fashions
Mmm, it's candy. It's candy though
I like the aroma
Yeah, there actually there is an orangey
Tinge to it
(22:26):
And there's a little touch of an orange and a taste but yeah, it's mostly just candy open. Yeah, I could drink them all night
But I wouldn't calm special
There you go. Hmm
At 22 dollars. This is a bottle that should go in an old fashioned not something that's 70 or 80 right
I
but
(22:48):
I think it depends upon what camp you come come from
right because
if you come from the camp of
I don't want to take my good sip and liquor right and put it in a mixed drink. Yes
But if you're from the camp of crap in crap out
Then you want good stuff to go into it your old fashioned right so I think it really depends upon what camp you come from
(23:11):
I heard that camp. I love blends. This is my favorite. So why wouldn't I make my old fashioned with it too?
Okay, I
Yeah, but I'm not really a mixed drink kind of guy. Hmm
so
I used to be with rum
(23:32):
Back in the day. Mm-hmm. All righty now anymore
All right
Lovely unfortunate is merely a candielfish
You know they can't all be gold. Mm-hmm
Because then nothing would be gold
(23:54):
Yeah
All righty
It is often a standard mint point discussion
Like you said you're only buying an inch in yeah, I'm not that far in
I just I mean by the time this show ends. I'll be about to midpoint right it does seem like it
So he's been a real slow smoker for you
(24:18):
Is it because they're talking if you think it's a slow smoker
a
Little bit of both I think but I have been doing more talking normal
But at the same time I'm not that far ahead of you
I mean you're a good inch ahead of me. No
Yeah
Okay, three quarters of an inch
(24:41):
We can round fine here look I'll tap the ash and now it's an inch
I
Fine
I'll accept it. I
Again trying to slow down. I'm trying. Yeah, I don't know. Oh hey, so the wife we were doing
Something outside the wife
Lammed up with a bee underneath her shirt on her shoulder. Oh and stung her. Yep
(25:07):
And
She came in and and put bimitrol cream on I'm like no no no bleach
You remember each pen. Yeah discussion. Yeah, so
After learning that I haven't been stung so I had I didn't think about it right away, but I thought about it and I mean it's
She's still what we put it on anyway. Yeah, and yeah, it worked pretty good
(25:33):
Makes sense when he said it it made sense to me because most of those things
Most of these toxins and stuff like this are acids. So how do you neutralize it with a base?
So it makes sense. I but but it worked. All right good good callback. Yeah
I mean if she didn't talked about that not that long. All right, I think we mentioned it on the show
(26:00):
Uh, but I finally had the you know, did you put the bee there? No, I did
Because I would have mentioned the bleach right away. That's how you know
But I thought that was I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah, me too. I had not heard of that
I hadn't thought of it, but boom he's so right makes yeah
(26:22):
Absolutely. And if there's anybody you should listen to it somebody who does landscaping about bee sting. Oh, no correct
That is
Incredibly right. Yeah
Hmm
All right. Well this article comes to us from bill
Um
He found this I did not write that Jason
(26:43):
De Gean
Degan, sorry Jason Degan
Researchers at the distance university of Madrid. That's just a great name distance university
I
Mean I don't know have uncovered an innovative way to harness energy created by artificial air currents
Which were once considered waste the key to this discovery is vertical turbines
(27:08):
They're small powerful turbines can be installed in hvak systems capturing energy that would otherwise go unused
Turbines produce about nine lots of power before you go on so
I'm sure folks have seen the vertical wind turbines
I think the vertical wind turbines are a brilliant alternative
To your standard what you think of as a wind turbine. Mm-hmm. I think they're brilliant
(27:34):
um
I never thought about
Stick it them because think of the think of the chillers
Right that operate your heat exchangers. You mean yeah that operate big
Uh, you know that that do air conditioning. Yeah for big buildings
Those stuffs that those are kicking out
(27:55):
wind currents
Constant and a lot of heat
and a lot of heat
so
That that's a great place to capture energy it is. I like the idea
Again because one of those, you know, we didn't reinvent the wheel. We just find a new use for it. Just made it better. Yeah
I think I think it's cool
(28:17):
So they're hoping to generate more clean energy with this without extensive modifications
And the first real world application was in a data center. Does that make any more sense?
That makes a lot of sense to all that heat all those fans they have to have
So they were tested
And the single set of turbines
(28:39):
generated
468 megawatts in a year
Nice. Wow. That's not messing around. Is it
That's fabulous. Now they they gave some specifics
The turbines were paired with lebert hpm hpcm coolers, which featured ec fan fans running at 480 volts and 900 rpms
(29:03):
That's detail. I didn't expect an article like this. This is the kind of detail you should get in articles
Oh, it should especially if you want to tell somebody how you did something cool
Give me the deeds. Where's the abstract?
I read a lot of scientific papers. So I think of them as abstract. Yeah, and then I want where's the procedure section
(29:26):
Let me go down to that. Absolutely. Absolutely. I think more articles should have procedure sections. Yes
Yes
This type of information is important to be able to evaluate whether or not what you're telling me is crap or not
Okay, go ahead. Yeah, and so you know now this airflow seen as a byproduct of cooling has become a resource
(29:51):
Thank this is this is the kind of article, you know, I love to hear and see and talk about
So the jessip v7 turbines were used in the project stand out for their compact size lightweight design
Sattara
These generate
513 mega-watt watch annually with each turban contributing about 85 mega watts a year
(30:17):
And create a steady and reliable source of energy throughout the year. So you've got
You've got a giant data center burning a giant amount of energy. Yep, and but then
Regenerating x amount of energy. I love to have I would have loved to hear
what
Percentage of the consumed energy this returned, right? Oh probably half a percent at the most
(30:41):
Data centers use a boat ton of it of course
but
the the thing about this is
You did
Turn a way stream. Oh wait a minute my bad. Do you have it something productive? They do have it
They do have it but not as a percent despite the initial cost of installation
(31:05):
uh
The data center consumes
336 mega watts annually but with the addition of the turbines it now produces
467 creating a surplus to give you that back into the local power supply
Why wouldn't they just use it locally?
No, shit. Why feed it into the power supply use it
(31:29):
And then you reduce what you need from the power supply. How they produce more than they consume that sounds weird
No, they use 336
The uh
station produces
The delta between 467 and 3. Okay, so their their actual consumption is 700 or 800 in something
(31:54):
And it returns 400
That would be amazing because I was thinking it would be really small too. Oh no
No, you're right. They're saying that the the wind turbines produce 467 mega watts
But the data center only uses
336
(32:15):
Data centers are free now. So they're they are
They are consuming
Everything and then returning the surplus. Okay. I think this is now
Even more amazing brilliant. Yeah more amazing
I would have thought it would just been just a tiny percentage of what they use but no, it's all of it and then some
(32:39):
So the associated cost was 111,000 pounds
With a thousand pounds of annual maintenance and by the third year which energy is
Outpaced the cost
Yes, and boasts a 50 almost 51 internal rate of return over 20 years
(33:00):
Wow
The turbines will reduce carbon emissions by about 300 tons a year
That's amazing
Because they dare not you
This is the type of point of use
Electric electricity generation that you have been talking about for quite a while
(33:22):
And that I agree with
Just you need to do how yeah
This is a company somebody found a how I
That's pretty cool, but I think that but this is
On an industrial scale this makes absolute sense on a personal scale
(33:43):
Maybe not as much need to see what happens. I don't know what the output of a vertical
Turbine is on your house. Well, think about how much wind we have in Texas
So I even thought what if you just took your standard issue muffin fan, right?
