Summary: 5 Stars
Just kidding about the floor. You won't want to put any shooting tequila in these glasses. If you want to shoot, stick to your shooters and cheap tequila. If you enjoy sipping tequila by itself or with nice a plate of carnitas, these are the glasses for you. I received two sets for Christmas 2010 and have not been disappointed one little bit. I went out and bought two bottles of my favorite tequilas after I received them, both anjeos. The first is Jose Cuervo (keep reading) Reserva de la Familia and the other is 4 Copas. These are two very different, both high end, anjeos that you enjoy even more so when served in these glasses. With the narrow bowl, you can get more of the aromas from the tequila without the burst of alcohol you would get from a wider bowl. This allows me to enjoy the aroma and full flavor of the tequila with each sip.
As far as the durability of these glasses? I haven't tested them for durability nor will I do so. Like anything you value, treat them kindly. Like other reviewers have said, wash and dry the bowl while gently holding the bowl and wash and dry the stem while gently holding the stem. That being said, I ran these through the dishwasher before I used them the first time and they came out great. But I was careful in stacking them too.
And finally, a tip if you want to find some high end tequila at a mid level price, go to a store that rhymes with bostco. I paid 75.00 for the bottle of 4 Copas Anjeo at a discount liquor store. For about 35.00 I tried a 1 liter bottle of Kirkland Anjeo. Same deep color, same rich aroma, same sipping quality, and you get more too. Tequila!!!
