Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, […]

The Obelisks of Rome: A pointed walking tour
When you walk around Rome, no matter which way you turn, you are likely to see the sky pierced by an obelisk. It is a defining part of the Roman skyline. But they don’t really belong here.

We don’t talk enough about men’s grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health.

Your dad’s favorite gift may be smelling good
As Father’s Day sneaks up on you (hopefully it isn’t sneaking up on you since we have been putting Father’s Day gift guides and articles with ideas for a few weeks here), there is a tendency to go for the old faithfuls dads seem to have always gotten. Ties. Mugs. Tools. And, of course, the […] -
Solid cologne is the companion you need this summer
A man’s cologne is a very personal selection. You know me; I am all about first impressions. I believe there are five senses to the first impression. You need to look good, you need to give the right feel (please don’t touch people when you meet them), you need to have taste, you need to […] -

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations
I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson’s Thriller or Dr. Dre’s The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes […] -
Six subscription services you can buy dad today and gift tomorrow
We all love Dad. But that doesn’t mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you […] -

Adopt your Wimbledon Whites with these stellar summer pieces
The Wimbledon Championships are the oldest of the four Grand Slam tournaments. They have been around since the late 1800s, and if you know anything about events that old, they are steeped in customs and traditions.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh
I am on an underwear kick right now. I can’t help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don’t think about it […] -

Generational fitness: A father’s story for passing health to his children
Father’s Day is a holiday that is sometimes overlooked, sometimes celebrated, and sometimes divisive.

Circle the door: Finding my zen at Banyon Tree Krabi Thailand for Men’s Mental Health Month
We don’t talk about men’s mental health very often. We have all heard the same things over and over for the majority of our lives. “Man up,” “I don’t want to talk about it,” “I’m fine,” “I will figure it out.” All of these are things you and I have definitely used or heard in […]

A guide to destination drinking
These days, it’s not enough to pour a product. What splashes in the glass needs a good story, preferably one involving genuine sustainability efforts or a cool new hop variety. Moreover, that liquid becomes all the more intriguing when it reflects its origin, whether that’s a coastal gin made with local botanicals and seaweed or […] -

Porsche enters the classic 911 into the GT4 category
In the mid-2000s (I won’t speculate as to the timing of The Fast and the Furious hype coincidence here…), a new phenomenon in racing launched to help the everyman get an opportunity to enter into a very exclusive culture: racing.

Royal Enfield gets World Origin recognition for their 125th anniversary
