Discommon The Lowball
There aren’t many tumblers that could be described as “badass,” but this one definitely deserves that acclaim. This tumbler was designed to be similar to traditional crystal glasses, but made from machine-cut aluminum. This true original was made from the same stuff they make space shuttles out of and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. “Excessive? Maybe, but some might say that aging a drink for 18 or even 30 years is excessive—we beg to differ,” reads the site.

Steer Horn Drinking Cups
This tumbler set is for the outdoorsman who like to end a day of adventuring with a stiff drink. Crafted from authentic steer horn, these tumblers are perfect for your favorite whiskey. The most interesting aspect is that no two tumblers look the same because of the different colors and grain variations. They are sold pairs because, well, a man should enjoy some company with his drink.

Royal North Company Wooden Tumblers
We’ve already seen tumblers made from crystal, copper and even horn. These tumblers from Royal North are simply made from wood. But, they aren’t made from just any wood. Each tumbler is made from one solid piece of Canadian birch before being finished with oil and coated with a water-based topcoat to ensure your precious alcohol doesn’t leak through.
