    Coffee, grind your own?

    Grind beans in the morning. Buy a small French press. You can get hot water anywhere, so you never have to be without your fix. :D

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    InsolentPuppy: very nice hat, and I LOVE the glasses. May I ask what they are? I had a pair of RX Clubmaster lookalikes, but I managed to break them a few months ago. :(

    Coffee, grind your own?

    I get my beans from a local roaster who has a constantly changing variety of excellent single origin beans. You specify the roast level you want, and they roast when you order. They take PayPal and mail them to me across town here in Hong Kong, which takes around 24 hours. They have an excellent...

    Cuban Cigar

    It may be best to send them home so they don't get confiscated when you fly back. :) Sounds like I need to make a trip to the Middle East at some point!

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    An older woman said I looked like a gentleman in my buntal trilby.

    Cuban Cigar

    Here in Hong Kong, all we get is Cubans (even at 7-11)! I don't think I could find a US-market Dominican (aside from in one of my humidors) anywhere in town.We do get some Dutch and American imports in terms of cheaper cigaritos (cigarillos), and Davidoff do have Dominican offerings, but it...

    Panama Hat articles from the web

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcPuVin61yc This hatter lost his voice from chemicals used in hat production: I believe his hats were considered among the finest in Cuenca. Looks like he was a very sprightly guy! He's passed on, but his family have taken over the business.

    Show us your Switchblades

    This is a Filipino-made balisong I had custom-made for sale, but then couldn't bear to part with! Siberian mammoth ivory and Indian damascus with the kris grind. The craftsman who made this knife is definitely in the top three (of five) balisong makers left in the Philippines today!

    Show us your Switchblades

    My three Italian stilettos and a couple of Spanish navajas. I keep my stilettos in the Philippines, where they're legal: balisongs are no problem here, but the autos are a no-no.

    Show us your Switchblades

    I actually sell handmade balisongs and other Filipino blades full-time, seven days a week! I do have a few nice Maniago switchblades in my collection, including a snakewood swingguard I'm very fond of. :)

    Anybody ever buy Panama's from this seller???

    I looked at ecua's sombrero again this morning and was sorely tempted to wear it. Instead, I picked up this palm leaf (?) hat and walked to work with it on. I had a smirk on my face since I knew I was going to get a lot of interested looks. It's a Monday morning, this is one of the oldest, most...

    Anybody ever buy Panama's from this seller???

    I was thinking about starting a thread about ecuacorp right when you started yours, fedoralover, so it worked out perfectly. I'm somewhat tempted to keep the hat because I like it. Bob offered me a deal on a nice llano Cuenca caballero, however, and I just paid for it, so I can't justify buying...

    Anybody ever buy Panama's from this seller???

    Yup, the negative feedback they've received and the private auctions should have been red flags. Ah well, at least this thread will come up anytime anyone Googles ecuacorp.

    Anybody ever buy Panama's from this seller???

    Well, ecuacorp isn't happy with me. They insist I got what I paid for for my $90, even if it's not what was pictured or described in the eBay listing. He said no to the 50% refund unless I take back my feedback. I told him to give me his return shipping address so I can get the hat right out to...

    That's a very confident statement: I like that! I actually did shoot you an e-mail a few hours ago.

    Bob, did you mean I could get a grade 1 in brisa AND one in llano for $90 shipped?
