These cherries are great in a manhattan

There’s not much that can beat a good old fashioned or Manhattan IMO, but if you want something that’s not to bad try this mixer.
The best Manhattan I’ve ever had was ‘The Alchemy’ craft drink bar on a cruise ship. The Russian girl that made them used blueberry. By far the best mixed drink I’ve ever had.

Speaking of gun bottles, an AK model.

Then saw something that reminded me of our friend. I’ll let you guess who it is.

A Mexican flag drink:
Fresh lime juice, quality tequila, and clamato.
Drank in sequence. Lime, tequila and then clamato.
It’s not a shot thing but a sip of each in moderation.

The cigars....#1. The price is waaaaaaay to cheap for REAL Cubans. #2. I have never seen real Cuban boxes with clear plastic or glass tops/lids. Glass tops /lids are the first sign of counterfeit.

My guess would be the pictures were taken somewhere in the Caribbean. I have heard stories when in the Caribbean they offer glass top boxes of counterfeit Cubans.

After looking at them, the labels on the cigars is a key indicator that they are fake, compared them to a few I have and some articles on the net. I’m not a cigar Afficianato but have had a few knock offs that weren’t terrible
