What to shop for in the Diptyque sale

Diptyque makes some of the best candles around with even its mini candle range exuding great scents. One great example is the Diptyque Feu De Bois mini candle which is down to $39 from $42. Its high-quality vegetable and paraffin wax blend also has a cotton and lead-free wick so it’s great in every way. It burns for up to 30 hours with its wood fire-esque scent bringing about the ambiance of a crackling fireplace on a cold winter’s evening.

Alternatively, if you want something more substantial, check out the Diptyque Mimosa Scented Candle which is down to $69 from $74. Again, it’s made with a high-quality vegetable and paraffin wax blend while there’s a cotton and lead-free wick. It promises about 50 hours of burn time. The scent captures the spirit of the hills of Tanneron decked with gold with small, downy blossoms releasing velvety, lightly honeyed notes.

There are larger candles still such as the Diptyque Tubereuse/Tuberose Candle which is $100 instead of $110. The fragrance captures the essence of the fields of Southern India with the fragrant white flowers of the tuberose plant exhaling a fresh green scent that is delicately balanced with fruity and milky notes. It’s perfect for a more crisp scent.

As part of the Diptyque sale, there are plenty of other candles along with EDT sprays. You’ll need to be quick though as stock is rapidly running low on all these products. That’s hardly surprising given how rarely you see discounts on Diptyque products. If you don’t want to miss out, check out the sale for yourself below by tapping the button.

Do you know the myth of Napoleon (the pig…not the man)

Napoleon

One of the many times I watched The Gentlemen, I laughed at the scene where Matthew (Jeremy Strong) joked that it was illegal in France to name a pig Napoleon. Of course, there are ridiculous laws all over the place. Want a few? In Georgia, it is illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork. In Arkansas, it is against the law to say the name incorrectly. Which means Bill Clinton would have come after me for years of me saying “ARE-Kansas.” It is prohibited to sleep on top of a refrigerator in Pennsylvania. That means my cat is a thug in Penn. And one of my favorites: It is illegal for unmarried women to parachute on Sundays.

The point is that there are crazy laws all over the place that seem completely ridiculous, and there is almost always a story behind them. So, is the Napoleon pig law a real thing? Is it illegal to raise a swine and name it after the legendary French Emperor? Well, let’s dig in. Why? Because I am a nerd and I need company in the weeds.

Who does James Bond work for? And is MI6 real?

James Bond Specter double breasted

We have some news on the movement of the next James Bond. According to reports, we are looking at the final four (we know of three). Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Callum Turner (Eternity, One Night Only), and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) are all in the final running to portray the next 007. We also, allegedly, have a fourth, unannounced actor in the running. But of course we do. And since we have news and movement on the James Bond front, I started thinking about what the next movie will be about. That took me down a rabbit hole, and I landed on a question. What is MI6? James Bond’s employer is a shadowy government agency, like Jason Bourne’s Treadstone or Ethan Hunt’s Impossible Mission Force (IMF). But there is one major difference between them and the organization that signs 007’s paychecks.

His is real.

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either

Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.
