“Listen carefully.  The teachers of the past have said that people are complete as they are. Each one is perfected; not even the width of one eyebrow hair separates them from this perfection.  All sentient beings fully possess the wisdom and virtues of the Buddha.  But because they are overcome by delusive thoughts and attachments, they cannot manifest this.”

Ever tried to find a cigar ring gauge guide?  Sure, there are lots out there, but they all seem to stop at a ring gauge of 54.  I don’t know about you, but 54 tends to be one of the thinner sizes of cigars I usually smoke.  So, rather than complaining, we decided to do something about it and created our own.  Our guide goes from tiny 28 gauge cigars up to the more manly 64 ring size.

This week, the guys review another cigar from the J.C. Newman Company and take a look at a single barrel expression of Jack Daniels.

HH58 – El Baton Double Torpedo & Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey

I’ve had the Jack Daniels single barrel, and agree fully with their take on it here. I’ve also had an El Baton before, but not the Double Torpedo. Not sure I will be able to find it around here.
