Grandpa did enjoy his cigars, I don't ever recall seeing him with out one and he always had that pouch that held 4 in his shirt pocket, my other grandfather was a pipe smoker and even tho he died when I was little (pancreatic cancer which back in the day was a death sentence) I still remember that cherry tobacco smell so in that spirit the club car on The 48 Express will allow smoking. I know that's not PC but that's how I'm choosing to honor both of them along with my dad and his fathers love of trains and my moms dads love of mechanical things and Art Deco all of which I seemed to have inherited, I actually don't mind the smell of a good cigar or pipe even tho I don't smoke. I sometimes think I was born 60 years too late.
I also came up with a pint glass that would be perfect for the club car...
It just has that look like it would have been used on the train, simple and elegant! I am having a set of custom glasses made up for my home bar which I've been calling The Antler Room. No mounted deer head or antlers but I am on the hunt for a mounted reindeer head so if anyone knows of a good one out there that is convenient to the mid-atlantic region give me a shout.
If anyones wondering were these glasses can be found try Zazzle.com, they have a ton of people offering all kinds of things, if you need a file let me know and I'll send it to you so you can get something made up if you like.
