In 1859, prospectors discovered large quantities of gold throughout the Rocky Mountains, and Colorado’s gold rush was on. The search for gold led to the founding of many new communities, including Golden, the birthplace of Coors Banquet. 

Now Coors is celebrating the 150^th anniversary of Colorado’s gold rush with a contest that every guy should love - a trip to a brewery and beer for a year! Coors Banquet, which began quenching miners’ thirst in 1873, is giving its fans a chance to strike gold. Through an online sweepstakes running now through Sept. 30, Coors Banquet Facebook fans will have the opportunity to win a one-year supply of Coors Banquet*, a VIP trip for two to the Coors Banquet Brewery, a book about Golden and a live goldfish named Banquet.

So if you are looking for an awesome Rock Mountains mancation this is an opportunity you shouldn't ignore!

Ok, so this might not be directly travel related, but if you are planning a staycation mancation this might be the ultimate way to build a fantastic man cave / cigar lounge. Plus, because Partagas is paying, you won't have to explain to the wife why you are spending $10,000 on something just for you and the guys, instead of using it to take a second honeymoon in Jamaica.

All you need to do is buy a pack of Partagas Black Label Clasico cigars to get the entry code and then visit www.partagascigarcave.com to share where you currently smoke your cigars and why you deserve to win. Partagas has even created a gallery where guys are uploading videos and even written stories of why they deserve to win. If the stuff up there already is any indication of where this contest is going, it should make for some great material for a while to come.

Kicking off the contest is Tony Siragusa, former defensive tackle for the Indianaplis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens who like many of us just wants a great place to relax with the guys and enjoy a great cigar. Even if you aren't a smoker, the video on the intro to the site will certainly give you a chuckle and is a great lead-in to the others from real guys, like you and me that are found inside.

Hurry on over, the Partagas Win a Cigar Cave contest ends on July 31, 2009.

The best winter vacations include macho outdoor activities, and America’s wild West is the perfect place to take part in the fun.

ManTripping was invited to Vegas for a reason that dates back to 1691. No joke. It's the HARLEM Kruiden Liqueur Shot Showcase at Rain Nightclub in The Palms.

Allow me introduce you to HARLEM. HARLEM comes from a town just outside of Amsterdam called “Haarlem.” While similar to Jägermeister in that it is an herbal liqueur best served as a frozen shot, this one ranks far above anything like it that we've sampled.

In this economy you have probably wondered at least once how you are going to pay for your next guys weekend or mancation. Well luckily Cohiba®, the world-renowned brand of handcrafted Dominican cigars has an answer!

Cohiba is partnering with Marquis Jets to give one lucky guy the chance to live the Cohiba lifestyle by awarding them the ultimate prize of a luxury vacation to the location of his choice. Cigar smokers will also get the chance to share their dream destinations on CohibaLifestyle.com and vote on the entries for additional prizes.
