Squire Select: Jack Daniels & The Manhattan

A pipe is the perfect complement to a good meal and a good drink is the kind companion to a good pipe. But these days there are so many options to pull from when walking down your local package store. Here we pair beverages with pipe tobacco to find an ideal combination to enhance the enjoyment of both. This week: Jack Daniels & The Manhattan

Pipe Question: I bought my latest batch of Chestnut in the 14oz tub. I know that old drugstore blends often come in such tubs. Will that keep my tobacco fresh, or do I need to get a big ol' Mason Jar to transfer it into? - Fr Isaac

Quickfire Questions: 

What do you hate the most: 

• Hunger, Cold, Loneliness, Boredom, Being ignored 

If you had to live with a ‘curse’ which would you prefer? 

• Werewolf, Zombie post death, Vampire, Mummie (which is basically just a more fashionable zombie thb) 

Confession Time: 

• Did you ever cheat in College, Highschool or otherwise and if so how? 

Listener Feedback: (CM Gilbert) I’ve recently, in the last two months, returned to my pipe and even rescued a Comoy’s and a Savinelli estate pipe from eBay. I have really enjoyed the banter between the two of you. It brings the genuine and insightful to a generally superfluous and hectic world. I have really enjoyed all of the shows but the ones so far that have brought a proper pause were the “From the Library” episodes on the books “The Miracle of Mindfulness” and “Grief Observed”. Just so you know, Douglas Gresham was Jack’s adopted son who lived with him after his mother’s death. You can find some of his talks on YouTube. He had a unique perspective being a young man with one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Thanks for helping my commute to and from a difficult job.