And instead of putting power in it to spin the fan
You just put the fans on your roof and pulled the power out of them
(34:07):
Now they're not actually built that way
No, but what if you had a fan built that way and they were just four inch fans that just lined the roof ridgeline of your roof
They would spin constantly here just a little bit of your generator, right?
And think about this I could do we talk about solar panels that make for
(34:30):
4,000 watts, right? You don't think we could get 4,000 watts out of those
like
1,000 four watt fans
Yeah, but I
What would it be if you had
four vertical
Turbines, mm-hmm one on each corner of your house. Mm-hmm
(34:56):
Well, I mean I could do it. I have no trees
And you have tons of wind and I tons of wind
Literally tons it would it would make tons of force
I need I need to look I need to look into that
Little shed out there to capture the energy from
(35:17):
have
usage
Oh with the heat differences you could create when you could create airflow
with like a shed that's all
You know corrugated steel, right?
Think I'll hot that thing would get inside there
That would create an upward current
big time
And if the wind we're helping that upward current to the heat you would have
(35:40):
really regular flow through that thing
Well, why don't we you why don't we
Have electric electric generation from the turbines on our roof
Yeah, the world of birds. Yeah, the world of birds that just get the heat out
Yeah, we should do all those things
It's I mean, I think there's a lot of progress to be made in what all the technology already exists
(36:04):
It comes down to the complication of bringing it into your box into your your fuse box
Because that interface is not without complication. Oh, that's a fact
that is a fact
But we should be doing more of these
As as lean manufacturing calls it small nails
(36:27):
Because you pile up enough small nails and all of a sudden tiny little nails make two boards
inseparable by the most Herculean of forces
I
Yeah, so what I need to do is
Play with such things for my shop for my barn for my yeah for my pump house
(36:51):
Yeah
Absolutely should
I was gonna put uh, I was gonna put solar for lighting in the pump house
Um
And I've thought
Lighter lighting makes imminent sense. It's readily available easy to do to yeah, and I've
I've I've also
Thought about doing
(37:13):
Solar lights in the barn, but I need a ladder tall enough to be able to get up there
And I have one now. I have a 12 foot ladder. Okay, that let's be good up high enough to where I can
Where I would put the lighting so
Um, yeah, you could put in chandeliers
Well, that way you could serve some more easily
(37:35):
That'd be that'd be the coolest
uh, we are giant shed that has
chandeliers
That'd be funny
Hey, it's a high-class shed
High class barn it is
It's uh probably
(37:56):
All right, excluding the mondo barns that my in-laws have because they're actual farmers
It is by by far the the best shed I know of
I wish I had what is it 40 by 32 40?
That one's 40 by 40 40 by 40. Yes. Yeah, 1600 square feet
(38:18):
That's that's uh 250 square feet bigger in my first house
Um, my twice your first no not twice 1.6 times your first house
No, uh 1.6 joyous first house. My first house was 22. Okay. I was thinking hers
Uh, my first apartment was
(38:41):
Okay
The first one moved into
With a family was you know kids was was right around 1100
Yeah, the first apartment
My wife rented I stayed with her
Was I think?
290
And our second one big expansion 350
(39:05):
And then we moved to texas
We actually got a two bedroom apartment even though it was just two of us
It was 600 square feet, which was unfathomably hues
That was so huge
And you said a lot of people in here and then our first house was uh, I think it was 1450
(39:26):
again
Double the size of the apartment. We will never fill this
But like I say humans are like gases people are like yeah, we fill the space given to us. Absolutely
As is obvious from my in-laws who have three gigantic stuffed bars
Yeah
(39:47):
Same thing with mine same thing with mine
Yeah, if you got it you stuff it. It's just
Unbelievable
But i've been working on clearing it out man. Don't work it on clearing it out
Oh, same thing got it. Got to start got to start parenting
I mean, we've we've kept going bigger and I'm
(40:09):
Now that we've got a plan to retire in downsides
Yeah, i'm like, okay, I got to scrape off you got to start picking and choosing
Yeah, I got to scrape off a couple thousand square feet of crap
And and it's easier to do now
That it is when you're ready to move
Right, right because I can do it piecemeal a little bit by a little bit and that stuff like that
(40:32):
But you have to have your own rule that says at the very least you have to start with
If I bring something in I got to take something out
So I did that with my closet
I won't I refuse to buy any more hangers the hangers I have all the hangers
No more buying hangers and no stuffing shirts and smashing them together
So now if I get something whether it's christmas or I buy it
(40:57):
Something has to go I have to go through and pick something to go boom. Yep
But at the same time
That's not
Making progress. That's just not getting worse
And my garage
And doesn't gain better
Not getting worse is good
B-Star
You have to start there
(41:18):
You develop those habits. Well, thank you for making me feel better about that. Yeah
No, I'd do it right now. So this one
There's another rule bills wearing a shirt by the way. Yeah, there's there's there's another rule
Don't throw away anything clean
Oh, so so this this shirt that I'm wearing
(41:39):
So I I have I've gotten extra shirts
So now it's time to call things
So this shirt that I'm wearing at the end of the day. It goes in the trash not the laundry
Right because I've got yeah, because I've got yeah, because I've got something that needs that hanger
Okay, so I have a secondary stage
(42:01):
So I have the garage rag bin
And it's not actually any rags in there. It's all clothing. Yeah, but mine's full
Right. Well, I don't need that. So I swab stuff up and toss it
So my my isn't don't throw away things that are clean
Mine is don't throw away things that aren't full of oil or dust or grime
Because I will I will take just take a shirt and I go oh, it's time to clean the porch
(42:25):
And you just wipe off all the tables and whatever
Throw it away. That's my that's my that's my towel
And so I have a long okay. I'm doing this now. I have a long cycle of
reduce reuse recycle. So I I do the reuse on the shirts and pants and all that stuff
Up
Use something multiple
(42:48):
Everything has more than one use. Yeah
And even in Jesus super absorbent they're great for oil changes
You wear them for the oil change you take them off you wipe the oil with it and then you throw it away kind of
Just not all in your
(43:10):
In your driveway. Yeah. No, yeah, no, you probably should break up those sections
You're not stripping down in your driveway. Yeah, I'm just saying you know
Good good good tip. Yeah
Good pro tip to not be registered
Yeah
But anyway back to the turbines where do we go? I would love to have I would love to explore the option of dualments
(43:38):
I'm not all about
Having solar panels all over my roof. Yeah, I just just
One of one of the problems with solar panels is the degradation of the of the clear. Yeah. Yeah
so
I just I really have a problem with solar panels in that regard for residential
(44:02):
but
vertical turbines right because after 20 years you could just replace the motor
Yes, by the Bing you don't toss an entire panel of all this electrical gear
Yeah, and create giant electronic waste and just lose everything you could just replace the pieces like you do a regular AC unit
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea
(44:24):
And there's almost as long as it's not
Are they not noisy? That's the question. Yeah, I see that's what I don't know. Yeah
Now if
on the output of a chiller unit
You don't care because the chiller unit itself louder loud
But at home. Yeah, what is it gonna be like? What's it gonna be like at night because here are you gonna hear?
