    What are you drinking right now?

    Wiser 18. This, and Wiser Legacy were my favorite drinks this summer. Have gone through several bottles of each. I've found that it's true for me, that peaty scotch isn't that interesting in the hot weather (even sitting in an air conditioned room).

    Finally, got a Hermes leather tie !!

    Do people wear leather ties? I don't recall ever having seen it done.

    Do you guys ever pack a lunch to work? Any good lunch ideas?

    At one point, I got tired of eating meat sandwiches, pizza, take-out and restaurants. For about 2 months, packed PB&J almost every day. Eventually got tired of it, but saved a ton of money and it was easy to make, easy to carry, and easy to store at work. Also, didn't have to stand around the...

    Question about Allen Edmonds

    These were new when you got them? The sole has the look of the after effects of wearing in the rain or walking on wet ground, but the stitching seems problematic after only 7 wears - not sure how you managed to do that - rough terrain? I think it'll hold up structurally, but if you don't like...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Forty Creek Barrel Select. While it's ok, probably won't be getting another bottle. As far as Canadian whisky, I guess I was expecting it to be on the level of the Confederation Oak Reserve or the Double Barrel, both of which are excellent and can hold their own against Wiser's 18 & Legacy, but...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Tomintoul 27 and after some nasty period of adjustment, Van Winkle Lot B. Note to self: do not mix scotch & bourbon in the same night.

    Best high-line dark chocolate?

    You are being disingenuous here. .... So get off my case buddy, and think the 'processing' through before pressing the send button. First, I don't know why you think I'm on your case. I even started by saying you're entitled to your preferences, and I clearly stated my preferences. Second...

    Best high-line dark chocolate?

    Personally I like my chocolate the same way as I like my coffee. Dark, NO MILK, maybe a little sugar to highlight some aspects of the taste profile. Creams, praline, and ganache? For the 'palate bereft'. The higher the quality, the simpler it should be. You're entitled to your preferences, of...

    Best high-line dark chocolate?

    Politely, none of those places you mentioned make chocolate. They're candy makers. I think that's mostly true, which is why I specified "chocolatiers". I think Torres make his own chocolate in his "chocolate factory" - which is a pretty neat place to visit in SoHo, if you haven't been there...

    Barcelona?

    Life's too short to stay in Louisiana forever. That makes an amazing amount of sense. Good luck with the Barcelona thing, and if it's not Barcelona, have a backup. I spent a couple days in Barcelona (a long time ago) and also spent a couple days driving through Louisiana (also a long time...

    Tocqueville Restaurant in New York

    Went there about a month ago and surprisingly enjoyed it, given that it was very easy to get a table. Foie gras was very good. Had read reports about uneven service, but I thought service was good. Went to EMP about a year ago (?), and at that time, I thought it was typical high-end NYC...

    Best high-line dark chocolate?

    I've tried many of the high end chocolatiers in NYC, including Kee's, Teuscher, MdC, etc, and at that level of chocolate, the quality of chocolate is generally excellent, it's what they do with it that differentiates them. And while I like pieces here and there from each of those places, my...

    Spiderweb cracks on Shoe

    I've seen that once, on a new pair of Barker Blacks. It was definitely the leather, particularly around the brogueing on the toe. I could tell it was the leather because you could lift up the top layer with a pin and see the layer underneath.

    Spending $1000 on 2 pairs of shoes

    I live in Puerto Rico, and no local store carries either AE, Alden or any other of the brands. From the AE website: Clubman Fm \t Ave Ponce De Leon #1116 Santure Branch link to site with additional locations in PR: http://www.prclubman.stirsite.com/page/page/7480000.htm

    Barcelona?

    I'd definitely like to visit before moving. Hopefully we can arrange that. You don't speak Spanish and you've never visited and you're going to move there? Your wife is from there perhaps? You are a missionary perhaps? Otherwise, what are you thinking, man?

    Britain's Best Dressed Real Man 2010 - Selling his prize off piece by piece...

    Some woman comes on here and defends her boyfriend with literacy, reasonableness and (probable) honesty, and you all swoon. It's disgusting, is what it is. This is exactly why women should be banned from men's clubs.

    NEVER sell stuff to people you know

    don't encourage the OP's ***** moves Agreed. This is the fundamental problem with modern America. All these feelings of entitlement and lack of responsibility for consequences. ***** slap due for both roommate (lack of responsibility) and the OP (perpetuating the problem). For the good of the...

    Spending $1200 on shoes

    OP you aren't making much sense. And if you are hellbent on ordering Aldens without ever having tried them on, just take a guess to your size and do it. Regardless you will have a good chance of having ordered the wrong size. This makes sense. I could understand insisting on Aldens if you...

    Disney World...

    Unofficial Guide to Disney World - buy it and follow the time maps/suggestions. It will literally save you a couple hours of waiting on line, each and every day. As far as I know, there is no VIP pass (although they have it at Universal). Disney has the FASTPASS system, which is not the same...
