    RUM?!

    Hi DanieDones, Your Pyrat XO is a non-traditional rum. But as non-traditional rums go, Pyrat XO is probably the best value in that class. Tony

    Is anyone NOT down on 'fashion suits'?

    Hi, I like to wear clothes that both exhibit a timeless style and are appropriate for the occasion. And I'm not just talking about suits. To me, wearing something that is a fashion trend or exhibits an extreme fashion trend of an earlier time, is like making the statement "Hey, look at...

    Bread, the staff of life...

    My Mom's, Maria's Italian corn bread Hi, I've been eating this Italian corn bread type of thing ever since I was a little kid. It's very tasty, and goes well with a hearty meal. There was never a formal recipe for this stuff, Mom just sort of put in the amounts she thought looked about...

    Bread, the staff of life...

    Hi, I second the suit and shoe advice above, but if I were you I'd go with some less formal black loafers right now. Tony

    Stetson Surplus

    Hi, I just bought a Stetson Saxon at Bencraft Hats in NYC. This is the third hat I bought from them, and I still can't get over their great service. Those guys will pretty much turn the place upside down to help you in any way they can. And there's no pressure at all; you can just poke...

    Booze and the war years

    I remember reading somewhere that before the war, Scotch wasn't very popular in America and considered vastly inferior to Irish Whiskey. If I remember correctly, during the war, Scotch was easier for service men to get in England, and so it became a familiar drink to Americans on both sides of...

    Worlds Oldest Champagne: 1772-1785

    Madeira is the only wine that I know of in existence that could possibly last over 200 years. History also records Falernium (most notably from 121 BC) as being just as long lived. Both wines are/were of a high alcohol content and very rich in flavor. Tony
