Fina Estampa BlancoRarely consumed in moderation, it’s uncommon to find in-depth reviews of non-novelty tequilas. It tends, unlike vodka or whisky, to be thrown down at a rapid pace, for as little outlay as possible.

But for those disparate tequila connoisseurs out there, our friends at Liquor Snob recommend you attack your esophagus with some Fina Estampa Blanco.

…we can honestly say Fina Estampa has it all - great packaging, great taste and a great buzz, all for a price that’s at least ten or fifteen dollars cheaper than comparable tequilas we’ve tasted…

Whenever we’re next approached with tequila by over-zealous drinking companions, rather than simply dispatching it in world record time, we might start paying attention to the damn stuff. After all, what’s buzz without taste and packaging?

Heuer Ford ChronosplitNo doubt an oddity as well as a rarity, this 1978 Heuer Ford Chronosplit RS Motorsport is worth more than some new cars.

Featuring a Ford logo on its upper panel and with incredibly visible forward battery chambers that require a special tool to open them, it’s difficult to grasp just how futuristic this technology was in 1978.

But it was futuristic enough that there’s barely any left in full working order. In fact, this fully-functioning specimen, complete with original brochure, box and (thankfully) battery replacing tool is worth a cool £3800 (that’s around US$7000).

fedorasProud fedora wearers ourselves, we’re pleased to see this classic returning.

Not as British as the bowler, more formal than the trilby, less formal than the Homburg and not as imperialist as the Panama, the fedora has a special place in the male psyche that no other hat possesses.

It’s fine to wear in both warmer and cooler months, and is equally suited to a very casual afternoon party (albeit slightly eccentrically) as to a semi-formal race meeting.

And great if you really feel like you need to look like a Hollywood golden era private investigator.

You can’t beat the snap-brim. It’s a shady staple.
