3 Manly Movies on Netflix That Are Actually Worth Watching

0 0 12.0k

Netflix users are known for having a love-hate relationship with their streaming service. On one hand, you get a few good movies that are instantly accessible, some interesting documentaries, and maybe House of Cards (if you haven’t yet, drop everything and watch it).

But the truth is, 90% of the Netflix library is either C rated movies or higher-quality flicks that can’t keep a man’s attention. So next time you’re looking to light up and enjoy a show, here are three good options:

1. Ironclad

Starring James Purefoy as a Knight Templar back from the Crusades and wrestling with his faith and Paul Giamatti as the tyrannical Prince John, Ironclad is an independently made hard as nails hack and slash movie. Purefoy must lead six other warriors in defense of Rochester Castle against Prince John and his horde of Nordic mercenaries. Get ready for some insanely gritty swordfights–this is a straight up brawl in the tradition of Braveheart but without the long runtime.

2. Snatch

The Guy Ritchie movie that started it all. Brad Pitt is a bareknuckle gypsy boxer, Jason Statham is a boxing promoter, and they get involved in a diamond heist which all the gangsters from the U.S. to Russia want a piece of. Watching this movie will make you want to take risks and spit game.

3. El Dorado

This is an oldie but a goodie–a classic Western starring John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. The West–where men were men, and apparently everyone smoked cigars, drank constantly, and owned multiple firearms.

You won’t be disappointed.

Yellow Multi

There is an allure in standing out, in making yourself known. Young men have always done it–peacocking in some form or another.

But when you grow up, you start to see the value of Frank Lucas’ opinion that “the strongest man in the room is never the loudest”.

You like some prep in your style? That’s okay. But these are too much.

Montecristo Announces Petit No. 2

4 2 7.7k

The makers of Montecristo announced recently that it is recently a figurado vitola in its wildly popular Montecristo No. 2 line. We should make clear for beginners that this press release refers to the Cuban Montecristo – not the Dominican cigars you see at convenience stores.

Montecristo-Petit-No.2

February 26, 2013 (Havana, Cuba) — Heard of a brand with a name of its own? That’s Montecristo. The Montecristo legend was born from the reading of Alejandro Dumas’ famous novel The Count of Montecristo to cigar rollers at the H. Upmann factory in Havana. Since then, the legend has grown larger-than-life, as the famous character.

Penciled in as a tasting benchmark to size up the other Habanos, Montecristo will step on the limelight during this Festival with the launch of two new vitolas and the presentation, with absolute respect for its history, of a new band in an effort to boost its value and image. Now a new proposal, aimed at reveling all that taste in a shorter span of time, has popped up.

Yet it had been a long time since the Classic Line didn’t have a range launch, a move that give twice as much significance to the unveiling of Petit No.2 because it clings to the brand’s tradition by now adding a figurado, a niche in which the Montecristo No.2 is quite a benchmark.

Completely rolled by hand with long filler, the ring gauge will catch on among smokers because of the easy grip and good burning that makes each puff a thrilling moment. For its part, the midsize length makes customers love every minute of it, despite a tough working day.

The exquisite blend of tobacco, exclusively rolled with filler and binder leaves hailing from Vuelta Abajo, guarantees faithfulness to the original Linea Clasica’s mild-to-strong taste and captivating scent that enthrall both seasoned smokers and those who are now cutting their teeth in the realm of Habanos.

The Edmundo line grows on with the coming of Double Edmundo, also featuring the new Montecristo band and bigger size. This Habano of Dobles factory vitola delivers this blend’s classic scent and taste for approximately a one-hour-long smoke.

Though featuring thinner ring gauge –large enough the delight passionate smokers- its length guarantees slow pleasure and intimate contact between smoke and spirit. In a word, this is a great opportunity to grab all the taste Montecristo has to offer… unhurriedly.