(44:50):
Mmm
Or if it starts rattling
Here when it's nighttime, it's quiet
Real quiet out here
Right so much so that if when the train goes through at 4 a.m
Which is the only noise six miles away
(45:14):
Four miles five miles five miles away
You can hear the train going through that's how quiet it is right here
So
What's it gonna do to my piece and quiet? Right it may may damage it slightly
And the ideally it wouldn't be any louder than the pool pump if it paid for my electricity
(45:35):
Oh, I tolerate a little noise. Yeah, I also might make it remote like you've got you've got a few
You got a hundred feet behind you put it out there run the lines. Oh more than yeah put it out there run the lines in
It's pretty pretty quiet a hundred feet away
With a wall around it
Well, if I put it on the other side of the barn
(45:56):
You know up up high where it gets enough with two four five walls between you. Yeah
I'm telling you maybe the way to go
That'd be interesting to research out. I'll have to give this some serious thought yeah
Yeah, I'm getting my truck first though
(46:20):
Yeah, you you talk about upgrading the truck so you can pull the fifth wheel or eight. Yeah, so our our
We're gonna live next to the coast when we retire. Mm-hmm. And uh, you know, we're looking about five years per retirement. Yeah
Uh, so the the plan was about five years out
You know figure out figure out what kind of fifth wheel we wanted
(46:44):
uh, and
You know, we went to
an rv show
And we found what we liked and we'll continue to go to the rv shows at least once a year
Uh, you know to make sure what it is, but I have the numbers that I need for what we'd like to be able to tow
Mm-hmm that that means I can purchase the truck. It also means you need another truck. You can't use the truck you have right
(47:10):
uh
so uh
purchase the truck and
You know get it
Get it paid for paid down enough and you know
then
Maybe three years three to four years from now purchase the
Fifth wheel. Okay. Yep. So it's not it's not buy everything now. Yeah, uh, yeah, you speak it out. I want to space it out
(47:39):
So, you know, it's it's a plan and we have reached the we have reached
You know what what we consider the five-year mark
So now's when we want to purchase the truck
Um, and right now what we're really interested in is a toy holler. We really like the toy holler
Ideas she's the inside of these things are just amazing these days
(48:04):
Uh, I'd be full
full fridge
You can get full sinks full wash of it. It's just it's a full size washing machine
You cannot want to like the apartment over and under's
Oh, no, they well they are
They're they're not over and under's they're
well, okay
(48:27):
So talking about right. Yes, I know what you're not I know what you're talking about
But depending upon what model you get there are ones that will fit a full size washing dry
It depends upon what you get. Oh, yeah, I guess but
I thought they'd still be the little one actually why do we need more than the little ones?
It was just two of us right you're not doing a
(48:49):
We don't we we don't we we need we won't need a big dishwasher. We won't need a big washing machine
We won't need a big dryer. What is case scenario? You do your clothes every three days
No one but the option is there. Yeah. Yeah, which is
Insane from what I knew of surprising surprising from what I knew of a travel trailer. Yeah
(49:13):
so
As things have come come up in the world since I've
last really
Had touched with them. Oh man. The world has gotten so nice
And I
I kind of think it has a lot to do with you know fitting out airplanes and fitting out yachts and
you know boats and you know the the technology has
(49:36):
Come up so much. Yeah, that you're able to do crap like this. Uh-huh
uh my big one
Walking around what I determined I really wanted was
a pretty much a full-size
Refrigerator full-size refrigerator. That's the most important part. I think so rest can be mini. Yeah
(50:00):
So yeah, that's what it is and you know, it's a trade-off and and storage and and appliances
It's really what it comes down to. Yeah, you have to definitely choose how many shirts and pants you want on that one. Yeah
but uh the uh
(50:22):
All the ones that we
Thought we would buy
the showers
You could stand up and shower all day long. No hunching over. No, no having to you know hunch and put the little thing above your head
You have to put your arms down the turnaround. Yeah
I've showered in some of those those are those are not fun. Oh
(50:46):
That's cool. Yeah, anyway
Well, I think we're about there. Yeah, we better rank our stuff. Uh, yes
Now
Here's the thing you can almost predict where i'm going to put this
Because I have already stated openly that benchmark eight is my favorite
(51:07):
of the benchmarks and
We've had benchmark eight this year
I know which those listening might be like really you did a benchmark eight and then
You're doing another benchmark and the answer is yeah. Yeah, I am
Because I like benchmark. There's nothing bad about benchmark
(51:29):
right
So, I'm still I know I had I had the simplest of ratings. This was so simple
I looked at it exactly once and went yep. Yep. Nope right there. What are you doing to me man?
I'm I'm teaching you a lesson of what I did last year
(51:53):
Ah
Well crap
That bad
I've got one. I can't I got one. I can't decide above or below. Yeah, I see you swiping
All right, um
No
No, I'm gonna put it below and
(52:15):
Okay
All right, all right, there you go. Um
All right, you want to go first you want me to go first? Oh crap
No, what happened? I just
I wound up on kia.com
Um
Okay
Here we go. I I touched something is what happened. It's a touchscreen. That's how it is
(52:40):
All right. Oh, we are not doing the benchmark eight. Don't talk about that
Darryl put the benchmark foolproof in the numbered nine slot just below the benchmark eight of course big surprise
And just above the johnny walker black
Again, I'm not surprised about that either
This is the most easy placement ever
(53:01):
And
Yeah, you know, I just I can't argue with that choice at all
No, it's obvious. That's the thing. It's just obvious. I can argue with some of these port finish things. No, you know, I'm
All right. Well, where would bill go? All right, so bill put the rocky patel elb1 in the number six position
(53:23):
and yeah, I could see
Who you had to put this over both the diesel original and the the hemmingway bestseller
Those that's tough. Yeah for me. That's really tough
But you put it below the heritage which is now number five going back up the line. Yep to adventure king goal number four
the man of war or mata
Uh, number three
(53:45):
Evan charas blue eyed jax revenge number two and number one per domo 20th anniversary madu roll
Yeah, and for the liquor number five low-down white port finish, which is just weird
Uh, russell riz number four russell reserve single barrel
uh
number three bacones lennish number two 18 45 preemption
reverence
Cask and still number one remiss ball you mate
(54:11):
All right, lovely. I did we want to do a final third of final
Thoughts on the cigars since we're not in the final third or i'm not a final week kind of
Had like you said we the burn was slow. We I guess talk too much
Funny thing wrong with that
(54:32):
Nothing wrong with that. We're we're all right, man. Yeah, we should do we should seek some ending thoughts. Yeah
I
I love the earth all the way through this the the wood I think kind of
Comes in and out with
So early on I said I don't think that the liquor
Didn't really do anything to the cigar vice versa, but i'm starting to think now that
(54:57):
um
the liquor did kind of
Change the wood component in this and I really like the cigar
Uh
More by itself than with the liquor. Okay, uh, that's probably more of a change in me
That as I went through it than then
I the cigar itself hasn't changed. It's just a change in me. So because of the liquor. Yeah, exactly. Yep
(55:22):
So there we go. That's that's where i'm at. So I
Would have put this under the hemmingway. I thought the hemmingway was better because
I think this it's a wood earth, but kind of a unit asker and it's consistent. It's good
but I felt like there was more depth in the the hemmingway
(55:44):
And I just enjoyed it more but there's different tastes for different people. So
I'm doing the ranking now. You're doing the ranking now. Yeah, exactly. So
Love the cigar. I just I would have put it two slots lower, but that's just that's just me
No worries, man. Yeah. All good. Oh, man. I'm good. Oh heck yeah
(56:09):
I
Okay, welcome to our newest episode in this episode. We have the Rocky Patel
(00:04):
LB1 and with it benchmark full proof
You're hanging out with Bill and Daryl with cigars liquor and more
Alright, well the Rocky Patel LB1 this particular one is the Toro. It's a six by 52
(00:27):
Has a lahiro from
Zamanastra Valley of Honduras fillers from a Conega and Esteli
Nicaraguan Ecuadorian Connecticut Habano rapper MSRP of $9
And with it we have the benchmark full proof. So this is a sort of a budget line of buffalo trace
(00:50):
This is bottled at 125 it's full proof. So that's the barrel entry point
And so that's what they bottle at at 125
And the SRP is $22
22 for a hundred and 25 proof bomb. That's yeah, that's expensive when it comes benchmark
It is that's that's the high end bench
(01:12):
That's that's what three times they're almost three times their base model close. Yeah, I think eight is there
No, it can't be eight still I bet it went up because everything's gone up. Yeah, even this one this used to be 19
It's probably 10. Yeah, it's probably then doesn't matter almost all the benchmarks and there's at least five of them that I can think of
Fall between 10 and 24 dollars. So there's just no you can't yeah paying too much for benchmark
(01:39):
And we've had them on the show before and of course we've had them on the porch
we I think
We've had every benchmark this may be
The last one we didn't have we may have forgotten the full proof and had the the cast strength before you've been on the show
Yeah, yeah, well, we've had at least three other benchmarks on the show. I'm not sure about four
(02:05):
Anyway, either way and don't get me wrong the benchmarks mostly tastes the same
Not a lot different
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah comes down mostly to proof
Did you go through and bold these things? No, it came that way came that way. That's excellent. Okay. All right, so um
(02:29):
You know what? What are you doing really nice and quick?
