MEC.RESEARCH mini reviews (update 6)


Flor De Cana Rum aged 7 yrs. Very good, has a nice caramel smell, sweet with that rum aged flavour. Drink 'neat' or on ice, but on ice it went down better for the palate


Herradura 'Anejo' Tequila. Wow, you know for a Anjeo (aged Tequila) this is not a smooth at all, the Partida Blanco is smoother than this; so is it nice? It's ok, first bottle bought and it will be the last. So there's your answer (update* tried again compared against the Partida Blanco, the Herradura tasted bitter, almost off; I poured it down the sink).



Daredevil #506 writer Andy Diggle Art Marco Checchetto

This is just a great run for Daredevil, if you don't know the character, well as Kevin Smith puts it, 'Daredevil is the Grateful Dead of comics', which I guess he means that the character has that cult, devoted following. Some writers managed to depress his character like Brian Bendis did, but Diggle has re-worked Daredevil as the fighter that he is, blind and psychologically complex but he hangs in there. This series is all about Ninjas, death-cults, violence, sexy women and betrayal (sexy women betrayal).



Eames dinning chairs

Yes I have always wanted an Eames chair, designed in 1946 this chair wasn't pumped out by draftsman in China for a mile long production line. Comfortable, functional and well designed. Original Eames? Well you are looking at some big bucks, mine is a locally made replica and reasonably priced. Nevertheless designed exceptionally well with no details left out (I have compared against the original).
