Quo Vadimus

Interesting cigar brand.
We produce less then one hundred cigars a day. So needless to say this is an exclusive and limited production cigar. You will not find our cigars in local shops, catalogs or in the mass market. We strongly believe in limited production to ensure exceptional
quality.

Like a Candle in the Wind

VW in Brazil will stop producing air cooled VWs including the beautiful VW van.
A new, flexfuel (alcohol or gas) 1.4-liter liquid-cooled box, likely with more horsepower than a riding mower, will power future models, which still sell briskly in that country, despite being completely freaking insane.

How to Act in New York, By Someone Who Will Hurt You
Happy Holidays from TSL and all that, but if you’re in New York, please take these helpful hints to heart.
That said, I’m feeling the urge to proffer a few tips to those uninitiates who, as we speak, are conspiring to keep me from getting where the fuck I need to go. Like work, for example. Since our mass transit system — subways, Metro North and the Long Island Railroad — will likely soon become overrun with the confused, the drunk, and the legitimately feebleminded, this list of suggestions will lean heavily toward directing the reader “how to properly take the train and walk on the sidewalk without being a douchebag.” I will, however, pepper this guide with random advice on whatever other New York-centric subject matter I find useful, because, after all, this post is designed to help me keep my blood pressure in check. First step in curing the snoring, hey?

Kromer Caps

They may not look like much, but these caps have been on the heads of good men for 101 years. Pretty impressive. Union made in Milwaukee. I think my gramps had this railroader.

Ventura SPARC rx

From WristWatchReview.com - Kind of digging the Ventura line, including the SPARC rx which has a rotating “bezel” which actually lets you rotate the entire face a la Nike sports watches.
This piece is designed by Paolo Fancelli and has a Durinox case, whatever that means.

Just found this nice little blog about retro gadgetry. It’s a little more techie than we like, but it’s fun nonetheless.
