Tobacco: Black Cavendishes, Periques, I love dark, sweet fruity tobaccos
Pipe: A $30 Briar apple in a Danish design with no brand name from Italy. Cheap but smokes better than my Petersen. My second favorite is a Turkish Meerschaum I inherited from my Granddad. It's got a real amber stem and is about 90 years old.

| I love a good port. I actually prefer a Tawny Port, and a good smoke. Either a Cuban Cigar or a good stout English blend in the pipe. |

Graham's 20 year old is my preference. |

| Just finished a bowl of Balkan Sasieni and a few rounds of Noval Black. Man, it doesn't get much better than this. My other favorite is Taylor Fladgate LBV 2005. Both very nice and around $20 a bottle. |

| I enjoy a glass of port also. I second the Graham's 20 year and I also like Graham's Six Grapes. |

| Cheers! I need to try some more varieties, but right now, Sandeman's ruby port has been a regular for me. Hard to beat the price, and it's so easy to find. |

| There's a winery out here called Sheltons. They make their own port, and it is darned good. I know Total Wine stores in this area carry it, though it's much more fun to go to the winery and get it.

Haven't had the current release, but the 2004 was indeed pretty yummy, tasting more like a Banyuls than a Port. |

| By way, another American 'port' (this one from more traditional port grapes, and a bit easier to find than the Shelton) would be Twisted Oak's 'Pig Stai Pour't' -- if you don't know them, they have an off-beat (or as they would claim, 'twisted') sensibility, and produce Spanish & Rhone varietal wines. I'll probably pop one for over Thanksgiving

That Founder's Reserve is good. Another good one is Fonseca Bin 27. |
Thanks, that reminds me that I need to buy another bottle! |

| I want to try some port, I'm also venturing into the Sherry realm, as it is really trying to make a comeback--and rightfully so--it's wonderful, when it's not salted garbage for cooking.  |

| Well, I've been drinking port since I started off this thread a year ago, and now I have a hard time drinking "regular" wine. It just seems too watery and thin compared to the richness of port. No turning back for me...  |
