Quite the smokers set!!!! The wonderful world of auctions

[99call]

You've got to love auctions, what an incredible snapshot of life. 

God I'm naive, I had no idea such a thing as a prostitution licence existed,  nevermind a sterling sliver hallmarked masturbation themed cigar tamper!! Something tells me this was a commission, and not an off the shelf item!

Those scissors are almost too beautifully made to be used as a weapon of self defence.  If someone stabbed me with these my thought process would be as follows

A = "Jesus Christ!!!! you've just stabbed me!!!"

B = "Doctor!.....please god...someone call a DOCTOR"

C = "Wow, Is that mother of pearl? lovely work"

What a find. ROTFL after reading your thought process if someone stabbed you with the mother of pearl scissors. 

Arizona at the turn of the 19th century. Just brilliant!

Speaking of masturbation. I was listening to the radio the other morning, they had an author on talking about her new book. I forget her name and the name of her book but she came came out with the best euphemism for masturbation (of the female variety) I've heard in a long time, "Ringing the Devil's doorbell".

I'm still chuckling, reading what I've just typed.

I think the Perfect Draw provides the best result by screwing in, then pulling out 😂

Hi Nino, you’ll be sorry to learn Zapatas in Shanghai closed in December 2018. I’ve lived in Shanghai for the past 10 years and Zapatas was a favorite spot Of mine, as well. The companion club, Sasha’s (same owner) closed at the same time.

Hi @GaryK 54 - that is sad news, was a pretty good place to spend free time during a layover, very sorry to read it but thank you for the update !!

Off Topic : Being retired I'm no longer flying around ( and much less right now ) but I'd be happy to fly to PVG again, maybe this spot „House of Blues and Jazz” , Nr 158, South Mao Ming Rd. is still open and Mr Lin Dongfu is doing well ... was there back in 2007 and loved the place for the live music and having a humidor being able to smoke. Used be frequently in PVG, miss the bars and the food.

See my blog post ( sorry it's in German ) : http://flyingcigar.de/flying-cigars/200705-shanghai-blues-lin-brothers/

Cheers !

Hi Nino. House of Blues is still open and going strong. Mr. Lin is there and so is the humidor! If you come back to Shanghai when travel lanes reopen, please let me know. My wife and I would love to meet you and show you the town now. So much has changed.
