This is definitely not what I expected

[Matt P]

Gentlemen,

So I won this off of Ebay. I thought it would go great with my existing collection, and I could decant Clubman into it!

When the box arrives, the first thing to come to mind is "man that box is on the large side". I open it and... this thing is HUGE!!! I mean like 2 liter coke bottle big.

Here it is with my collection.

I don't think it is going to work out the way I planned.

Here is another pic to give you a better idea on the scale of this thing.

The seller did say it was huge. Guess I should have believed him.

Wow! Was that originally a size sold to barbers?

 

[Antique Hoosier]

Bartender.... Give me a fifth of Clubman.

 

[Phog Allen]

I would say you have quite a collectible there. Since the seal is already opened years ago, I would just fill it with new Clubman and put it on display. A very safe, SECURE display area. The last thing you want besides a broken collectible is a half gallon of Clubman spilled in your house! On the other hand it would kill most insects, ward off any daemons or other malevolent entities, and chase off any political robocalls.

Regards, Todd

It would cost you a pretty penny in clubman to fill that bottle!







P.s. - That shirt doesn't match those 'jammy bottoms.

 

[bandrus1]

make up a large batch or your own bay rum and put it in there?

That is nice

 

[Pumpkin]

Do we need to organise a whip-round to donate Clubman, so that you can fill it?

 

[gollum83]

So your are going to fill it, right?

 

[DE Shaver]

Wow, talk about bulk buying! That's a lot of aftershave, well at least when it had aftershave.

 

[dod.e.ratherwell]

I like it! Bigger is better right!?

 

[CapnPanther]

You woulda' thunk the seller could have been specific about the capacity. Oh, well, I hope you like Clubman......a lot.

 

[Matt P]

This thing is made of thick glass, so it is heavy already. It will give me a workout when it is full. Should only take about 5 or 6 regular bottles to fill it. Guess I'll stop by and clean out Walgreens.

Hey, be happy I put those on before I took the picture.

 

[Matt P]

Here's Big Boy with about 14oz of the good stuff in him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Now finish filling that bottle.

 

[orchestrion]

Just fill it with beer and make people think it's Clubman.

 

[guitarslinger]

I've been laughing a good solid 15 seconds.

outstanding.

 

[Matt P]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Now finish filling that bottle.

You know it probably is a moral imperative for me to fill it. It's only going to take about 32oz's to finish it off. That's like a Big Gulp's worth of Clubman.

Unless you bathe in the stuff, it would take one many years to finish a bottle that size, and that's with daily use...

I was just wondering how long it would take someone to finish that off. I have a hard time imagining one man going through that much Clubman in a lifetime, especially if it's part of a rotation.
