The Noblemen and Gentlemen's Catch Club, founded in London in 1761, is a historic musical society dedicated to the performance and encouragement of catches, canons, and glees. Known for its exclusive, male-only membership—including royalty and aristocracy—the club fostered English vocal music through annual prize competitions and dinners, fostering a tradition of conviviality and elite social gathering.

Origins & Purpose: Formed in November 1761, it was established to promote the composition of musical catches and glees, often blending formal dinners with musical performance.

Membership: The club was highly exclusive, featuring Earls, Lords, and Generals as original members. Later, it included royalty such as George IV (elected 1786) and William IV (elected 1789), as well as professional musicians who were elected members to assist with performance standards.

The "Glee" Tradition: The club was influential in promoting "glees"—a form of part-song—and held prize competitions for composers to submit new works. John Wall Callcott was a particularly dominant prize-winner, winning multiple prizes in 1785 and continuing to submit many entries in later years.

The Warren Collection: Thomas Warren, the first secretary, published annual collections of catches and glees performed by the club between 1762 and 1793.

Atmosphere: Meetings involved strict "Harmony and Unanimity," with, as described in this article from Blue Anchor Corner, the club's motto, characterized by the consumption of food, wine, and the singing of humorous or sometimes "bawdy" catches.

Longevity: The club was still active as of 1961, celebrating its 200th anniversary at the House of Lords, as noted in this article from Taylor & Francis Online

Excellent Cigar Tube!
Color: RYLCC-BLK
This impressive cigar carrier is a complete and safe way to carry one cigar. This holder is light aluminum; you can throw it in a range bag, backpack, or any other carrier without worry. This carrier has a punch for your cigar and a built-in cigar stand. I love my cigar carrier; I have just enough capacity to enjoy my cigar.

Picture is misleading
Color: RYLCC-BLK
Great product! Good quality! The picture of the product is a little misleading as it looks like there are 2 tubes instead of one.

Very Pleased!

Review for: Cooling Gel Wrist Rest Pad -Full Size 18"- Memory Foam Palm Rest with Non-Slip Footpad - Ergonomic Design Wrist Support - Desk Keyboard Accessory Gaming Gear (Large-Full Size). I've had this for a week and I'm impressed! There is no skimping on quality, which is rare nowadays. It is made extremely well, solid yet soft. I love the feel of the outer cover. It's comfortable and stays in place. And let me add... I'm putting it to the test. I have a rolling over-bed/couch desk. It has a raised 1/4" lip around the top. I put this wrist-rest on top of that lip. So far there's not any wear across the bottom of this wrist-rest. And that's with me using it for my wrists... and my elbows. It far surpasses the last rest I bought. From my experience, many sellers slap the phrase "memory foam" on their products when they are not. That's NOT the case here. This rest immediately bounces back to its original shape. It's true memory foam! It's so comfortable that I forget it's there yet I enjoy the comfort immensely. Also, it has no smell. ***From my experience so far... I highly recommend this product!
