I just haven't purchased one because I'm guessing that it wrinkles the shirts pretty good.

My wife got me a Kenneth Cole Reaction bag to replace my briefcase (too rigid) and it works really well.

A muddler with “teeth” is used to tear apart fruit such as lemons, limes and any other being used in the recipe.

With proper care, your muddler will last a long time and make many cocktails. For muddlers with teeth-like prongs, a bar towel might not be able to do the trick. I carry a mini dish brush to get between the “teeth.” Rest assured, you will find it just as useful as your other tools.
For flat bottoms muddlers made of wood, make sure NOT to use a rough scoring pad, it will tear the fibers. The standard green scrubber works great! Make sure you oil it every 4-6 months depending on usage. I also use food grade mineral oil that can be purchased in the pharmacy section of any grocery store. Sometimes, after scrubbing the muddler clean, a good soak is in order. Soak for an hour or so, make sure you give it a good rinse with warm water.
Those are the tricks to keeping a healthy muddler.”

Which one? Aren't there a ton of different options in the Kenneth Cole Reaction bag?

Wood ones, while most stylish, is obviously more work than I'm willing to invest.

I love premium tequilas ........ this is a good video on Partida, and some mixes with muddled fruits and peppers:

I'm not a watch whore, because for the most part, I dislike wearing jewelry. But I did see a couple watches recently I liked:


Movado stainless steel / black carbon fiber.

I'm not a cigar connoisseur, although I do enjoy a cigar every couple months. I don't have particular tastes, and I don't find that the more expensive cigars has better flavor or "smokability." I have a box of cubans that just sit in the humidifier because I don't believe they are any better than cigars from other regions. That being said, I was gifted 5 cigars called Eileen's Dream. It's a flavored cigar, which I know most aficionados will scoff at, but I don't care. I have to say, this is one great cigar. I put those 5 to bed rather quickly, and a couple days ago, I found a cigarillo version at the cigar shop, which was great because I prefer cigarillos to the standard-sized cigars. From my understanding, they also make a pipe tobacco in the same flavor.

Eileen's Dream is a combination of Irish cream and white chocolate truffles. Our Irish cream is made from superior Irish whiskey, frothed cream and fresh coconut milk. White chocolate truffles subtly blend hazelnet paste, ground almonds, cocoa and vanilla extract. These flavors mix with mild Dominican tobaccos and a grade-one Cameroon wrapper to complete this five-star treat. Relax in the tranquility of Eileen's Dream, and let it lead you into an idyll of green grass and smiling emerald eyes.

Furniture made from rusted Soviet naval mines



Honestly, I had no idea where to put this. I would like to have it for sure. It's where I would develop a plan to take over the world.
