    World War 2 smoke?

    Back in the day I owned a Tobacco Shop in Kent Ohio. Tobacco must be well cared for to age with grace. Otherwise it just gets old. Unhumidified tobacco will be stale and nasty after just three weeks, and horrible after 70 years. Don't ever open those Luckies.:eek:

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I am very happy with my Big Ben watch on my wrist. You see, some of us over a certain age need a big watch with big numbers so we can read it! It isn't poor taste, it's necessity.

    New DB Suit, for $70

    As Will Boehlke said in his blog “A Suitable Wardrobe”, it’s not acceptable to be insecure about when it’s OK to wear a pocket square. It’s always OK. If a man is wearing a jacket with an open breast pocket, the pocket should have a square in it. A well dressed man should always have a pocket...
