Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

[Dano2875]

The lounge that I’m a member of is also a cigar store. I pay a yearly fee for a private locker in the humidor that I can keep cigars in. Some people keep liquor bottles in their locker too. Both purchases from them and other sources. In our state, they can’t sell liquor, but in most places they have some sort of bar. Ours has nice furniture and tables to work at and multiple TVs for sports and what not.

What state are you in?

Nice car!! How does a cigar lounge work as a business sounds interesting.

Our lounge is also a cigar store as well with a really well stocked humidor. It’s in a City environment so not as much space as @DuckMan_11 has with his, or lockers for that matter. However the regulars are allowed to store their own private cigar boxes in the humidor for no charge. We have supple English leather chairs and several TVs, plus a full kitchen. No bottling fees and there’s only a minimum of one cigar purchase to enjoy the amenities.

New purchase for me, one of 4 new items in my life, felt like Christmas morning. I’ve been eyeing one of these for at least a year and finally pulled the trigger. Most I ever paid for a flashlight before ($70), hence why it took me so long to take the leap. My current daily carry (a keychain light), which I depend on every night, died on me, so what better time. It’s from one of the most reputable brands in the EDC flashlight community. Unfortunately it’s not MiUSA, as nothing really appealed to me in my search.

Olight S1R Baton II. It features an alluminum alloy body with 7 modes including a Turbo mode which goes all the way up to 1000 Lumens!!! Not bad for weighing only 1.8 ounces.

It has a magnetic back that can connect to it’s charger or anything metal you want to stick it to. It has a very sturdy belt clip that can also be attached to the brim of a hat. Check out that illumination.

Also non Filson related, but I have too many flashlights. For pure power, it’s hard to beat the Surefire Titan Plus, and I have a larger sizes for the bush, but I prefer nicer looking ones on a lanyard or if a clicky, with a clip. I’ll play around with some Reylights, Maracas, and Prometheus Beta CRv2s, all in various materials and finishes, which I sometimes use as gifts as well. Just scored a Prometheus Beta CRv2 Titanium in yesterday’s drop and am excited to get that.

Some Olights are great, like that one and the copper edition. Unless you are or are chasing Batman, no one needs 1000 lumens, but it sure is fun to play with.

Twenty years ago, when I was still in the newspaper business and smoking in restaurants and bars was still legal here in eastern Canada, editors getting off the night shift would congregate over steak and whiskey at a cigar bar called Churchill's. The Opinon section had its own table, and we were pretty opinionated!
Good smoke, good food and drink, great friends and good times. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I received my 257 back from Filson today. It was exactly as I expected it to be as far as the repairs go. One hole in the back repaired and two corners that had worn through. All in all great experience all around.

First post - been lurking - who did you contact at Filson as I have a padded 258 that needs some repair or did you use the repair form?

Yes I do. I’d say somewhere in the middle. Medium/steel grey.

I used the the repair form.
They sent an email with my RA number, a packing list and a label. I was communicated with when it arrived and when it was coming back. It was so quick that I did ask customer service via the chat if there were any issues and she was able to look and tell it was completed. UPS was late because UPS is UPS but that’s out of Filson’s control.
It was very easy and completely worth it.

Garment bag?

 

[FilsonDude]

Garment bag?

Nope
might be harder to guess if you’ve never seen one in person before

 

[seven20]

I figured it couldn’t be that easy, but I can’t not guess..

Edit: is this a new addition?
