I mean, I’d say it’s the second best therapy. The best therapy is wrapped in some sort of lingerie 😉

Noticed the extensive use of Chesterfield furniture looking up "The East India, Devonshire, Sports and Public Schools' Club" for reference since I'm going for a 1920's, English Gentlemen's style finished in a Medievial Dark Academia decor when done. The Chesterfield's and club chairs and old leather bound books are ubiquitous to this style of room. I had to have at least two pieces of Chesterfield like this (couch and green wingback in my photo) along with my 1920's club style chairs for my room, this was very deliberate. The back wall with the window will be a wall to wall/floor to ceiling bookcase packed with 19th century and older books, I collect antique books too. My walls will be similar to these as well. Interesting? I have already procured a couple of old desk lamps like the one above.

Ho God I love the snow too, the kids and the dog would be so thrilled if we had only half of that 🤩 On the other hand I definitely hope we don't get any in Paris given the powers that be never invested in any equipment... Two inches of snow and everything's paralysed, such a shame...

ST Dupont will hit the jackpot if they sell 20 of them.

Scalp cuts bleed something awful. I wouldn't bust balls over anyone's injury. Bad karma. I hope it heals up for you, Ken. If not a stitch will do wonders and lessen any scaring.

Biggest snowfall ever in November here on Saturday. I love the snow and hope we get bunches more this winter.

Lovely 😬

Hamlet is getting into the swing....

Published by no name? AI generated shlop? Briley is the writer of their other cigar articles. Perhaps this one too. He's got his own cigar pod. And he's quite a big deal even if he does say so himself. Right on botl! Anyone know the pod?

Miss me some Canadian snow.

I figured if I could reach one person here, I've done my job!

That's one bold statement 🤔

agreed. port, good rum and whisky also. anything but dry red wine for me.

oh please. just don't leave us hanging.

when i was studying/working in London, i had reciprocal membership with the Caledonian Club, which i rarely used, and The East India, Devonshire, Sports and Public Schools' Club, which i used a lot. wonderful place. would often see Keith Miller dining there for lunch with his old mates.

Couldn't help myself.😅 Full day today but I will find some time for further digs later 👍

good lord. in terms of celebrity crap that i could not care about, hard to think of much that tops this.

so your trip is going that well?

Disclaimer: Friends, I don't really know what to make of this other than it's an over-the-top marketing scheme (John)... S.T. Dupont Introduces $70,000 Jackpot Lighter November 28, 2025 - Charlie Minato Over the last few years, S.T. Dupont has combined lighters and watchmaking for a series inspired by a casino. These items, which are functional lighters, also feature a working casino game. Its first model was simply called Casino and had a spinning roulette wheel, the second was Lucky Skull, which had three small dice, and the newest is Jackpot, which has a slot machine. The S.T. Dupont Haute Creátion Jackpot measures 2.6 inches tall x 1.8 inches wide and .93 inches thick. As far as the lighter, it has a double soft flame, but that’s not really why someone would buy the lighter. On the front of the lighter’s body is a miniature slot machine that features six different icons: 7, Cherries, Crown, Diamond, Double Bar and the Dupont D logo. On the right is a faux lever arm with a red lacquer button. Pushing the button powers a modified watch movement that spins the slot machine’s three wheels. That movement is visible via a sapphire glass crystal window. Nearly every other part of the lighter is covered in casino images and sayings like: BIG WIN, PLAY TO WIN, and 777. While there is an “INSERT COIN” icon, there’s no way to insert anything to pull the lever. And while you don’t have to insert a coin to spin the wheels, the lighter costs $69,950. It’s offered in four colorways that are identical, other than the colors and materials: S.T. Dupont Haute Creátion Jackpot Multicolor Lacquer S.T. Dupont Haute Creátion Jackpot Palladium S.T. Dupont Haute Creátion Jackpot Palladium/Black Lacquer S.T. Dupont Haute Creátion Jackpot Yellow Gold Like S.T. Dupont’s iconic Ligne 2 lighter, it pings when opened. Each lighter is technically limited to 88 pieces, though they are made-to-order. As part of that process, it takes six months from ordering for S.T. Dupont to deliver the lighter. Update — The original version of this story said that pulling the lever activated the slot machine, the lever does not actually move. Pushing the button activates the slot machine.

New Habanos Specialist Store Opens in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam November 30, 2025 - Jorge Tapies After opening their first Habanos Specialist in Vietnam in 2019 and La Casa del Habano in 2021, Avanti Group celebrated their 6th anniversary with the opening of a new Habanos Specialist in Ho Chi Minh City, their 13th retail location. The group, led by the fearless team of Sami Alrayhani, Daria Spitsyna and Thuy Thu Van, celebrated both occasions in style, with a sumptuous opening ceremony and abundant cigars, whisky and live music. Following their proven success model, the three-story, 400 square meter shop is wrapped in a classic and elegant façade with interiors to match any boutique in New York or Paris. With a large walk-in humidor, a massive display of spirits, private rooms, a cigar lounge and a terrace, the shop is a testimony to the growth of the cigar business in Vietnam as well as Avanti’s bet on the future. But more important than the location and space, what makes their shops special is the personal attention to detail, professionalism and quality of service. But they do not plan slow down. They are scheduled to open a new location in the beach resort city of Nha Trang in early December 2025 as they continue their breakneck speed expansion plan. We wish them good luck.
