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.
Three Mexican Spirts You Can Have Delivered To Your House Right Now
Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner. I legitimately cannot wrap my mind around how there’s less than a week left in April when this has felt like both the longest and shortest month of my life but here we are. Since I know most of you gentlemen are still at home and not out running around I thought I’d throw these three exquisite spirits on your radar. Each of these is available for purchase through Drizly by following the links below.
Espolòn Blanco Tequila is a 100% Weber Blue Agave Tequila and Espolòn calls this the ‘purest expression’ of their tequilas. It’s perfectly balanced and ideal for sipping, mixing, or shooting if you’re so inclined. Montelobos Mezcal Joven is crafted by biologist and distiller Iván Saldaña and mezcalero Don Abel Lopez in in Santiago Matatlán where it’s made from 100% organic Espadín. I’ve never in my life understood people who don’t love Mezcal. It’s one of my favorite sipping spirits and this expression blew me away from the first sip. The third spirit here is Ancho Reyes Chile Liqueur, something you don’t see too often but a spirit that 100% deserves your attention. This is THE LIQUEUR you need for taking your Palomas, Margaritas, and Daiquiris to the next level. It’s that secret ingredient you’d find at a world-class bar but you can have this shipped to your house ASAP via Drizly by following that link below!

Sonos One (Gen 2) Voice-Controlled Smart Speaker
Sonos
This is an awesome item which recently came into my life, the Sonos One (Gen 2) Voice-Controlled Smart Speaker. We used to have Sonos speakers in the BroBible offices so I was pretty familiar with the brand but not this particular compact speaker. I’m here to tell you this puts out better sound than any speaker I’ve come across on the market and I’ve tested 20 to 30 of them over the past handful of years.
The Sonos One compact design is useful for putting it on pretty much any surface in your house and it syncs up brilliantly with the Sonos app and your other speakers. It is humidity resistant (for the bathroom) and has Google Assistant + Amazon’s Alexa built-in. If you are currently working from home like I am then this is about to be a total game-changer for you.
New Traeger Smartphone App
Traeger
I truly miss going to restaurants and having the freedom to choose any restaurant and any cuisine anytime I get hungry. That’s one of the things I miss the most these days. But I’ll tell you what, I’ve been enjoying being able to use my Traeger smoker more than ever. I picked up a deep freezer for the garage about a year ago and I’ve been loading it up with various meats every time I get groceries delivered. I’ve got steaks, ribs, pork butt, pork chops, chicken galore, and sausages in there.
I’m a decent cook on my own but I still like to follow a recipe anytime I can and that’s particularly what I love about the new Traeger App (clip below) which is available for iPhone and Android devices. It has longform videos from top Traeger grillmasters as well as the functionality to let you control various grill features through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Check it out in action:
This coming Monday, April 27th is National Prime Rib Day which is actually one of the meats I don’t currently have in my meat freezer, unfortunately. But I guess that will give me an excuse to put in a pick-up order this weekend at the butcher down the street. You can click here for Traeger’s Prime Rib 101 recipe or follow that ‘get it now’ button below to pick up their all-new app.

This Coffee Is Aged In Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrels
I’m sure many of you know this but the life of a Bourbon barrel is long and complex. In the USA, a Bourbon barrel spends its first 2+ years aging Bourbon and after that it cannot be used to age Bourbon again. But it can be used to add flavors and aromas to things like beer, coffee (below), and other spirits like Scotch, Rum, and Tequila can be finished in these used Bourbon barrels.
Pappy & Company uses the highly-coveted Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon barrels to age coffee beans and add some exquisite flavor to their coffee beans which gives life to your morning coffee by adding notes of vanilla and little bit of smoke that pairs perfectly.
MANCAN Wine
It’s an uncertain time for the entire world right now, with all of us (hopefully) practicing social distancing by isolating ourselves to stop this pandemic from spreading. That means lots of free time sitting around and binge-watching TV shows and movies while still trying to FaceTime with friends and family.
While that’s a great way to keep yourself busy and entertained, there’s just one problem: What do you toast during a makeshift Happy Hour? Since we’re classy AF, our choice is MANCAN wine, which is the better way to smash some delicious vino in the comfort of your own home right now.

Best Whiskey Of 2020: Best Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
Highland Park produces some of the finest Single Malt expressions around. When someone asks me what to get someone as a gift I often point them in this direction. I wasn’t quite sure which expression to choose for this roundup because they’re all so good but the beauty with HP is you can’t choose wrongly because they’re all amazing.
Laphroaig is a strong Islay Single Malt. I’ve included their Lore and Cask Strength here. These are two of my favorite Single Malts that money can buy and if you appreciate strong wood flavors that open up with each sip you’re going to absolutely love Laphroaig.

Exotic Saltverk Salts From Iceland
Every year (when possible) I try and travel somewhere new for New Year’s Eve. A few years back I went to Reykjavik, Iceland for NYE (4 days) on the way to London to visit some friends and I have to tell you bros that Iceland should 100% be on your bucket list of places to visit if you haven’t already gone. The food there was absolutely incredible. Due to the nature of Iceland being a very remote island in the Northern Atlantic, almost all of the ingredients are locally sourced and thus incredibly fresh. If you want to hit me up on Twitter (at @casspa) I can give you a rundown of all the delicious meals and how the bread + butter + salt was a standout item at every single restaurant.
The ONLY souvenir I brought back from that Iceland trip was several containers of this Saltverk Salt which is now available over on Huckberry. I HIGHLY recommend the Lava Salt which was one of my personal favorites along with the Arctic Thyme and Birch Smoked Salts. Or, you can be smart and pick up this Icelandic Salt Set which has several of their flavors.

Best Whiskey Of 2020: Affordable Bourbon
The Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon mixes six recipes, each aged a minimum of 6 years. This expression launched in select states across America in 2019 but has moved into new markets (online as well) in 2020 and you can find this across America now. 100% check this one out.
The Knob Creek Quarter Oak Straight Bourbon is crafted in a pre-prohibition style that I’ve come to know and appreciate from Knob Creek. This expression is an excellent pickup. At just $28, it’s hard to top the Bulleit Bourbon, I’ll leave it at that.

Only 100 Of These Custom ‘Elko’ Pocket Knives Exist
If you are looking to pick up a handy new everyday carry blade then The Elko pocket knife from the James Brand is one of the most trusted options in the game. This particular model has the caveat that only 100 of these exist because it’s part of a limited-edition collaboration (only 100 knives were built) between Huckberry and The James Brand.
The blade on this custom ‘Elko’ Pocket Knife is made from Carpenter CTS-BD1 stainless steel which features topographic detailing throughout. This knife is small enough to fit on your keychain and lightweight enough to the point that it won’t ever feel heavy on your keychain or in your pocket.
Limited-Edition White Truffle-Infused Hot Sauce
I’ve been riding the TRUFF Train for years now, long before Oprah threw them in her holiday gift guide and the business exploded. This is one of the most delicious hot sauces I’ve ever come across and if you haven’t taken the plunge yet then today’s the day you should treat yourself to their limited-edition White Truffle-Infused Hot Sauce. I personally love this hot sauce on eggs, chicken, rice, and burritos but you should 100% experiment with putting it on anything and everything.
