Downed 14 Gulf Coast Oysters at Pappadeaux this evening, followed by 1-3/4 lb Maine lobster steamed to perfection. I ripped into it like a Bostonian, and left nothing behind but empty shells, broken legs and claws.

After a gret meal like this, and since the night air in D/FW got just a tiddly bit nipply, I clipped off the slightest bit of a little Ashton VSG Enchantment and slowly set it aglow. Wrapper as smooth as a fresh-spanked baby's ass, just the slightest line of a vein, only apparent after I put on my glasses, flawless color, sweet and smooth as oscuro. Sipping on a 12-year old single malt double-barrel-aged Scotch, The Balvenie. The ash never fell off. By the time the nub was burning my thumb and forefinger, it was mostly ash and still had its original shape. Let me sum up this little power cigar in a word: Damn!

Now, if even 10% of those oysters do their job, no doubt, the evening will end even perfecter.

el, I'm sure we can count on a full report in the morning ...

Good job LLT,I'm envious,sounded like an XLNT night.
BTW,oysters don't work. I know,I downed a doz and only 5 worked. X

eletea, Papadeaux is great!!! Are you in Houston?

Charlie

Sounds Great LLT, Wife and I went out with 2 other couples and ate Italian. Had a great time eating and laughing. Topped it off with an ISOM Monte#4. It was good night.

Charlie, I'm in Houston and Pappadeaux's is great.

Barry

Hell we got two of em up here in the burbs of Chicago.

ahhhhhh....haven't had raw oysters in a long time and I live fairly close to the coast....one enchanted evening I'm sure:)

I went outside for 5 minutes, froze, came inside. It was 5 degrees F out there. I hate winter. That was my exciting Friday night. Wanna visit Wisconsin???

Downed bout a dozen mountain oyters(Deep fried of course)followed by a big ole plate of boiled crawdads(crawfish to the non arkys)after a meal like that I bit the end off a Senca Vega Torp,lit it off the side of the old pot bellied stove and opened a bottle of Post Families red muscadine wine,(Arkansas made)poured over ice in a mason jar. By the time i finished the wine could'nt tell which was the lit end of the gar,What a night!!!glad yours was great also.

..... (looking at clock) ....

- it's after 11:00 a.m. here - no report yet? -

... sounds like he wasted his money on the oysters ...

Jimmy ... not 11 yet at his place ... and his lack of commentary might be telling us he got more than his money's worth ...

Arkie, that sounds awesome. Last night, put on all clothes in my possession. It was warmer here than in Wisconsin, it was 8 F. Had one of them Tambor maduro bundle smokes and a Homebrewed Irish Spiced Ale. Went inside after loosing feeling in my nose.

Can't quite match that el, but mine wasn't bad. Wife was in a cooking mood so we grilled pork tenderloin with a tangerine rosemary sauce, roasted root veges, great basic salad and a decent zin. Build a fire in the outdoor fireplace and had a Panza double madero wih a glass of Lagavoulin(sp?)single malt. Life is indeed good!

Mean, you are a home brewer? Would be interested if you have an Irish ale you like. Just did one that came out pretty fruity. Probably fermented to warm.

Last night watched a couple movies "Signs" and "Windtalkers" and smoked a Monte Series V and a La Rosa Maduro next to the fire place. I can't keep the damn La Rosa's lit.
12 degrees outside last night.

Ate at a Ruby's Diner before going to the movies to see L of Rings 2 Towers. Afterward, went outside into the "nippy" mountain air in Chandler AZ; lit up a nicely aged VSG Corona Gorda and chased it with two fingers of tax and duty free Hennessy Cognac XO. The VSG provided volumes of smoke and even in the somewhat chilly night air the aroma coming off the cognac was very evident and nice. Next time, I'll have to substitute the VSG Sorceror for the Corona Gorda...

went to bed around 8:30 last night, with anticipation of my battle today with my first Camacho 11-18. Was a close fight. I'd call it a tie.

You must've had southern California oysters, X. I would've demanded my money back. lmao

Charlie, I am in far east Fort Worth, and so is the Pappadeaux where we ate.

The full report will have to wait until my memoirs are published, Steve, lol.
