I haven't gotten into sharpening it with the stones, I send it out for that, but obviously it has to be stropped prior to use. In a world where everything is faster, faster, faster, it's almost like meditating to slow it down for a couple minutes and perform a quality shave.

Where did you get that?

So jealous of some of the house stuff. It's tough to know I'm never going to be able to afford that kind of stuff :icon17:

I thought this was pretty cool, a personalized embosser. $60 doesn't seem like a bad price:

I hear ya, although you can get some great ideas from those showcases, and make something similar with less expensive components.

I would hope not if you're spending ~$375 on that blue label. You have to enjoy every taste of that to the fullest!

At some point, I am going to invest the money in those whiskey stones:

That's King George Blue Label, about $500 a bottle. I have a bottle that I got at Christmas time but I haven't been game to crack it open yet. I've recently had a few bottles of the Glenlivet 18 year old that were quite tasty. And if you think King George is expensive check out the 70 year old bottle, only £13000's or about $21000.

I tried, was never able to cultivate a taste for Scotch ..................... now Bourbon? Hell yea, give me a good bottle of single barrel aged and I am in heaven :p I do appreciate what you Scotch drinkers have there though :tup:

I know you are a high end Tequila fan like I am, have you tried the Partida I listed on the previous page? I am curious to try it.

I'm not sure I'd ever go buy a high end tequila, but I would definitely partake in a small amount if someone had some to try it out. It's not that I don't believe there aren't high quality tequilas, but when I'm purchasing high end liquor and I'm staring at all the varieties, tequila just loses out. Although, I'd probably be more likely to try a high end tequila than a high end rum. o_O

I think it's like any other "good" libation, "if" you have no history or developed taste for it, then you just don't know. The average beer drinker or non-drinker would not know, nor appreciate the difference between a cheap bourbon versus a single barrel aged version............... same holds true for Tequila as well. If you developed a taste for it and started experimenting, you'd appreciate a finer variety more. :tiphat:

Come visit, and I'll turn you on to some good tequila :tup:

Yeah, the best tequila I've probably had is ~$50 bottle of patron reposado. Not exactly high class.

That's a good tequila, but not equal to a really nice high end anejo, IMO.

Who makes a good brand? I can't imagine the patron stuff is all that good.

Curious as well. Patron is the best I've had but it seems to be what I like to consider "college caliber" alcohol.

I like Don Julio and Don Eduardo, but there are many good ones in the $50 to $100 dollar range, and some nice ones under $50, $35 to $50 range. Try this for a little help:

The don julio practically looks like tar when compared to the patron anejo :icon17:
