How are we doing today, gentlemen? With another week of hard work in the books, it is now time to treat ourselves to some retail therapy. That’s why I spend hours upon hours each week putting together the ‘Things We Want‘ gear guide for men, so you can buy the best.
This way you have direct access to the hottest gear for men. If you’ve been reading the ‘Things We Want’ for yours then you’ll notice the new look design which is meant to fit more with the style of my daily Everyday Carry Essentials features. If you know of a product that you think should be featured in my weekly Gear Guide then feel free to hit me up via email at cass@brobible.com.
The Most Expensive Japanese Whisky In History
The Sotheby’s Auction House in London held a Finest & Rarest Wines and Spirits auction last week and it set some serious records. A bottle of Karuizawa 52 Year Old Cask #5627 Zodiac Rat 1960 became the most valuable Japanese whiskey bottle on the planet, and two cases of the infamous Chateau Cheval Blanc 1947 sold for $614,000.
A new auction record was achieved for a bottle of Japanese whisky, with a bottle of ‘Karuizawa 52 Year Old Zodiac Rat Cask #5627 1960’, sold for £363,000 / $435,273 to an Asian private collector, and far exceeding its pre-sale estimate of £160,000-220,000. The oldest Karuizawa to have been released, this iconic bottle is one of only 41 that were produced, each uniquely identified by an individual netsuke carved from the oak cask head of cask #5627.
Karuizawa was founded in 1955, they specialized in Scotch-style whisky by using imported Scottish barley, and remained Japan’s smallest distillery. They stopped making whiskey in the year 2000 and in 2006 their remaining stocks were purchased by Number One Drinks Company. The 1960 was their oldest expression in stock and the bottles were priced at $15,000/each. One just sold for $435,273…$15K to $435K in 14 years.
Sanitize & Chill CBD Hand Sanitizer
I’d like to step into the shoes of the old man in the cave and suggest you equip yourself with some CBD hand sanitizer, which compliments a hospital-grade ethanol base like other major brands use along with a couple of cannabinoids that help it do more than just kill bacteria.
If you’re familiar with CBD, then you already know studies have shown it can help reduce joint pain and inflammation, but this hand sanitizer also contains CBG, which scientists have noted has certain antibacterial properties in case you’re looking for a little more peace of mind.
If you’re looking to resupply (or do some stockpiling of your own), CBDEE currently has an ample supply on hand and will ship it right to your door so you don’t have to deal with the anxiety that comes with leaving your place.

Fitness Gear For Working Out At Home
One thing that helps me to muster up the energy to workout is new gear. I toss on some new workout shorts and suddenly I feel compelled to use them because sitting on the couch in new workout gear, to me, feels like driving a Ferrari in a 25 MPH speed zone.
I’ve pulled some of Huckberry’s best-selling workout gear below. I personally have that Fourlaps Tee and the Fourlaps Bolt Shorts. I’m 100% sincere in saying that they are my favorite workout shorts of the past several years. They’re that good. The Fourlaps Short Sleeve Level Tee is made with 37.5 technology that’s specifically engineered to release heat in warm times and keep the heat in when it’s cold. This is CLUTCH when you’re working up a sweat but the weather is always changing. It’s fast drying, fits great, and has a comfortable four-way stretch.
The Fourlaps Bolt Short in Camo are quick-drying and super breathable to keep you feeling sweat free. They have a four-way stretch fabric that gives you an unencumbered range of motion. And the built-in boxer brief wicking liner provides all the support you need when working out.
