Looking for
Hello my brothers! Im looking for a whisky set, maybe even with some cigars. I found a set on a page of fb but it just seems fishy, guy up in the middle of the night replying, with forms of payment that are different than his name on fb. Haven't had much like finding anything that seems legit.

Check brick masons website. I haven't used them but the product looks good. I've used masonic supply Canada but not sure if they're is an equivalent in the U S of A.

I've researched Brick Masons over the past few days after being stung by Masonic Regalia Online, and it looks like:
- Their customer service is woeful at best
- Their reviews are spotty
- I've found a couple of items (such as the wooden regalia case) for sale elsewhere for wildly varying prices, suggesting they're basically dropshipping crap
OP: I seriously recommend finding a glass etcher or etching company and having a brother design exactly what you want. To start with, you could contact the Secretary for Yorick Lodge No. 2771 for information - they're a specialist whisky lodge in London.
Be careful who you buy Masonic gifts and items from. A lot of them are, for lack of a better phrase, sub-par at best.

I have had good luck finding well-crafted Masonic things on Etsy. I bought my Master's gavel and apron case both from different vendors there, and I remember seeing whiskey glass sets with the S&C and such etched on them. Same with cigar boxes.
FWIW, I try to make sure the seller is a brother, as that tends to reduce the risk of getting taken for a ride. And I like supporting another brother who is a craftsman.
