Remember to be an Ivy Leaguer you have to not only smoke the cigars and live the lifestyle but you also need to dress the part! Check out the video below and let us know some of your own tips in the comments.
A Quiet Drive | Two Cents Tuesdays
Today we want to bring all the hype of the holidays down and float back to reality. We think everyone needs a little quiet time. Our favorite quiet time is getting in the car, toasting a cigar, and taking a long ride.
One of our favorite places to enjoy a cigar is in our cars, preferably if we’re not on our way to work, but if that’s the case, that’s a better way to start your work day! If you don’t have work just try getting in your car and taking a ride with a cigar. Something that is a go-to cigar, something that you already know the taste and you can enjoy. Your cigar does not always have to be a great cigar, there are so many cigars out there at a very low price that are phenomenal.
We enjoy banter here at Ivy League, so normally in our cars we will listen to podcast. Something about different voices going back and forth with enlightening conversation is very calming. It’s very comparable to being at the cigar lounge. (Side note: Our favorite podcast is the Joe Rogen Experince, #ifyoudontknownowyouknow ! Music is good too, some Louis Prima, Jerry Vale, and of course Frank are at the top of our list!)
A few good tools that are a must when enjoying cigars in the car are your usual torch lighter and more importantly is a Xikar ash can. This is very practical, and has many more benifits than just holding your cigar or as an ash tray. When you’re finished your cigar simply drop your nub in the can and put the lid on. The lid is air tight and blocks the cigar smoke smell from lingering and staying in the car. If you can’t empty your ash can right away that’s what the air tight seal is for, no ash smell in here!
There is something about just smoking a cigar and driving with destination in sight. Whatever obstacle on your drive, it doesn’t seem so bad when you’re smoking and driving. Stuck in traffic? Oh well, at least you already have this cigar lit. But man, it’s like a slice of heaven when there is nothing but open road with no chance to turn left or right for miles. Now get out there and get some quiet time with your cigar in your car.
Got Milk (Shirts)? | Two Cents Tuesday
With Christmas and New Years Eve/Day right around the corner, we are wondering what to wear for these special occasions. We know some of you are thinking… “uhhh I’ll just wear a sweater or an old sports jacket.” We say nay, remind yourself of the Ivy League lifestyle. One does not just get dressed for an occasion; time must be put into pondering what one will wear, what will best fit you, and what will be the most appealing to others—especially if you’re single this holiday season!
For today’s #TCT ,we look at not a cigar company, but at the fashions of an Ivy League trendsetter.
We are huge fans of www.milkshirts.com because of their large inventory of the classic shirt. Whatever you end up deciding to wear this holiday season, it will have to obviously involve a shirt. Not a t-shirt, not a polo shirt, but instead, a real button down man’s shirt. Milk provides a very wide variety of shirts including everything from work shirts, formal shirts, and even something us guys can wear to hang around. What all these shirts have in common is that they all revolve around the classic white shirt. This white shirt is a timeless way for a sophisticated man to dress and a staple to every Ivy Leaguers wardrobe!
Milk shirts are made with highest quality two-fold cotton from the supreme mills Europe has to offer. They are single needle stitched beautifully, and are finished with mother-of-pearl buttons. Milk provides many different styles of shirts with varying collar,cuff, and fabric. Their attention to detail is superior to other brands and that is why we appreciate what they offer their consumers. They certainly deserve the Ivy League stamp of approval for quality and trendiness!
Have fun in the next few weeks with the special occasions on your calendar by really dressing yourself up. It’s not often we get to style ourselves in gear that’s formal, so take advantage of this opportunity. For the men who have a significant other, dress to impress for them. For the single men, show the ladies what a timeless, classy Ivy League man looks like.
Cheers to the holidays!
