'stache #20 - bigote con datiles a plancha con touciƱo



The Bacon-Wrapped Date Moustache is a liphair of honor! Thought to be introduced by Philip V, the Bourbon King, the bacon-wrapped date 'stache was quickly devoured by the Spanish leisuring literati, always engaging in conspicuous consumption and imitating its enlightened despots! But who can blame them? This sweet porky morsel has survived the centuries, unscathed in reputation, and imitated only by the bacon-wrapped scallop 'stache. This moustache can be worn all year.

'stache #17 - bigote de manchego



The Manchego moustache, quite obviously, was popularized by Miguel de Cervantes, whose own much larger, nappier 'stache, was caught up by and cut by an army of vicious windmills. The Manchego moustache should be worn at room temperature and is prone to sweating, and goes notably well with saffronstache, a second cousin. This moustache can be worn all year, but is best in autumn.
