I was traveling through Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, and being the bourbon drinker that I am, I stopped off at the Maker's Mark distillery in Loretto. I was lucky enough to actually meet Bill Samuels, the President of Maker's Mark, and can I truly tell you that Southern hospitality is like nothing I've ever experienced. Good ol' Bill invited me into the distillery and his home, handed me Maker's Mark on the rocks and a cigar. The cigar was a Maker's Mark signature... Long leaf tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic from Cuban seed. Each size cigar is hand made just like Maker's bourbon, and aromatically seasoned with Maker's Mark. It is sealed in a glass tube and hand-dipped in the signature red wax to preserve the flavor. I suggest you check them out on the website... http://www.makersmarkgiftshop.com/line_cigars.htm . It is quite an impressive collection.

Havent been to the distillery but I smoked the cigars before. Got em as a gift in a personalized box. Very smooth, just like the bourbon.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of fans of flavored cigars on this board.

Love the bourbon, could do without the flavored cigar. Why smoke your bourbon when you can drink it instead!

Yup.

Is it just a coincidence that the first two posters both have "Bourbon" in their names and that they both joined on the same day? Do you two work for Makers Mark?

Hmm, it is kind of odd isnt it.

It'll take a lot more shills than two to convince us that Maker's Mark is a good cigar

And furthermore, the only two threads these two have contributed to since joining are touting Markers Mark. Plus they always respond to each others post in less than 10 minutes. Odd? Or maybe, its the same person talking to himself? Nothing wrong with Makers Mark bourbon, but this could be a shameless way of using the boards for commercial purposes.
