What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
My wife bought me a CAO America Humidor for Christmas. Two years ago she bought be a CAO Gold Humi, so I guess it is becoming a tradition.- warbird

Borsalino Religious Collection?
Yes, thanks. Though now its not just those two groups anymore but subsets in them. In general though that is a very succinct way to put it. "You don't say much my friend, but when you do it's to the point, and I salute you for it." :) -
Borsalino Religious Collection?
I think he is talking about the Mennonites he has in his area of Mexico, where he lives now, not the Mennonites of PA where he grew up. Yes up there they wear black hats that actually are closer to the original Boss of the Plains Stetson than to a Fedora, and straw hats. I'd imagine the heat... -

Guns and shooting advice?
Actually I need to correct something here. It is true the NRA membership dues are mainly used for the purpose of the publications and general office requirements. The NRA Foundation handles a great deal of the training, competitions and education programs, the women in shooting and child...- warbird

Guitars
My latest That crappy blue background does not do justice to the guitars color. It is green toward the center and gets more blue as it moves out. Reminds me of the ocean. It an Epiphone Les Paul Limited Edition. This is the higher end epi and has great similarities of action...- warbird

Your Favorite Sandwiches?
I prefer the traditional Cuban sammich. Terrific. Ironic name, because every Cuban sammich I've had in Ybor City was traditional including the Columbia, I never had one like that listed. Not that itr sounds bad. I also remember having a sandwich at Timberland Lodge on MT Hood that I...- warbird

Anyone like my new Ray Bans?
Sunglasses are a way of life for me. I am sensitive to light and w/o sunglasses in bright sun I get migraines. Si keep several pairs of glasses around. The problem I have with almost every pair of shades I see is that they do not fold up and fit nicely in your pocket. I hate that bulge they...- warbird

Smoking Back in the Day
That's a bit of over simplification though in my book. That is the excuse they used is a better way to put it. In truth they made far far more from the colonies than the cost of the war to them. For them the war was indeed an investment, not some good deed to protect their loved subjects...- warbird

They drive me to drink...
A lot of those women at that time tried to look as plain and unattractive as possible. The victorians were extraordinarily prudish. It wasn't just alcohol either, it was also tobacco. Queen Victoria herself hated cigars in particular and refused to allow her family to smoke in her house At...- warbird

How to incorporate high-tech items into your vintage lifestyle?
A hero of mine as well. I have spent considerable time in Alaska, been to every pat of the state and I can tell you one thing. There no way I'd ever want to try that. Even if I like my isolation that much would drive me insane. But, also even for the biggest survivalist out there, there's...- warbird

Anyone like my new Ray Bans?
I love old Ray Bans. My favorite are the Clubmasters. But they came in two sizes, one much larger than the other. I like the smaller ones which are much harder to find. I also like the Tortoise Wayfarers. One point to aging them, is they are at least a decade old if they say B&L. Bausch...- warbird

Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?
As much as I like Peter, and I have known him a long time nearly as long as I've known Ron Paul, he has not been all right. He was right on a number of economic fronts including the housing market, and the coming credit card crisis,but has been wrong a lot too: He failed to see the dollar...- warbird

Hat smell...
Then I'd say it's sweat and dirt from decades of age. You guys may just have a sensitive smeller too. All of them have a bit of odor, especially with steam but not usually much with water. Wool smells much more than fur unless it is dirty. It's the kind of dirt you don't necessarily see... -
Where to find Akubras in Chicago?
As has already been said, if your concern is money then with the value of the dollar to the Aussie Dollar, the Akubra is by far the best value out there. eriod. Same for Biltmore as Dobbs, except I'm not sure I would put the Biltmore any better than the Stetson from my experience, and usually... -
Where to find Akubras in Chicago?
Hats Direct sells Akubra hats, they are not in lieu of Akubra hats. What he is saying is that Akubra has taken a large market share form the other mass manufacturers in the fedora world due to their exceptional quality to cost. Dobbs and Stetson are both owned by HATCO, along with several... -
Hat smell...
I've never had that problem with anything but wool hats. Could be your sweat and the dirt from wear just coming out when it gets wet. Maybe a naptha bath or a good spray of Lysol would help. -
Stetson Pinnacle
It certainly does cost considerably more for an all beaver blank. I agree that you can't sell them for !40 and make money. That said, I wouldn't pay for an all beaver cowboy what Stetson wants for one or some of the custom hat makers either. Stetson makes a quality hat, especially their...
