Bender Books

Bender Books
A great philosopher once said, “There is a lot of wisdom in a bottle of whiskey.” (It was either Confucius or Jimmy Buffett, we can’t remember which one.) There’s truth to that adage. We’ve shared more knowledge after some Johnny Walker than we have after finishing any book (albeit slurred knowledge). If you want the appearance of a learned man while you puff on your pipe and relax in your robe, then get yourself a Bender Book. Hidden inside the cover of a book on Law, Finance, Piloting or some other topic is a glass flask ready for something to imbibe. Just be prepared to explain your drinking habit next time someone needs to look something up in your “dictionary.” $100

rogue

Rogue's leather work is some of the finest I've seen in a while. I just purchased one of these jackets and its the best jacket I own at the moment; however, these boots are by far my favorite and will definitely be my next shoe purchase. Black aged leather tall captoe boot with flannel lining $325

Beats Executive Headphones

Beats Executive Headphones
    
Want to bask in the lush bass of Beats, but find the bright, highly-visible plastic bodies a little too flashy? Say hello to Beats Executive Headphones ($TBA). As the name might suggest, the Executive skips the plastic for a decidedly more high-end look, with brushed metal finishes on the lower stems and earcups and fine leather on the band — black and silver are the only colors you'll find — while still offering the active noise cancellation and crisp, full audio that you'd expect. Coming soon, or just as soon as Dr. Dre gives the "hell yeah" thumbs-up.

Stoner Coffee Table Book

Stoner Coffee Table Book

We can only imagine that this book is the coffee table equivalent of spending a day in the life and (high) times of Cheech and Chong…if they had a proclivity for online cat videos, psychedelic landscapes and finding cool shit on the Internet. Mary Jane isn’t everyone’s go to girl for a good time, but odds are you know someone that would like to be amazed for hours at a time without an Internet connection. Worst case scenario, it’s a good alternative to a babysitter for that one friend we all have that needs supervision when he parties too hard. Unless you’re that friend, in which case you should probably pick up a few of these tomes to leave at friend’s houses. $12

Grinds Coffee Pouches

Grinds Coffee Pouches
   
  Whether you're trying to quit a nasty snuff habit or just want a waterless way to get some caffeine, grab some Grinds Coffee Pouches ($13). Similar to smokeless tobacco, Grinds come in round canisters holding 20 pouches a piece, only these are packed with flavored coffee instead of the cancerous stuff, giving you a nice kick any time you need it. And there's no need to spit! It's like "brewing the coffee in your mouth," or something.

Lomography LomoKino

Lomography LomoKino
    
And you thought film was dead. The Lomography LomoKino ($80-$100) looks to bring analogue filmmaking back to the masses by letting you record 144 shots on one roll of 35mm film by simply loading it up and turning the crank, giving you 50-60 seconds of LomoMovie. Any type of 35mm film can be used for different effects, and the lomokinoscope (included in the $100 package) will let you play back the developed film by pointing it at a light source and — once again — turning the crank. Interesting subject matter not included.

Red Scarlet-X Camera

Red Scarlet-X Camera

     Whether you're looking to take your DSLR-based videography skills to the next level or just have a ton of cash to blow on a new camera, the Red Scarlet-X Camera ($9,750 and up) won't disappoint. Powered by the company's 14 megapixel Mysterium-X sensor, it can shoot full-frame stills at up to 12 fps, as well as 4K video at 30fps — which means 30 stills, if you so desire — and 1080p at 60fps, using PL mount or Canon lenses, with recordings saved to an onboard SSD, while you monitor things via a 5-inch touchscreen display or "Bomb EVF" high definition viewfinder. A full package, including the "brain," an aluminum Canon mount , SSD module, side handle, 5-inch LCD, and batteries will run around $14,000. Oh, and if you plan on saving any of this goodness for posterity, plan on buying more storage. Lots of storage.

WISPR Vaporizer

WISPR Vaporizer

     With a name that sounds like a bad-guy organization from a spy novel and a design that integrates modern sensibilities and mid-century kitsch, the WISPR Vaporizer ($270) is a stylish, portable, and discrete way to enjoy the bounties of harvest season. Just fill it with butane, prepare your herbs, pack the chamber, attach the straw, turn it on, let it heat up, and when the light goes off, it's time to enjoy. Just remember to turn it off afterwards — which might be the most difficult part.
