Robb Vices August 2019 Review
Included is a handy booklet with all of our product info. These are always filled with tons of useful info and great images.
Johnny Fly 'Hughes' Sunglasses - Retail Value $185.00
I absolutely love getting sunglasses in boxes, especially expensive ones! These are really unique because they have a frame made of actual wood layered on top of a steel skeleton. They are also polarized, which is great, especially for those drives home with the sun directly in my face. I appreciate that the gold accents are brushed, which makes them less flashy and this finish looks superb with the dark wood grain. They are lightweight but still feel like great quality and they are large enough to look great on my big face! Because these are a classic sort of shape and a nice size, I can't imagine these not looking great on most people.
Here they are on my face. The woodgrain is really noticeable, in a great way.
Runamok Maple Smoked Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup, 250 ml - Retail Value $16.95
My first impression of this bottle was how beautiful it was. Made of super heavy glass in a modern shape, it would be a beautiful addition to a bar cart. Aside from adding this to your favorite cocktail for an extra kick, it would be delicious drizzled on fish or sweet potatoes. The scent is over-the-top smoky, while the taste has a nice balance of sweet and spice. Though this would be too spicy for me to personally enjoy on my dinner, I do tend to love a spicy cocktail!
West + Wilder Sparkling White Wine, three 250 ml cans - Estimated Value $17.50 (Buy a 6 pack for $35.00)
Canned wine? Heck yes! This little trio equals out to about a bottle of wine, and the cans and labels are really functional as well as beautiful. I chilled my first can and excitedly popped the tab. I really enjoy sparkling wine (I enjoy sparkling ANYTHING) and we have had a few super hot days here recently. This was a perfect porch sipper to watch the sunset with my husband and pups. It is a very bright tasting wine, and though I wouldn't say it was super dry, it definitely wasn't sweet. It had notes of citrus and flowers and just the right bit to acidity to be dangerously drinkable!
Verdict: This Robb Vices box felt a little light. I happened to adore the sunglasses but if you don't, this box might be a miss for you. The value totals somewhere around $219.45, which is okay for a $129.95 box but not over the top. It might have benefitted from an additional item (or a 6 pack of wine!). I do love the emphasis on small brands and craftsmanship, which was more than apparent in this assortment, but I hope to see more items next month to spread some of that box value around.
