    What's a good entry-level single malt?

    I love drinking Jack Daniels neat, but it's been my drink for a long time and I'm looking to branch out and try scotch.

    Modern Pocket Watches

    Does anyone have a source for modern pocket watches? I like the kind with the closing lid to protect the face (I believe their called hunter's pocket watches?). I've been looking on the Bay at vintage pieces, but I'd like to see what's out there for modern watches under warranty, etc.

    The Victorian Lounge

    So recently my interest in all things Victorian England has been rekindled, with all the recent movies like Sherlock Holmes, Young Victoria, etc. Are there any sites like the Fedora Lounge dedicated to Victorian interests, or do we maybe start a new thread about this topic?

    War Chest?

    Don't know the exact name for it, but does anyone know where I can buy a War Chest? I'm thinking of the kind Clint Eastwood stored his firearms in as portrayed in the movie Grand Torino. Can be about the same size or a little smaller.

    Revolutionary War Films?

    So I just watched Mel Gibson's "The Patriot" for the third time and really enjoyed it. Does anyone know of other films taking place in this era? Doesn't have to be exact, just roughly that time frame. Also really enjoyed Last of the Mohicans. Thanks!
