    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    In Georgia Here in Georgia, 15 years olds are jail bait. Oh for the days when there was open season on 14 year olds. :o

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Casa Magna Hey! I smoked two of those last week. Store up in Macon has a couple of boxes and I pick up a few when I am in town. I didn't know the things were scarce...

    Cigar Smokers: Cutters and Lighters

    Colibri I read that the Colibri company went out of business -- just bankrupted and closed the doors. Maybe it had to do with all the warranty business they had to do. I have used the same duo burner Colibri for four years. Only had to send it in once when then kids stole it out of my case...

    Cigar Smokers: Cutters and Lighters

    Palio I was wondering if we were going to get to the Palio's any time soon. Just lay it on the table, stick in your cigar, and give it a click.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Thanks Thanks! I got this from the Wall Street Journal Column by Eric Felton. He's a maniac about getting back to the roots of a drink. The Martini with orange bitters that he touts as also being an original is darned tasty!

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Tonight's Burnt Offering Tonight a CAO Black. It is an exclusive for Cigar's International. Has the same earthy taste I get from an Aroma of Cuba, Genuine Counterfeit Cuban, Man of War, and most of the Perdomo's. For the price, a very nice smoke.

    Finally got an old Stetson 7X!

    All Those XXX's Sorry to be such a noob, but it seems that the more I read on this site the higher the xxx's become. We have 2x and 3x and 5x and now 7x. Obviously, the x is a discrete amount of beaver fir or density. Is it a linear progression or a proportionate one? At what point does the...

    Indy's Hat

    Fedora OCD I'm just blown away on all the passion spent to reproduce a hat! While I like the look of the Indiana hat on Indy, I don't really want to wear it myself. Maybe I'm too egotistical, but I'd rather look like me... might as well 'cause no one else sure wants to look like me!

    The Other Open Roads.....

    a very nice looking one. Something about the high crown just begs for a longer brim to balance things out. At 6'5", 250#, and 7 3/8 I look just silly in a brim smaller than 2.5" -- which makes scoring a hat on ebay almost impossible!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    They grade the closeness and quality of the weave. Above Grade 15 things get VERY pricey. I held a $2,500 hat when in the St Augustine store. The brim felt like fine linen. It took the weaver three months to make. Thanks for the props on the bow-tie. I have a lot of them! The shot below was...

    How to clean your hat.

    I use plain old wet wipes for my straw hats. At the end of the day, give the outside and inside a good cleaning with three or four of the things where your sweat has wet and dried. The wipe does not get the hat wet enough to matter and the surfactant in the wipe picks up the salt. You can...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Last Night A classic Manhattan made with rye, sweet vermouth, and orange bitters. Stirred, not shaken and poured into a martini glass fresh from the freezer. Paired it with a Romeo 1875 cigar after a Fillet Mignon dinner and grilled potatoes that had been infused with garlic and rosemary...

    In Support of Brick and Mortar Hat Shops

    Shopping in Person I would prefer to shop in person, but there are no shops carrying hats like we all like in South Georgia. It is either caps or cowboys or something made of velour in unspeakable colors. I do know a shop in St Augustine that carries a good line and I check them out when I...