Oh, you want to go to the nose first? I'll do the liquor first
So this is I actually all the benchmark line is a really sweet bourbon
And then and then they are and even at 125 it still comes off sweeter than hot
I mean
(02:50):
No, go wrong. It comes off a little bit. It does it does come off hot
It will surprise your palate when you first sip it
Uh, but i'm telling you the the 125 you will
You know by your fifth sip your you're done you're over with the the shock of
of the 125
and you guys
(03:12):
If you want like dara was saying at the beginning if you want a budget
uh, buffalo trace
Go with the benchmark, which is going to be more important now because I think buffalo trace is going to
Have a lot of delayed shipments after their flood
And a lot of delayed everything because no, no, no, no, no, the the flood was just
(03:35):
Yeah, and slayer building and yet and yet there was no delivery on thursday
There wasn't no
So it it that well firstly if it just hit offices, who do you think organizes deliveries?
So even if it didn't hurt any rick houses or anything like that, right? I understand it did hit some of the
the the custom customer center the way you call visitor center
(03:59):
but
the offices
Coordinate
So yeah, I expect some delayed in shipments and deliveries and so expected to get a little sparse on the shelves
Although there's a lot more of it delivered in america now that it's not being used in canada
um
We I don't think we've talked about the flood on the show you want to you want to say just a touch more about that
(04:26):
Tight tied together for the list. We had a flood come through kentucky
And this was the second highest the waters gotten in a hundred years
Or 200 years. I don't remember a long time long time and it damaged some of the buildings on their main campus
And that would be like I said part of that included the visitor center. So a lot of tours have been interrupted
(04:47):
Um, and who knows nobody nobody was hurt
Yeah, I yeah everything's okay. They didn't say anything about the rick houses
And we did a tour there not that long ago
And
It's not a lot of topography there. So
I would have thought once it came up you get a lot of damage, but I mean maybe they're all right. I don't know
(05:10):
I think the damage was from the sidewall collapsing. Okay
That where the river goes through
I think the damage came from the sidewall collapsing and those buildings being and not so much
High level flooding right just just a wash not actual flooding. Yeah, watch out. Thank you
That is what the the news article kind of sounded like so it could be just that but
(05:33):
Yeah, don't expect your buffalo trace to be delivered on times for a couple weeks at least I imagine right?
Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm surprised there's really inter
Any interruption at all, but if I hit the visitor center then it's probably close to a
Probably close to a main road and they want to make sure that roads say yeah before
Transporting really heavy liquid across
(05:57):
But benchmark ancient age still available
I forgot about ancient age and I have some on my shelf
How could I forget about that you put it on the bottom?
No, it's not at the bottom. It's with the rest of the bourbon. Well, I don't know where you put it. I was just guessing
I
Said out of mine. I don't do top chef lower shelf. I do these are bourbon's. These are whiskies. These are scotches. These are
(06:25):
This is joyous. You mean both of these are scotches
I've got four. Thank you very much
One cognac
That's not a scotch
It's not a scotch, but I only have
Notches in a cognac that you have high
I have four scotches. You actually have one cognac
(06:46):
You really don't like scotches though, so
I'm not
I'm gonna I'm gonna ride you're you're not surprised. I get that you're not sprung
but
Uh, you did say you like that one cognac that I have very much so well, but I like cognacs
Yeah, I don't know how much care for cognacs
(07:07):
I think my problem is I like almost everything
So can't argue
Back to the original idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, it comes off a little hot initially after five sips
Yeah, you're gonna be acclimated. It is very sweet. It's a little corny
It's uh, but I like I like this level of corny and it's very sweet
(07:30):
So it's plenty of vanilla it's almost like all they did
Was just pour the barrel over a filter to get rid of the chunks
That it tastes like that it tastes like it just came from a barrel and
I'd be okay if there were some little little
Charcoal chunks
(07:52):
No flavor christmas man flavor christmas
Yeah, I love it. You know we we go on a tour and you know
They they put the plunger down in the barrel and you get some chunks in your glass. I have absolutely no problem. Yeah, they apologize
Oh, I'm sorry, you know, it's not filtered. We're obviously just pulling it with the whiskey thief and you're like, it's fine. No, I'll just not drink those
(08:15):
I can filter my own
They basically sit at the bottom of the glass. I don't see why there's a problem. Yeah, exactly
Anyway
And anyway, um
Oh, there is a joy and juliet a lot
I do really do this
Solution because they roll the barrel around in order to be able to bake an accessible for us
Right so they're floating in the solution, but as soon as they put it in your glass they sink. Yeah, so
(08:41):
Yeah, I've got absolutely no problems with this
But I really like the uh, I've become a fan of the the benchmarks so have I so I didn't take long
I
It's my opinion that the benchmark is probably the most
Underappreciated
It liquor on that aisle on any aisle it is
(09:02):
I can't I'm not going to make that proclamation because there might be something that's more underappreciated
But this one has to be
Very close to the most underappreciated it has to be
And because it's great liquor and that that and that benchmark eight
Hmm. Yes my favorite one is arguably one of the best of them all it is the
(09:26):
The cast strength
I really like that cast drink
But I mean
Come on. Come on. What is the cast as the cast
No, cast not 114 is it? No, it can't be
Oh, it was it doesn't matter. Frick. I don't know. I don't know
So we don't have tech sports. So yeah later. It's fine. So
(09:48):
You just can't beat this bottle as an everyday drinker for a cost-minded purchase. It's just
It's a great bottle. I don't know why it doesn't fly off the shelf. Hell taken somewhere shared with people
It's my dad good of a bottle. I did that
And y'all about not you all
I mean, nobody wasn't you was stunned. Yes
(10:10):
Yeah, they were shy you you you walk in you tell them i'm gonna have you trying eight dollar bottle of liquor
They all go oh
And it's a screw cap and it's crooked and they are like oh and then they do it. They taste it. They're like
Wow. Yeah
I mean, you just don't realize
Yeah, it is a bunch of hardened
Drinking smoking
(10:31):
Fools were like, you know what that surprised the hell out of me. That was really good
And it at least two of them. I don't know where I'm dead but at least two people bought bottles
It's good enough to label is a buy this it is it is okay buy it before the price goes up because eventually it will
(10:53):
now
Where I was going with it it tastes like they just pulled it out of the cast is I do get
Uh an okey flavor out of it. That's what that's where i'm going. That's where i'm going with that. I
I enjoy it. I really enjoy when the when when the oak comes across. Okay
(11:15):
Yeah, you get two camps there some people complain. Oh, it's okey. It's over oaked, you know, I don't like I don't get that
If people hate it so much, how can we get double oed?
