Have you ever dreamed of getting behind the wheel of a your dream car for an entire day or more? Gotham Dream Cars can turn that dream into reality. Whether you want to indulge in a Bentley, experience the speed of a Porsche or impress your date with a Rolls Royce, all you need to do is pay a visit to Gotham Dream Cars.

The concept for Gotham Dream Cars began with a simple problem. “We searched for a place to rent a supercar, and we didn’t find any worth a phone call,” says company founder and CEO Noah Lehmann-Haupt on the company website. “There are lots of places where you could rent what others call an “exotic” car — a Viper, a Lotus, or even a PT cruiser. But when it came to what we call an exotic — a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, or Aston Martin, the market fell short.”

In 2004 Lehmann-Haupt decided to create a solution, so he founded Gotham Dream Cars with a 2001 Ferrari 360 Modena. Gotham Dream Cars lets you choose from three options: exotic car rental, which allows you to rent your car for a day, weekend or more; The Dream Car Sprint, where drivers can get behind the wheel of their car of choice and hit up the company’s autocross course; and The Dream Car Tour, where you get to drive six of the hottest vehicles in existence back to back on specially-selected roads.

With outposts in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, Gotham Dream Cars is on the fast track to being the leader of luxury car rentals. You don’t even have to leave your house to pick it up; one of the company’s trusty transporters will deliver the vehicle right to your door.

And in case you were wondering, a Rolls Royce Drophead, which has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $450,000, is the most expensive vehicle in Gotham Dream Cars’s luxurious fleet.

Why you should take advantage of this free humidor deal from Famous Smoke Shop
Cigars need to stay humidified, or they'll dry out. Sure, you can rehydrate a dry cigar, but by the time you do, it will have lost all its natural oils and complex flavor. It will never be as good as it originally was, and that's a bummer.

The 12 best small cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024

Big cigars take a while to smoke. We're talking hours for some of the largest stogies out there unless you're puffing too often -- which you shouldn't do. But the cigar world is vast, and not only does that mean a ton of different cigar blends, from Maduro and Corojo to Nicaraguan and Cuban-made, but there are also a plethora of sizes from small to big. You don't have to buy, smoke, or even try a massive stogie, and I would argue against doing so for something like the . There are cigars much bigger than that. I can't imagine that would be a relaxing smoke, if at all enjoyable. Shrinking things down is possible, and I'm not referring to a Robusto or petite size either. I mean closer to a cigarillo. If you're looking for something short and sweet but packed with loads of great flavor, here are the best small cigars I've tried and tested in 2024.

Most of the time, if I want a quick cigar or something smaller, I'll reach for a nub or Robusto size. I prefer a full-bodied cigar and small cigars typically don't provide that. However, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a smaller cigar or cigarillo occasionally. My top recommend is the . They are fantastic. Here is a little more detail about all the small cigars I've tried and loved in 2024.

Liam Neeson's career has been one of the most fascinating in Hollywood history. This Irish screen legend towers over his peers literally (he's 6'4'') and metaphorically (he's starred in Academy Award winners and blockbusters alike.) Neeson started out as a supporting actor in the 1980s before supplanting some of the biggest names in the industry. His rise to first-team status in the 1990s can be attributed to his unforgettable performance in Schindler's List.
