The Gimlet

A common wisdom in this age of reborn cocktails is to fix your drinks with the finest, freshest ingredients, eschewing premade liquids and powdered mixers. One drink that mayposetheexceptiontothatruleistheGimlet— essentially gin and lime cordial—as it was not invented with fresh fruit in the first place.

Hunters & Frankau And Ettinger Cigar Wrap

Cigars can be carried in many ways. You can put them in a plastic bag, but where's the style in that? Travel humidors can be gorgeous, but for everyday use they can be bulky. Cigar cases are good, if limited in payload. For a new way to carry around five or so smokes, cigar experts Hunters & Frankau and the leather craftsmen of Ettinger have combined to create a luxurious cigar-toting device they call a cigar wrap.

Pickleball Paddles

When pickleball was invented on a badminton court in Washington State in 1965, it was played with table tennis equipment. The game soon graduated to perfo- rated plastic balls and one of its inventors, Barney McCallum, fashioned a simple wood paddle—the M2—that became the sport's longtime standard. Flash forward almost 60 years: the game is the fastest growing sport in America and the equipment choices are vast and often expensive.

Serbian Cleavers

A mysterious hooded chef sitting on a rock next to a bubbling stream takes a massive knife, a cleaver shaped like a quarter circle, and chops through vegetables or a huge grilled steak. Next to him, a wood fire around some dark stones crackles and pops while birds chirp in the distance. This is the bushcraft phenomenon—the aspiration to get more rustic as technology gets more advanced—and cleavers are often the stars of its ubiquitous videos. So much so that Almazan Kitchen, a YouTube channel based in Serbia, made the uniquely-shaped cleaver so popular that they're now simply known as Serbian chef knives.

A High Steaks Game - Gallaghers restaurant, New York's oasis for carnivores, has thrived for 96 years, playing host to a colorful crowd of sports heroes, show people and classic characters

Dean Poll, the owner of Gallaghers Steakhouse on Manhattan's West 52nd Street, has to think both like a restaurateur and the curator of a museum with an entire wing of art. Only, instead of tending to European oil paintings, Poll oversees images of Old New York. I work here every day. I am thinking about the food and staff, Poll says, sitting in a corner that could be called baseball cove. Over his right shoulder are stills of Lou Gehrig and the Yankees' Murderers' Row manager Miller Huggins. Jack Dempsey is clowning, grappling with a bat also held by Babe Ruth. "To Helen Gallagher, sincerely Babe Ruth," the inscription reads. Poll gestures toward signed caricatures of Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. "So I lose, to a certain extent, the importance of what's on the walls. But the photos are the decor. They lend some hominess to the place. It's the heart and soul of this restaurant. It's not cheap decoration. The only thing missing is the cigar smoke", adds Poll, who fancies a Partagás 8-9-8 It's what this restaurant is for 96 years.

The Enforcer - Cole Hauser, who plays the tough-as-nails cowboy Rip on the hit show "Yellowstone," has been around horses since he was a little boy

Cole Hauser looks like he can kick your ass. And kicking ass is the specialty of his most famous character, Rip Wheeler from the hit series "Yellowstone." He's the show's man in black, his dark cowboy hat often coated in trail dust, shades hiding his intense eyes, black beard covering a mouth that seldom smiles. The absolute opposite of a pretty boy, he's never chatty-and when he does talk it's often with a bit of menace in his voice. He's not the kind of guy to take a back seat to anything.

Pinball Machines - "Two kind of people in this world," Ray Liotta's character says in the 1997 movie Cop Land.

"Two kind of people in this world," Ray Liotta's character says in the 1997 movie Cop Land. Pinball people and video game people." If you're 50 or older, you might fall into the former group of gamers who are enthralled by the ringing bells, snapping flippers and the captivating combination of mechanics and electronics that make pinball irresistible. While it's the ultimate Sisyphean game-the eternal (and doomed) effort to keep an 80-gram, carbon-steel ball from going down the drainfor those who love it, it couldn't be more fun.

A Major Celebration - pro golfer and cigar lover Xander Schauffele was ready to unwind after winning the PGA Championship in May

Cigars are meant for celebration, so when pro golfer and cigar lover Xander Schauffele was ready to unwind after winning the PGA Championship in May, he lit up.It was a time of immense relief. Despite being a marquee name in golf, with a Gold Medal and a Ryder Cup among his wins, the 30-year-old Schauffele was haunted by another distinction: the back-handed compliment of being on the list of the best golfers never to win a major. He had come ohso-close in many majors, finishing second twice, and seven times in the top 10. But in May, when his final putt-just over six feet in length-dropped for a birdie, the wait was over. He raised both arms in celebration, a huge smile spreading across his face. He was finally a major champion.