So many places are doing double oed. Yeah, I don't know man
I'll tell you
Clearly you need to go you need to back up on your whiskey drinking and start up
(11:37):
I again though, I may not be the best metric because I like so many things
I'm like
We're you know people out. Where do you fall in that? I'm like, I like both
I give it's okey. I like if it's not okey. I don't know different flavors. What's your favorite one the one I have my hand right now
It does tend to be my favorite place
(12:00):
I also tends to be one of my favorite sticks too
Ah you want to go to the stick?
Yeah, let's go to the stick. Well, the cold draw
Was really earthy. I was like, oh bill and I did one. Yep, and it was
Yeah
Don't expect it. I'm just telling you now. I did have to bag them to do. Don't expect it
(12:22):
so
so
Again lit. Yeah, really earthy
Um, there's a background. It's doesn't to me. It doesn't come across as earthy is what the cold draw did
Cool. Cool. Cold draw kind of you know hinted that it was going to be a deep dark
Or I'll give you that and it's not that it's not that this is this is I think it's an even mix
(12:47):
Of wood and earth because there's a really strong wood component too. Yeah, so but it's nice
It's real nice. And it's again. This is not one of the aromatic was not like a cedar or something that this is like your basic
I don't want to say pine, but oak oak. Yeah, which is complementary to the bottle. We're drinking
I mean, I guess
(13:10):
You could view it that way. I think we complimented the bottle enough before it got there
Yeah, we did that we did if it was a I would it be all happy with us
So forward flavors wood and earth other thoughts
I mean there you could say that you know
On the finish there's a little bit of a slight pepper component to it. Oh, but really
(13:37):
I mean, it's really just earth and wood. Yeah, it doesn't come off. I don't like catching the pepper
I do in the retrohale
There's some pepper in the retrohale
You reminded me when you said pepper so I was like, oh, I haven't done a retro. I did one there it is
yeah, it's um
It's kind of a rough retro
(13:58):
but you know
Just adds that pepper
I'm checking out drink draw draw drink
Really, they just kind of stay out of each other's way for me
I'm not I'm not getting a I'm not both drink drawings raw drink. Yeah, I'm not getting a
Benefit either way. I'm not getting a detriment either way
I would say that the uh
(14:19):
The dry drink makes the corn more corny
But apart from that they started each other's way to me that all the draw drink does is make the finish of the cigar go away faster
Okay
That that's really all it does for me
Not not a terrible thing
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do I also like the band
(14:43):
Yeah, the I mean this is we haven't done a band analysis in a while. This this is this is a big stick right six inches
so
They've got some real estate to deal with but even if you had a even if you had a toro this size band would be just fine
No, this is technically this is a toro. Oh, this is a toro. Yeah
(15:04):
Robusto only goes up to like five and a half or something. Okay, robusto then. No, no
It's a toro because it's six a robusto smaller. Okay shorter
Fine emit my statement
Even if they even if they did a robusto. Yeah, this size band will be just fine. Yeah, yeah
But this is arguably one of the more elegant
(15:28):
Rocky bands
For rocky bands
Okay, exclude the 60 because the 60s rather elegant the six I said one of I did not say the okay
Sorry
But yeah, I do I do like the look I am all the white. It's got a gold. Oh, that's nice. It is nice
Yeah, the good the gold on the white it's it's it
(15:52):
Shows up it's just it pops and it's got these little elements on it looks like kind of you know
1800s drawing of a
Remind you of 1800. Yes, it does
That's I like I like the other thing that reminds me of 1800s because they added hand rolled on there
So it says hand rolled cigar and I'm like
(16:14):
I
I always think that's kind of a dumb thing to add to a cigar because it's like
I don't know
any
premium cigars hand rolled and if you're buying
A cigar that's not machine made you know it's a hand rolled cigar
because you went out of you
(16:36):
Intentionally bought it
Right, otherwise you would have just bought the schwisher or the I don't know what's Dutch brothers or whatever no not touch bro. What's the bros
It doesn't matter
So to me when you write a hand rolled on it's sort of like the the you know the the liquor bottle writing you know real alcohol
Yeah, I I bet it's real alcohol, you know
(16:59):
You know so that one seems weird, but that's what makes it feel more old-timey too because you would have put that on there in the
100s. Yep. I'm gonna say this
I'm just gonna put it out there
They say hand rolled
Hand rolled cigar still use some machines yet
It is it is
(17:20):
hand
Operated mmm. It's not machine operate. It is hand operated, but it is
It's a tool there is a tool. Yeah that they're not
Physically
Bunching up the the filler binder rolling them like they're not hand rolling it like you did a joint in the college, right?
(17:43):
Exactly. They're taking bunches. We're just the example. I guess is from predominant, right? Yeah
They have an interesting that has like a flexible
Band not banned a flexible table. It's like a cloth not cloth the leather table or something. Yeah, it's leather or um
(18:07):
Yeah, it's got some wheels that roll it over to itself once you place the
Binder and the fillers in place. Yeah, you you roughly put put everything together
You set it down in this and then you just push them to the the lever forward about it's not really a lever
It's yeah, you're you're pushing the the bottom end of it towards the top and then you're all these things have names
(18:32):
I know they do
And we don't know when you when you get it then when it's done. It's
rolled its mm-hmm
It's rolled everything onto itself and now you've got a binder
A leaf with filler inside of it intensive. Oh very very
And you know they do they do roll it and make sure that it you know came out okay and and now the the wrapper the wrapper is completely
(18:59):
100 hand. Yeah, and that's probably what they really mean when they say hand work
I bet it is. This is the wrap up. I bet it is either way. It doesn't matter
That it makes me feel like it's more 1800s too to say hand rolled on it because I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, it's hand rolled to earth
This is a beautiful beautiful colored leaf dark dark brown. I think it'd be called
(19:21):
Colorado
Where do you think it's darker than colorado might be a little darker in colorado?
Oh, you got the color indicator right behind you. So can you actually hold it up against
Yeah, it looks like a colorado. Brilliant. Yeah, good job
(19:42):
Good job. Haha. Yeah, I'd say it's colorado. Um, let's just Connecticut hibano
But I get you know colorado color
Anyway
It is a beautiful wrapper and it is a very cool band. I like the band
And they're they're they're
No really void spots when you when you roll it around on your fingers. It's it's very well done
(20:06):
Yes, it's got what I call that right level of medium pressure, right when you pinch it
It's like it's there and it's it's not hard. It's not soft. It's scaldy laks
Goodly laks
Right
Yeah, we haven't done so much construction lately, have we? We haven't really been talking about construction too much
(20:28):
We probably should get back to it. Just like people know we probably should
I
Mean these are all these are all things that I I look at
and feel
As I'm smoking a cigar even if I'm just sitting on a porch
Right not doing a show. It's all things that I think about
Oh, yeah. Yeah, same thing. I think about it, but I don't I guess I don't always voice it and I we need to
(20:54):
It's literally all we have on these mics
And
It is cigars and liquor. Mm-hmm
So the more comes after
All right. Well with that do we do we want to take a little break? Yeah, let's take a little break
I've been talking so much. I'm not even in the
(21:16):
I'm not anywhere near halfway either. We've been talking and yeah, how far along yeah, oh not far
Oh, yeah, you are much further. No further new
All right, we'll be right back

(22:04):
All right, we are back with old fashions in hand. Oh, yes, we are
Let's see how this guy goes. I let you know. I like the high proofs of going to old fashions
Mmm, it's candy. It's candy though
I like the aroma
Yeah, there actually there is an orangey
Tinge to it
(22:26):
And there's a little touch of an orange and a taste but yeah, it's mostly just candy open. Yeah, I could drink them all night
But I wouldn't calm special
There you go. Hmm
At 22 dollars. This is a bottle that should go in an old fashioned not something that's 70 or 80 right
I
but
(22:48):
I think it depends upon what camp you come come from
right because
if you come from the camp of
I don't want to take my good sip and liquor right and put it in a mixed drink. Yes
But if you're from the camp of crap in crap out
Then you want good stuff to go into it your old fashioned right so I think it really depends upon what camp you come from
(23:11):
I heard that camp. I love blends. This is my favorite. So why wouldn't I make my old fashioned with it too?
Okay, I
Yeah, but I'm not really a mixed drink kind of guy. Hmm
so
I used to be with rum
(23:32):
Back in the day. Mm-hmm. All righty now anymore
All right
Lovely unfortunate is merely a candielfish
You know they can't all be gold. Mm-hmm
Because then nothing would be gold
(23:54):
Yeah
All righty
It is often a standard mint point discussion
Like you said you're only buying an inch in yeah, I'm not that far in
I just I mean by the time this show ends. I'll be about to midpoint right it does seem like it
So he's been a real slow smoker for you
(24:18):
Is it because they're talking if you think it's a slow smoker
a
Little bit of both I think but I have been doing more talking normal
But at the same time I'm not that far ahead of you
I mean you're a good inch ahead of me. No
Yeah
Okay, three quarters of an inch
(24:41):
We can round fine here look I'll tap the ash and now it's an inch
I
Fine
I'll accept it. I
Again trying to slow down. I'm trying. Yeah, I don't know. Oh hey, so the wife we were doing
Something outside the wife
Lammed up with a bee underneath her shirt on her shoulder. Oh and stung her. Yep
(25:07):
And
She came in and and put bimitrol cream on I'm like no no no bleach
You remember each pen. Yeah discussion. Yeah, so
After learning that I haven't been stung so I had I didn't think about it right away, but I thought about it and I mean it's
She's still what we put it on anyway. Yeah, and yeah, it worked pretty good
(25:33):
Makes sense when he said it it made sense to me because most of those things
Most of these toxins and stuff like this are acids. So how do you neutralize it with a base?
So it makes sense. I but but it worked. All right good good callback. Yeah
I mean if she didn't talked about that not that long. All right, I think we mentioned it on the show
(26:00):
Uh, but I finally had the you know, did you put the bee there? No, I did
Because I would have mentioned the bleach right away. That's how you know
But I thought that was I thought that was pretty cool. Yeah, me too. I had not heard of that
I hadn't thought of it, but boom he's so right makes yeah
(26:22):
Absolutely. And if there's anybody you should listen to it somebody who does landscaping about bee sting. Oh, no correct
That is
Incredibly right. Yeah
Hmm
All right. Well this article comes to us from bill
Um
He found this I did not write that Jason
(26:43):
De Gean
Degan, sorry Jason Degan
Researchers at the distance university of Madrid. That's just a great name distance university
I
Mean I don't know have uncovered an innovative way to harness energy created by artificial air currents
Which were once considered waste the key to this discovery is vertical turbines
(27:08):
They're small powerful turbines can be installed in hvak systems capturing energy that would otherwise go unused
Turbines produce about nine lots of power before you go on so
I'm sure folks have seen the vertical wind turbines
I think the vertical wind turbines are a brilliant alternative
To your standard what you think of as a wind turbine. Mm-hmm. I think they're brilliant
(27:34):
um
I never thought about
Stick it them because think of the think of the chillers
Right that operate your heat exchangers. You mean yeah that operate big
Uh, you know that that do air conditioning. Yeah for big buildings
Those stuffs that those are kicking out
(27:55):
wind currents
Constant and a lot of heat
and a lot of heat
so
That that's a great place to capture energy it is. I like the idea
Again because one of those, you know, we didn't reinvent the wheel. We just find a new use for it. Just made it better. Yeah
I think I think it's cool
(28:17):
So they're hoping to generate more clean energy with this without extensive modifications
And the first real world application was in a data center. Does that make any more sense?
That makes a lot of sense to all that heat all those fans they have to have
So they were tested
And the single set of turbines
(28:39):
generated
468 megawatts in a year
Nice. Wow. That's not messing around. Is it
That's fabulous. Now they they gave some specifics
The turbines were paired with lebert hpm hpcm coolers, which featured ec fan fans running at 480 volts and 900 rpms
(29:03):
That's detail. I didn't expect an article like this. This is the kind of detail you should get in articles
Oh, it should especially if you want to tell somebody how you did something cool
Give me the deeds. Where's the abstract?
I read a lot of scientific papers. So I think of them as abstract. Yeah, and then I want where's the procedure section
(29:26):
Let me go down to that. Absolutely. Absolutely. I think more articles should have procedure sections. Yes
Yes
This type of information is important to be able to evaluate whether or not what you're telling me is crap or not
Okay, go ahead. Yeah, and so you know now this airflow seen as a byproduct of cooling has become a resource
(29:51):
Thank this is this is the kind of article, you know, I love to hear and see and talk about
So the jessip v7 turbines were used in the project stand out for their compact size lightweight design
Sattara
These generate
513 mega-watt watch annually with each turban contributing about 85 mega watts a year
(30:17):
And create a steady and reliable source of energy throughout the year. So you've got
You've got a giant data center burning a giant amount of energy. Yep, and but then
Regenerating x amount of energy. I love to have I would have loved to hear
what
Percentage of the consumed energy this returned, right? Oh probably half a percent at the most
(30:41):
Data centers use a boat ton of it of course
but
the the thing about this is
You did
Turn a way stream. Oh wait a minute my bad. Do you have it something productive? They do have it
They do have it but not as a percent despite the initial cost of installation
(31:05):
uh
The data center consumes
336 mega watts annually but with the addition of the turbines it now produces
467 creating a surplus to give you that back into the local power supply
Why wouldn't they just use it locally?
No, shit. Why feed it into the power supply use it
(31:29):
And then you reduce what you need from the power supply. How they produce more than they consume that sounds weird
No, they use 336
The uh
station produces
The delta between 467 and 3. Okay, so their their actual consumption is 700 or 800 in something
(31:54):
And it returns 400
That would be amazing because I was thinking it would be really small too. Oh no
No, you're right. They're saying that the the wind turbines produce 467 mega watts
But the data center only uses
336
(32:15):
Data centers are free now. So they're they are
They are consuming
Everything and then returning the surplus. Okay. I think this is now
Even more amazing brilliant. Yeah more amazing
I would have thought it would just been just a tiny percentage of what they use but no, it's all of it and then some
(32:39):
So the associated cost was 111,000 pounds
With a thousand pounds of annual maintenance and by the third year which energy is
Outpaced the cost
Yes, and boasts a 50 almost 51 internal rate of return over 20 years
(33:00):
Wow
The turbines will reduce carbon emissions by about 300 tons a year
That's amazing
Because they dare not you
This is the type of point of use
Electric electricity generation that you have been talking about for quite a while
(33:22):
And that I agree with
Just you need to do how yeah
This is a company somebody found a how I
That's pretty cool, but I think that but this is
On an industrial scale this makes absolute sense on a personal scale
(33:43):
Maybe not as much need to see what happens. I don't know what the output of a vertical
Turbine is on your house. Well, think about how much wind we have in Texas
So I even thought what if you just took your standard issue muffin fan, right?
