I'm thinking of giving my 5 groomsmen a hip flask each as a gift.

Any suggestions where to get some nice flasks? or some brands to look out for?

edit: budget is around $50 each

Last hip flask that I bought was 90% off original price.

Order from http://www.victoriasbasement.com.au/

Tobacconists and Bong-shops. Not sure why I would know that.

ZM.

I found some nice pewter ones around my budget. but of course none of the one I want are in stock...or enough stock!. grrrr

thanks for that. I ended up buying from that site http://www.victoriasbasement.com.au/Product/Details/84551

only a mere 30% off, but still cheaper than anyone else selling the same thing.

Saw it on television?

Bong shops aren't what they used to be . . apparently.

As of 2012 the vic government make it illegal to sell bongs....except of course for Hookahs and Shishas because they're used for 'cultural purposes'.

Ah, yes, television.

Do you guys have Smokemart in Vic? Little nick-nacky stores

 

I purchased one from there once, back when i was younger and had to sneak grog into places

I went through this same decision last year with my wedding...wait, make that 2013 :o

In the end, I just asked myself how often I've used/wanted a flask myself. The answer was 'not very often' So I got my groomsmen something else

I reckon its a perfect gift, Maybe not something often used but man mine has come in handy on occaision :lol:

Fair call

Don't forget to get a box of cigars. I recommend Cohiba Behike 54. Smooth as.

~$450 for a box of 10...a little too rich for me.   how about these  for ~1/4 the price?

Excellent from what I hear, but they need to be properly humidified for a while before you smoke them. Send me a sample while you're at it Better get a wriggle on.

 

Edit, that's a friggin bargain! Thanks for the heads up

 

Second edit, that price doesn't include local taxes, but still a good price. That box will end up being closer to $300

seems very cheap.  error maybe?

 

I didn't even notice I was in the international version of the site....makes those Behike's way way way too much for me.!!

You needn't pay that much for Behikes, but they are a very special smoke. The occasion demands it.

 

Shoot me a pm if you want some help.

 Hip flasks are cool, usually take mine to a show and sip away on the single malt while watching.

  They are useful indeed
