We are mixing it up again this week! In the classic style of Squire Select we are pairing a spirit (Boodles Rhubarb Strawberry Gin) with some quality pipe tobacco, but wait, as they say...there's more! We then use that same spirit to create a cocktail and see how it changes the pairing selection.
Pipe Question:
(from Alex) About Nicotine Content: I always loved aromatics many because My girlfriend and kids love the smell but i've always wanted to smoke something stronger I dabbled into some darker Periques and BURLEYS but found the nicotine kick was too strong Other blends like Old Joe Krantz Old Dark Fired and Irish Flake i heard are very strong too What can i mix with them to lower the nicotine as i want to smoke them I love my Carter Hall Would that tone them down a bit.
Quick Fire Questions:
You’ve got 1 magical hour. 1 magical hour to be anywhere in the world with 1 hours worth of music, 1 hours worth of pipe tobacco, 1 beverage and 1 pipe.
Listener Feedback:
(From Jeremy) Just got a chance to listen to latest episode on Calico Jack. Loved it. Listened to it on my way home from a job site and Friday nights are family movie nights in the Dukes household. The boys chose a Netflix animated movie called The Sea Beast. It’s a lot of swashbuckling fun in the vein of Moby Dick, and I couldn’t help but think about you and your love for all things pirates.
. Not sure what your kids are into but it’s worth the watch. Hope all is well!
