Hello gentlemen!
You have been awarded your own private club from which you may scorn the local riffraff. If you continue posting at least 25 posts per day for the next two weeks, this will be a permanent board.
If you notice any problems (file sizes, file types) post in this thread. I'm not sure if we want to make this General or SFW, so you can discuss that, too.
Keep it work safe and stay classy.

Hi /class/,

I'm sitting outside in my garden enjoying my pipe and my glass of whisky.
Tell me though,
what brand of tobacco (cigars, cigarettes or pipe) and what whisky do you prefer?

I enjoy clan tobacco as it is what my grandfather once gave me.
I really like a good glenmorrangie though chivas regal 18 is very enjoyable too.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you gentlemen prefer!

Van Hassen for tobacco (I roll my cigs), VAT69 for whisky (cheap and kinda drinkable).

Why would you smoke a brand of tobacco when blends are far superior?

Separate the "leaf" from the paper "wrap."
You can be fairly sloppy with the roll of the wrap, then use the leaf for the smooth clean look.

Favorite brands of liquor? Man:Endangered. 12/12/26(Wed)04:15 No. 1878 [Reply]

My favorite brand of liquor would probably be the classic Baileys, and my secondary choice would be Fireball. I know many dislike Fireball (Or any "sweet" drinks for that matter) but I am a big fan of the sugary-tasting liquors. Post yours (And possibly any good stories to go along with it?)

I enjoy a glass of Hendrick's Gin or Bombay Sapphire from time to time. I find the art of drinking is lost among many of my peers, who would prefer to mix cheap alcohols rather than enjoy a quality alcohol straight.

I recently tasted some beer marketed under the brand "Delirium tremens"
I recommend it.
turns out it's a belgish brewery:

Nice stuff, didn't enjoy delirium noel. Nocturnum was ok.

Hello,

I was wondering what vehicles you gents drive.

I have been working hard and saving my money for the past few years. I was able to purchase a G37 and I am proud.

The picture is not my car but almost exactly the same.

$150 to pick stocks with? Recommendations? Vroom Vroom 13/05/17(Fri)05:13 No. 2342 [Reply]

Good day fine gents!

I've encountered a stretch of unemployment, but as I was taking a stroll the other day I volunteered to work the local election. between that and some ermegency money, I find myself with $150 to invest.

I have a $5,000 portfolio which is managed for me, but I thought, for a lark, I'd pick one stock to invest in. To speculate, as it were.

I've heard JCPenny is making a comeback, and I've been told I should also look into Facebook, Best Buy and big box retailers. Although I believe Best Buy is a load of poppycock and is heading for bankruptcy.

I'm interested in entertainemnr companies and tech companies. Maybe Wal-Mart, Disney (seems to be riding too high) Target, Sony, Walgreens, Exxon-Mobil, Verizonm, etc?

Praytell, what should I purchase with my hard-earned wages?

>>

Sophisticated Gentleman 13/05/17(Fri)16:00 No. 2343

What should you purchase with your 150 wages? Not stocks. Buy some books and read. Invest in yourself, not in a company where your investment will likely disappear.

>>

Sir Doc 13/05/18(Sat)07:38 No. 2344

Yes. Either that, or a gym membership. Sound body, sound mind, after all.

Really, $150 to invest in the market is kind of like trying to buy something at Tiffany's for... well, $150. You might be able to buy something small, but in the long run the investment won't be worth it.

>>

Sophisticated Gentleman 13/05/21(Tue)17:09 No. 2354

The gains you would make from a $150 traditional investment would be negligible. I would recommend buying and reselling things with that amount. Perhaps if you have a goodwill outlet near you (sells everything for $0.60 a pound) buy stuff there and resell online.

Good day gentlemen. On this day I wish to ask your preferred literature. While I love to indulge in a great book, I favor reading classic Gothic literature. I love books similar to Jane Eyre, and The Castle of Otranto.

To all whom it may concern:

I consider myself a patron of the arts, and engage my mind in higher pursuits for the joy of knowledge.
I maintain my body in concert with my mind, staying well-muscled without growing boorish.
I do lounge in low company, but endeavor to be of a stately bearing in mixed company, and am gentle in speech in all places.
I argue in the traditional meaning of the word only, for I am fond of polite debate and spurn the sourly-manged dogfights of heated words.
I ask of others first, only mentioning my pastimes if their mention is sought after.
When asked, I do not ramble, brag, or spin falsehoods.
When I escort my date to various amusements or fine dining, I foot the bill discretely,
without drawing attention to the sizeable paycheque that comes from my respectable employment.

I understand that repetitive "I" statements are off-putting, but feel as though they are applicable in these words.
I am grateful for your fortitude for reading thus far.

My life is charmed, but for this one spot that mars: I am unsure if one may be a gentleman, and also a woman.

I'd love it if a woman paid for my dates. Of course in the past I could have gotten them to but they didn't seem to mind when I insisted that I pay. Maybe I shouldn't insist too hard. you know some of the most powerful women in history have been gender-benders. I think a woman that could achieve a certain level of masculinity while not abandoning her femininity entirely could be excellent company

Dear Sophisticated Friends,
Do you have any opinions of what the best cigar for $10 or under is?
I'm fairly new to cigar smoking, but so far I prefer meduros. Have no favorite brands yet, so any opinions will be considered.

Middleton's Black and Mild Cigars, of course, raging in prices from US .59-1.50 depending on retailer. Flavored of course, and and smoke's fantastic out of a wooden tip.

What are some good recommendable brands to try?

depends on what youre looking for.
Filtered cigarillos? id say Djarum
Regular cigarillos? Davidoff Mini Silver is a great choice

If you want flavoured cigarillos Acid C-Notes are probably your best bet
