Re: Happy birthday RumRunner!
Good birthday to you, old chap. May you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil realizes you've drained his bottle.

Re: Zaya 12
Indeed this rum is of the most evocative nature...I differ on one small point...I find it salacious rather than selacious. You'll forgive the oversight, I hope. Occasionally, the trapeze is walked without the benefit of a net, or spell check. Please forgive the straight-forward answer (little press...

Zaya 12
What say you of this rum, ladies and gentlemen? It's been a favorite of mine for several years now. Granted, it is no Ron Zacapa Centenario 23. And granted, my varied tastes for rum generally tend to gravitate toward the sweet earthiness of Guatemalan persuasion. This Zaya, she is a sultry and selac...

A Brief Treatise Toward Peckish
Cuisine and the pursuit of taste are by nature amongst the most paramount of refined vices, as the stomach branches boldly forth into the mind. A simple meal evolves to inspire expression through science, philosophy, even the intangible spirituality. Without quoting Brillat-Savarin or the charmingly...

.375 Holland & Holland Cocktail
Presented here is a simple libation that is anything but. While Mrs. Badfellow entertains the ladies with Kemun tea and sugary tidbits upon the verandah, I generally gather the gents barside within my lounge to speak easily and knock about the various bottles at their disposal into a virtuous sport ...

Re: Your dream bar
Esteemed Senator. I find your South Seas proposal most agreeable. The only addition I can think of to complete the ensemble would be that the servers be nubile women of indigenous breed adorned simply in grass skirts. Indeed, sir. Indigenous nubile beauties bearing tray after tray of potent nectars...

Re: Your dream bar
I tip my hat to the warm reception. Now, if I may briefly put another spin on this dream bar. An entirely different establishment, albeit much toward the same goal. The bar is largely open air, nestled beach side upon the South Pacific. The feel is a peculiar melange of Polynesian tiki, high class C...

Re: The Art of the Pipe shall not be lost
Here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a spectacular view of the 3rd level of the Trophy Case of Vice. It's a simple, straight forward set up. A guest (or more often myself) is struck by the urge for pipe, and they are thus free to indulge themselves in whatever mannet they see fit. If you're feeling i...

Re: The Art of the Pipe shall not be lost
Thank you kindly in return for suggesting the read. I too maintain a modest collection of the seasoned woods. I occasionally find sport in a safari to the thrift stores, and as old gentlemen tend to pass away, one may bag a rare fedora or quality pipe on the second hand savannas. A photo shall be co...

The Art of the Pipe shall not be lost
Pipe smoking has gone into obscurity for several long decades now. Several long, long decades into obscurity. Crowded out by the convenience of cigarettes, and the prominant luxury of cigars, which is certainly not an indictment toward either. Quite tragic, for the flavorful blends that are to be ha...

Re: Introduce yourself.
Greetings, I am Senator Badfellow, Chairman of the Council on Foreign Drunkard Relations, and representative to the vast, vice-rich hinterlands of the American interior. It is my pleasure to attend these forums at the gracious invitation of the Hon. Count Silvo. On behalf of my constituants, we look...

Re: Your dream bar
If we're talking a gentlemen's type establishment... Two standing policies: no television sets, and no loud music of any sort. The bar would be geared toward encouraging conversation and the convivial mode. If you don't feel like conversation, there are comfortable library chairs where one can diges...
