Compared the 2017 to a king (2014). This one kicked the 2017 out of the pond, but glad to have both bottles.

Few Armagnac samples I got to try earlier. Now, on to Tiki style. Flower thief.

Antiquetiger, no interest in selling just wanted the miles? If you change your mind on that let me know, I’ll shoot you an email. I’m the dumbass that left and lost my spot in line at Costco by the way

Does Costco actually put the bottles on the shelves with everything else? Or do they just keep it behind the counter at the membership area?

So I would imagine whoever has the best 40 time makes it to the case and gets first dibs? This is something I need to witness.

I give it to you guys....

Last night I decided it was time for a cigar and a nice pour of bourbon.
Had a Monte Cristo from the cigar truck at Bayou Teche and opened up a DDH Ghost in the Machine, after that I poured me some Four Rose Single Barrel I picked up at Alexander's. About half-way through the cigar man did I feel like crap my first time smoking a cigar in 5 years

Should have bought a smaller cigar, was a long one and me not being a cigar guy it was probably too much.

GROUND RULES

1. Tickets have been on sale since we announced the event. They will remain on sale until 6PM December 21st the day of the event. They can be purchased online at our website or at guest services in the store.

2. Tickets are $15 each. There is a limit of 5 per person. Proceeds go to the OLOL Childrens Research Hospital being built in Baton Rouge.

3. OLOL will be present at the event with a table. In addition to the ticket proceeds, they are accepting donations for the Childrens Hospital being built. Please be generous.

4. Wine, beer, and whiskey tasting will begin at 6PM w/ Hors do oeuvre’s

5. Specialty whiskeys, wine, beer, and cigars will be for sale at discounted prices. First come first serve.

6. Lottery starts at 7PM

7. When tickets are drawn, the recipient must decide promptly whether to buy the bottle they were drawn for or to pass.

8. If a recipient declines to buy the bottle they won, that ticket is set aside and put out of play. This means this ticket is effectively dead. Unless the recipient bought additional tickets, they are out of the competition.

9. Then another ticket is drawn to award the bottle to the next lucky recipient.

10. All purchases are finalized as soon as the recipient accepts the bottle they won.

11. In addition to the lottery, we will have separate drawings for door-prizes.
