GIVEAWAY: Corkcicle’s New Cigar Glass is Manly Multi-Tasking at Its Best

Corkcicle has a reputation for producing some of the best drinking paraphernalia available, like canteens, the chillsner (review here), and ice ball maker and whiskey wedge. Hell, even Oprah loves the brand —she proved it this year by deeming Corkcicle’s Stemless one one of her Favorite Things for 2017.

Wth the new (and aptly named) Corkcicle Cigar Glass, the brand has truly spoken to the whiskey-loving, cigar-smoking, multi-tasking man inside all of us. Because haven’t we all experienced that horrendous moment during an evening at home relaxing when a task suddenly appears that calls for at least one free hand, but you just don’t want to put down either your Old Fashioned or your freshly lit cigar? Maybe not. However, if you have experienced this, you know the pain of having to let go of one or the other. And that means your drink’s going to get warm or your stogie is going to go out.

Courtesty of Corkcicle.

The Corkcicle Cigar Glass‘s clever built-in cigar holder means now you don’t have to choose. You can walk around with a drink and cigar in a single hand (without risking carpal tunnel syndrome and fumbling fingers just to try to carry both). It might not seem very practical at first, but hey, neither are suede shoes. It’s the style that counts. And, surprisingly, the glass really does grip a variety of differently sized cigars —which is a plus if you’ve got your own home humidor.

The glass itself is handmade (“with care,” as Corkcicle notes), holds up to nine ounces (aka a double), is large enough to add a few ice cubes (if that’s you’re thing), and costs under $20. But today, we’re giving one away. For free.

One lucky winner will receive a free Corkcicle Cigar Glass — just in time for winter. Enter below and, who knows, maybe you’ll be relaxing in a leather armchair, smoking a Cuban, and having a glass of one of the best whiskeys, while watching the snow fall silently out the window. Classy.

I Take Back Everything I Said About Brunch
From Thai breakfast soup to Israeli spreads and Bloody Marys in the West Village, these are the New York City brunches that finally converted a former brunch hater..
Food, Food Presentation, Brunch

In my dissolute youth, I worked as a line cook in a hotel kitchen on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, how I loathed the brunch shift. Churning out a never-ending procession of yogurt parfaits and chocolate-chip pancakes, I wanted to dunk my head in the deep fryer by noon every Sunday. I even pitied the customers, who paid a premium for uninspired fare prepared by hungover, pissed-off cooks. Brunch? Fie upon it! The repast of brain-dead yoga moms.

But how age changes us. Now approaching forty, I'm something of a brunch maximalist. I once fancied myself an urban Viking, subsisting on pre-workout and nicotine by day and steak and whiskey by night. These days, I prefer nothing more than a lazy Sunday morning with my girlfriend in a sunlit dining room. Twin cappuccinos. Smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Tabasco-spiked Bloody Marys. A post-prandial stroll through the West Village. Why the hell did I shun such joys for so many years?

A butcher’s guide to buying better beef
A meat expert's guide to buying better beef at the grocery store
Verde Farms

If you've been to the butcher or the meat counter at the grocery store lately, you might have noticed it just seems to feel overwhelming. Today, there are endless meat choices and labels such as organic, grass-fed, prime, and choice, leaving shoppers confused and stressed. Are these just marketing terms, or are they labels that actually hold value (and should they affect how you shop?)

To help cut through the confusion, we chatted with William Eck III, the In-House Meat Expert at Verde Farms. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate and HACCP-trained food safety expert with more than 20 years of experience, including serving in a James Beard Award-winning kitchen, fine-dining chop houses and boutique butcheries, he brings whole-chain expertise to Verde Farms' commitment to organic, 100% grass-fed beef from pasture to plate. In this butcher's guide to buying better beef, Eck shares how shoppers can actually read a beef label, which cuts are worth the splurge, and his best butcher-approved prep tips.
