first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? "medium rare"? "well done"? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don't like how they taste. they're super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I'm in my early 20s so I'm getting used to some "acquired taste" things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.

Steaks are more a signifier of status than something actually good to eat. In my head steak, cigars and whiskey all fall into the same category of "manly" shit that is actually just miserable.

Whiskey tastes like fossilised underpants, cigars have no discernable flavour or fragrance and just burn my tongue and steaks taste like nothing regardless if its £1 or £100 and dry aged tastes like the steak was left behind a radiator and forgotten about. Anyone who has a different opinion is wrong

I love hexbear because we all roughly agree on some fundamentals and then I read a comment that feels beamed in from a world I’ll never know or experience

I get not liking whiskey. I fucking love scotch but I realize it's not for everyone. But cigars? There's a reason they're addictive lmao

Oh man, cigars are so damn good. I hate how enjoyable a good cigar with some nice whiskey or brandy is. Shit, even one of the jazz black & milds are nice occasionally.

and whiskey

Okay I'm gonna disagree with you here buddy

I like whiskey too, but it's clearly a niche taste for a specific kind of weirdo, and shouldn't be some symbol of masculinity any more than, say, having really specific tastes in ramen.

In truth I think tequila is the superior hard liquor.

Shut up I want the feel good cactus juice

Mezcal is the superior Mexican plant juice.

The only whiskey drink i like is an old fashioned but i feel like its more about the other ingredients that carry the cocktail then the whiskey itself. I could probably make one with rum which is the superior spirit.

Okay but I like the Smokey pain juice that makes me feel funny

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nuh uh not permitted, you got a license for that juice?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah right here

shows sideways drivers license

Rum which is the superior spirit.

Serious question - how is rum a superior spirit?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Cos it taste good and I can easily find high proof variants. Works well neat as well as in many cocktails and mixers and it makes me a pirate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Rum is my first love. I do think it's underrated among liquors.

Luckily, that keeps it affordable though.

Cigars and whiskey are why we need revolution, tho. The man treats must be given to all people, regardless of gender or strength.

My one vice other than coffee oooaaaaaaauhhh

I disagree. Cigars and whisky are amazing, although I prefer having them separately to enjoy my cigars better. As others said, they just shouldn't be considered "manly chud" shit. Everyone can enjoy these, but it doesn't mean everyone must enjoy them. It's okay if you don't like them, or the culture surrounding them, but when they're good, they're really good.

Buy Cuban cigars, support the Cuban Revolution.
