If I'm polishing off the whole bottle, I'm pretty sure the only thing I'm going to change by eating, is the consistency of what comes back up later... I'm trying a sip neat now, but after work I'm doing the on-the-rocks with lime to enjoy the NEW EPISODE OF SOUTH PARK!!! I've been waiting for this for like 6 months... Thanks for the tip!

Re: Tequila
I just tried the stuff. Who could say that this won't do well with a cigar? Smoooooooooooooth, but with that little peppery bite on the finish? I can't wait to try this with a stogie tonight. Any recommendations? Oh... Sooo good...

Re: Tequila
Searched out this thread yesterday, then went and bought a bottle of Don Julio anejo. 18 months in oak. Can't wait to try it.

I was tempted to get the Hornitos by Sauza, as it was $12 cheaper, but the Don seems to come in with higher recommendations.

IMHO, Hornitos is tops for making great margaritas. However, if you are drinking it straight, can't go wrong with Don Julio. Its great stuff.

Perfect, that's what I was hoping. I'm looking to sip it, probably chilled, with a cigar.

Re: Tequila
IMO sipping Tequila is better enjoyed like a Cognac or Brandy slightly warm in a brandy glass where the warmth from your hand is carried into the tequila.


Chilling tequila just mutes the taste. This may be a good thing if your drinking Cuervo gold but not if you want to truly taste what some of the premium tequilas have to offer.

Although I've heard the same thing, I prefer it in a chilled glass. No ice, just a chilled glass.

Re: Tequila
It's settled then. I will drink it chilled. Then I will drink another one warm in a brandy snifter.

That, good sir, is one hell of a solution.

Then by the end of the night, you'll be drinking straight from the bottle

Re: Tequila
Has anyone else tried the Jose Cuervo Familia Reserve ?
I though that was an excellent tequilla. If pairing it with a cigar, look for some thing full bodied with a bit of a spicy kick to it.

Other favorites of mine include Corazon, Don Julio and Cabo Wabo all of the anejo variety. Never was big on the lighter tequillas, Guess i like that added kick a little.

Re: Tequila
Love the Reserva de La Familia. It's one of those "cognac" tequilas. Same can be said for Porfidio. If I'm making margaritas, I prefer el Tesoro Platinum -- really adds a unique flavour to the drink that Patron can't match.

M wife brought me a bottle of Hacienda del Christero Platinum back from Texas a few years back that was excellent. I believe it's distilled 5 times.

Corazon is one of my favourite "shooting" tequilas: more complex than Patron and ....cheaper