And instead of putting power in it to spin the fan
You just put the fans on your roof and pulled the power out of them
(34:07):
Now they're not actually built that way
No, but what if you had a fan built that way and they were just four inch fans that just lined the roof ridgeline of your roof
They would spin constantly here just a little bit of your generator, right?
And think about this I could do we talk about solar panels that make for
(34:30):
4,000 watts, right? You don't think we could get 4,000 watts out of those
like
1,000 four watt fans
Yeah, but I
What would it be if you had
four vertical
Turbines, mm-hmm one on each corner of your house. Mm-hmm
(34:56):
Well, I mean I could do it. I have no trees
And you have tons of wind and I tons of wind
Literally tons it would it would make tons of force
I need I need to look I need to look into that
Little shed out there to capture the energy from
(35:17):
have
usage
Oh with the heat differences you could create when you could create airflow
with like a shed that's all
You know corrugated steel, right?
Think I'll hot that thing would get inside there
That would create an upward current
big time
And if the wind we're helping that upward current to the heat you would have
(35:40):
really regular flow through that thing
Well, why don't we you why don't we
Have electric electric generation from the turbines on our roof
Yeah, the world of birds. Yeah, the world of birds that just get the heat out
Yeah, we should do all those things
It's I mean, I think there's a lot of progress to be made in what all the technology already exists
(36:04):
It comes down to the complication of bringing it into your box into your your fuse box
Because that interface is not without complication. Oh, that's a fact
that is a fact
But we should be doing more of these
As as lean manufacturing calls it small nails
(36:27):
Because you pile up enough small nails and all of a sudden tiny little nails make two boards
inseparable by the most Herculean of forces
I
Yeah, so what I need to do is
Play with such things for my shop for my barn for my yeah for my pump house
(36:51):
Yeah
Absolutely should
I was gonna put uh, I was gonna put solar for lighting in the pump house
Um
And I've thought
Lighter lighting makes imminent sense. It's readily available easy to do to yeah, and I've
I've I've also
Thought about doing
(37:13):
Solar lights in the barn, but I need a ladder tall enough to be able to get up there
And I have one now. I have a 12 foot ladder. Okay, that let's be good up high enough to where I can
Where I would put the lighting so
Um, yeah, you could put in chandeliers
Well, that way you could serve some more easily
(37:35):
That'd be that'd be the coolest
uh, we are giant shed that has
chandeliers
That'd be funny
Hey, it's a high-class shed
High class barn it is
It's uh probably
(37:56):
All right, excluding the mondo barns that my in-laws have because they're actual farmers
It is by by far the the best shed I know of
I wish I had what is it 40 by 32 40?
That one's 40 by 40 40 by 40. Yes. Yeah, 1600 square feet
(38:18):
That's that's uh 250 square feet bigger in my first house
Um, my twice your first no not twice 1.6 times your first house
No, uh 1.6 joyous first house. My first house was 22. Okay. I was thinking hers
Uh, my first apartment was
(38:41):
Okay
The first one moved into
With a family was you know kids was was right around 1100
Yeah, the first apartment
My wife rented I stayed with her
Was I think?
290
And our second one big expansion 350
(39:05):
And then we moved to texas
We actually got a two bedroom apartment even though it was just two of us
It was 600 square feet, which was unfathomably hues
That was so huge
And you said a lot of people in here and then our first house was uh, I think it was 1450
(39:26):
again
Double the size of the apartment. We will never fill this
But like I say humans are like gases people are like yeah, we fill the space given to us. Absolutely
As is obvious from my in-laws who have three gigantic stuffed bars
Yeah
(39:47):
Same thing with mine same thing with mine
Yeah, if you got it you stuff it. It's just
Unbelievable
But i've been working on clearing it out man. Don't work it on clearing it out
Oh, same thing got it. Got to start got to start parenting
I mean, we've we've kept going bigger and I'm
(40:09):
Now that we've got a plan to retire in downsides
Yeah, i'm like, okay, I got to scrape off you got to start picking and choosing
Yeah, I got to scrape off a couple thousand square feet of crap
And and it's easier to do now
That it is when you're ready to move
Right, right because I can do it piecemeal a little bit by a little bit and that stuff like that
(40:32):
But you have to have your own rule that says at the very least you have to start with
If I bring something in I got to take something out
So I did that with my closet
I won't I refuse to buy any more hangers the hangers I have all the hangers
No more buying hangers and no stuffing shirts and smashing them together
So now if I get something whether it's christmas or I buy it
(40:57):
Something has to go I have to go through and pick something to go boom. Yep
But at the same time
That's not
Making progress. That's just not getting worse
And my garage
And doesn't gain better
Not getting worse is good
B-Star
You have to start there
(41:18):
You develop those habits. Well, thank you for making me feel better about that. Yeah
No, I'd do it right now. So this one
There's another rule bills wearing a shirt by the way. Yeah, there's there's there's another rule
Don't throw away anything clean
Oh, so so this this shirt that I'm wearing
(41:39):
So I I have I've gotten extra shirts
So now it's time to call things
So this shirt that I'm wearing at the end of the day. It goes in the trash not the laundry
Right because I've got yeah, because I've got yeah, because I've got something that needs that hanger
Okay, so I have a secondary stage
(42:01):
So I have the garage rag bin
And it's not actually any rags in there. It's all clothing. Yeah, but mine's full
Right. Well, I don't need that. So I swab stuff up and toss it
So my my isn't don't throw away things that are clean
Mine is don't throw away things that aren't full of oil or dust or grime
Because I will I will take just take a shirt and I go oh, it's time to clean the porch
(42:25):
And you just wipe off all the tables and whatever
Throw it away. That's my that's my that's my towel
And so I have a long okay. I'm doing this now. I have a long cycle of
reduce reuse recycle. So I I do the reuse on the shirts and pants and all that stuff
Up
Use something multiple
(42:48):
Everything has more than one use. Yeah
And even in Jesus super absorbent they're great for oil changes
You wear them for the oil change you take them off you wipe the oil with it and then you throw it away kind of
Just not all in your
(43:10):
In your driveway. Yeah. No, yeah, no, you probably should break up those sections
You're not stripping down in your driveway. Yeah, I'm just saying you know
Good good good tip. Yeah
Good pro tip to not be registered
Yeah
But anyway back to the turbines where do we go? I would love to have I would love to explore the option of dualments
(43:38):
I'm not all about
Having solar panels all over my roof. Yeah, I just just
One of one of the problems with solar panels is the degradation of the of the clear. Yeah. Yeah
so
I just I really have a problem with solar panels in that regard for residential
(44:02):
but
vertical turbines right because after 20 years you could just replace the motor
Yes, by the Bing you don't toss an entire panel of all this electrical gear
Yeah, and create giant electronic waste and just lose everything you could just replace the pieces like you do a regular AC unit
Yeah, yeah, I like that idea
(44:24):
And there's almost as long as it's not
Are they not noisy? That's the question. Yeah, I see that's what I don't know. Yeah
Now if
on the output of a chiller unit
You don't care because the chiller unit itself louder loud
But at home. Yeah, what is it gonna be like? What's it gonna be like at night because here are you gonna hear?
