I didn't try to go in, and sorry, don't know the answers to your questions. I've only been there twice. It's 180 miles up the Natchez Trace Parkway, a beautiful, but slow drive from me.

Thanks for clarifying Kristian, I thought so, but wasn't sure. Yes, I went to the house, it's not much. I did it because I was in Tupelo. If you get bored in Tupelo, you can go see Elvis' birthplace. If you get bored again, you can go see Elvis' birthplace...not much to do in Tupelo.

Not me.

Did I mention I've been to Elvis' birthplace? How far from Canada are you? NYC or state?

Industrial rum is made from the fermentation of molasses, a by-product of the production of sugar from cane. Agricultural rum is made from fermented sugar cane juice. Like Mount Gay Sugar Cane Rum in the thread below.

Bought this bottle ($15.99) while in South Carolina, along with 4 year old Barbancourt and 4 year old Flor de Caña. Light brown, almost yellow in colour, this rum has a very high alcohol content taste and aroma. The flavour is also somewhat sharp and overwhelming to the tastebuds. The jury is still out on this one, more later.

Yes, I think that comment was very appropriate.

Drove across the river from Vicksburg into Louisiana, and bought a bottle of the dark (86 proof) for $15.99. They didn't have the light. The dark is cloudy, and even has a little foam. Didn't have much flavour, to me, with a beer-like aftertaste (I don't care for beer). It's not bad, but nothing spectacular, either. But, I'm sure I'll finish the bottle...eventually.

It was in response your statement of "clam strips won't do..." that I said "Good call et c...." However, as a substitute for clam strips, those fish are readily available off most any coast in the world, including Texas.

Good call. Clam strips aren't clam at all, but shark or ray. :confused:

Have been to Hyman's and A. W. Shucks, among others, so far. Both had wonderful Fried Green Tomatoes. But, Hyman's is more touristy. A. W. Shucks has wonderful GRILLED fish, with generous portions. I had the grilled grouper.

OK, so it's NOT true, at least according to a similiar thread in the Cigar Family Clubhouse Room. :confused:

Santiago de Cuba Blanco Santiago de Cuba Añejo Santiago de Cuba Extra Añejo (this is the 15 year old)

Thanks.

Flor de Cana Centenario (12 years) -- AMAZINGLY good, AND LOOKS THAT WAY, from your photos

Topped my similar thread for you. So many of the DISTRIBUTORS are located in Florida. Think that is the reason the selection is so good?

Now going to Charleston, South Carolina instead of Little Rock. Restaurant Suggestions?

Rats, that trip cancelled, but now going to Charleston, SC in lieu of Little Rock.

Wish we could join ya'll. Well, perhaps one day.

Sure here it is, THANK YOU! mikey Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: April 2002 Posted: May 29 2002,21:54 Bolivar- All the previously listed places will have seafood of some sort on the menu. The only "seafood restaurant" I can steer you towards is Anderson's Cajun Wharf; we haven't eaten there in some time. The main thing to remember about seafood here is that the population of the Little Rock area is only about 250,.000, and we are about 350 miles from the Gulf. There are any number of places serving our native seafood: catfish(fried, of course). When I eat barbeque, it's at the Whole Hog Cafe or Corky's(a franchise of the Memphis restaurant). As far as cigar-friendly, I can only steer you toward somewhere that offers outdoor dining: Capers, Brave New Restaurant, Casa Manana; there are some others that do not come to mind. I have a limited basis for comparison, but I have always enjoyed Star of India(Indian, obviously). Will you be travelling outside of Little Rock? Hot Springs(60 miles away) has some pretty good restaurants, but I can't speak from experience. Other well-regarded restaurants: Restaurant 1620 Andre's Doe's Eat Place(a favorite of campaign workers and press during the 1992 presidential campaign; known for large steaks in a seedy atmosphere) If you want to look at some only slightly critical capsules, check the Arkansas Times. Please post something about your experiences here after your visit. Will do mikey, thanks again. Good suggestions. I grew up across the river in Greenville, Mississippi, home of Doe Signa and the original Doe's Eat Place, and the original Catfish Farmer. Long before the presidential campaign, "Slick Willy" used to come over to the original Doe's to eat.

Thanks, Razorback mikey! BBQ is good, love seafood (no Ozark Mountain Oysters, please ) Cigar friendly would be nice, if you know.

'Bout time

"aside from lounging on beautiful beaches sipping rum cocktails, there doesn't appear to be a great deal more attraction for tourists." Add in cigars, and it sounds pretty good to me.

Thank you, will hook up with some friends there, and perhaps bring back some recommendations.