(44:50):
Mmm
Or if it starts rattling
Here when it's nighttime, it's quiet
Real quiet out here
Right so much so that if when the train goes through at 4 a.m
Which is the only noise six miles away
(45:14):
Four miles five miles five miles away
You can hear the train going through that's how quiet it is right here
So
What's it gonna do to my piece and quiet? Right it may may damage it slightly
And the ideally it wouldn't be any louder than the pool pump if it paid for my electricity
(45:35):
Oh, I tolerate a little noise. Yeah, I also might make it remote like you've got you've got a few
You got a hundred feet behind you put it out there run the lines. Oh more than yeah put it out there run the lines in
It's pretty pretty quiet a hundred feet away
With a wall around it
Well, if I put it on the other side of the barn
(45:56):
You know up up high where it gets enough with two four five walls between you. Yeah
I'm telling you maybe the way to go
That'd be interesting to research out. I'll have to give this some serious thought yeah
Yeah, I'm getting my truck first though
(46:20):
Yeah, you you talk about upgrading the truck so you can pull the fifth wheel or eight. Yeah, so our our
We're gonna live next to the coast when we retire. Mm-hmm. And uh, you know, we're looking about five years per retirement. Yeah
Uh, so the the plan was about five years out
You know figure out figure out what kind of fifth wheel we wanted
(46:44):
uh, and
You know, we went to
an rv show
And we found what we liked and we'll continue to go to the rv shows at least once a year
Uh, you know to make sure what it is, but I have the numbers that I need for what we'd like to be able to tow
Mm-hmm that that means I can purchase the truck. It also means you need another truck. You can't use the truck you have right
(47:10):
uh
so uh
purchase the truck and
You know get it
Get it paid for paid down enough and you know
then
Maybe three years three to four years from now purchase the
Fifth wheel. Okay. Yep. So it's not it's not buy everything now. Yeah, uh, yeah, you speak it out. I want to space it out
(47:39):
So, you know, it's it's a plan and we have reached the we have reached
You know what what we consider the five-year mark
So now's when we want to purchase the truck
Um, and right now what we're really interested in is a toy holler. We really like the toy holler
Ideas she's the inside of these things are just amazing these days
(48:04):
Uh, I'd be full
full fridge
You can get full sinks full wash of it. It's just it's a full size washing machine
You cannot want to like the apartment over and under's
Oh, no, they well they are
They're they're not over and under's they're
well, okay
(48:27):
So talking about right. Yes, I know what you're not I know what you're talking about
But depending upon what model you get there are ones that will fit a full size washing dry
It depends upon what you get. Oh, yeah, I guess but
I thought they'd still be the little one actually why do we need more than the little ones?
It was just two of us right you're not doing a
(48:49):
We don't we we don't we we need we won't need a big dishwasher. We won't need a big washing machine
We won't need a big dryer. What is case scenario? You do your clothes every three days
No one but the option is there. Yeah. Yeah, which is
Insane from what I knew of surprising surprising from what I knew of a travel trailer. Yeah
(49:13):
so
As things have come come up in the world since I've
last really
Had touched with them. Oh man. The world has gotten so nice
And I
I kind of think it has a lot to do with you know fitting out airplanes and fitting out yachts and
you know boats and you know the the technology has
(49:36):
Come up so much. Yeah, that you're able to do crap like this. Uh-huh
uh my big one
Walking around what I determined I really wanted was
a pretty much a full-size
Refrigerator full-size refrigerator. That's the most important part. I think so rest can be mini. Yeah
(50:00):
So yeah, that's what it is and you know, it's a trade-off and and storage and and appliances
It's really what it comes down to. Yeah, you have to definitely choose how many shirts and pants you want on that one. Yeah
but uh the uh
(50:22):
All the ones that we
Thought we would buy
the showers
You could stand up and shower all day long. No hunching over. No, no having to you know hunch and put the little thing above your head
You have to put your arms down the turnaround. Yeah
I've showered in some of those those are those are not fun. Oh
(50:46):
That's cool. Yeah, anyway
Well, I think we're about there. Yeah, we better rank our stuff. Uh, yes
Now
Here's the thing you can almost predict where i'm going to put this
Because I have already stated openly that benchmark eight is my favorite
(51:07):
of the benchmarks and
We've had benchmark eight this year
I know which those listening might be like really you did a benchmark eight and then
You're doing another benchmark and the answer is yeah. Yeah, I am
Because I like benchmark. There's nothing bad about benchmark
(51:29):
right
So, I'm still I know I had I had the simplest of ratings. This was so simple
I looked at it exactly once and went yep. Yep. Nope right there. What are you doing to me man?
I'm I'm teaching you a lesson of what I did last year
(51:53):
Ah
Well crap
That bad
I've got one. I can't I got one. I can't decide above or below. Yeah, I see you swiping
All right, um
No
No, I'm gonna put it below and
(52:15):
Okay
All right, all right, there you go. Um
All right, you want to go first you want me to go first? Oh crap
No, what happened? I just
I wound up on kia.com
Um
Okay
Here we go. I I touched something is what happened. It's a touchscreen. That's how it is
(52:40):
All right. Oh, we are not doing the benchmark eight. Don't talk about that
Darryl put the benchmark foolproof in the numbered nine slot just below the benchmark eight of course big surprise
And just above the johnny walker black
Again, I'm not surprised about that either
This is the most easy placement ever
(53:01):
And
Yeah, you know, I just I can't argue with that choice at all
No, it's obvious. That's the thing. It's just obvious. I can argue with some of these port finish things. No, you know, I'm
All right. Well, where would bill go? All right, so bill put the rocky patel elb1 in the number six position
(53:23):
and yeah, I could see
Who you had to put this over both the diesel original and the the hemmingway bestseller
Those that's tough. Yeah for me. That's really tough
But you put it below the heritage which is now number five going back up the line. Yep to adventure king goal number four
the man of war or mata
Uh, number three
(53:45):
Evan charas blue eyed jax revenge number two and number one per domo 20th anniversary madu roll
Yeah, and for the liquor number five low-down white port finish, which is just weird
Uh, russell riz number four russell reserve single barrel
uh
number three bacones lennish number two 18 45 preemption
reverence
Cask and still number one remiss ball you mate
(54:11):
All right, lovely. I did we want to do a final third of final
Thoughts on the cigars since we're not in the final third or i'm not a final week kind of
Had like you said we the burn was slow. We I guess talk too much
Funny thing wrong with that
(54:32):
Nothing wrong with that. We're we're all right, man. Yeah, we should do we should seek some ending thoughts. Yeah
I
I love the earth all the way through this the the wood I think kind of
Comes in and out with
So early on I said I don't think that the liquor
Didn't really do anything to the cigar vice versa, but i'm starting to think now that
(54:57):
um
the liquor did kind of
Change the wood component in this and I really like the cigar
Uh
More by itself than with the liquor. Okay, uh, that's probably more of a change in me
That as I went through it than then
I the cigar itself hasn't changed. It's just a change in me. So because of the liquor. Yeah, exactly. Yep
(55:22):
So there we go. That's that's where i'm at. So I
Would have put this under the hemmingway. I thought the hemmingway was better because
I think this it's a wood earth, but kind of a unit asker and it's consistent. It's good
but I felt like there was more depth in the the hemmingway
(55:44):
And I just enjoyed it more but there's different tastes for different people. So
I'm doing the ranking now. You're doing the ranking now. Yeah, exactly. So
Love the cigar. I just I would have put it two slots lower, but that's just that's just me
No worries, man. Yeah. All good. Oh, man. I'm good. Oh heck yeah
