Canyonwoods Castle Lets You Live the Royal Life in the Midst of Montana’s Stunning Vistas

Beyond the wood and iron gate, a winding path illuminated by shining lanterns leads to the stone castle. Surrounded by tree-covered hills, this retreat is tucked away from the city lights, offering plenty of privacy. It’s a unique and romantic setting, but this is no Disney princess castle. This is a thoroughly masculine manse set in rugged Montana. Canyonwoods Castle has everything to make your royal dreams come true. 

Located just outside of the exclusive Ironwood neighborhood of Billings, Canyonwoods Castle takes luxury living up a notch. Pulling inspiration from the classic “Big Sky Country” slogan, everything about this home is bigger. The garage can hold up to 14 cars. There is over 30,000 square feet of living space. There are 10 en-suites, with a total of 15 full baths and 4 half baths interspersed throughout the residence. One pool isn’t enough for royalty, so this home has three, one indoor and two outside — both flanked by fire cauldrons. There’s even a swim-up bar. A sprawling estate such as this requires plenty of land to roam, and Canyonwoods Castle boasts an impressive 98 acres to enjoy the impressive outdoor amenities Montana is known for.

This new construction castle is asking an eyebrow-raising $13,950,000. High-priced living comes with luxuries us average folks can’t even begin to imagine, making this a dream spot to settle down in for the lucky future buyer. You can get ready for hunting season at the indoor shooting range, accessed via two sets of bank vault doors. There is also a golf simulator and a two-lane bowling alley — all there to help pass the time on rainy days. Or take in a flick in the private 12-seat movie theater. Of course the whole point of living in Montana is to enjoy the stunning outdoors, and naturally Canyonwoods Castle has that covered through a series of private walking trails.

The amenities don’t stop there. The castle features things like radiant heated outdoor patios and even a heated driveway to melt away the piles of snow Montana receives every winter. Inside, the stunning spiral staircase in the grand family room can take you to the top, but why walk when you can use the circular glass elevator? Both custom built, the stairs were designed to wrap around the elevator — a unique feature that most other luxuries homes don’t have.

Inside and out, Canyonwoods Castle was designed in a classic mountain rustic decor. Rooms are grand lodge style, with gigantic fireplaces, massive chandeliers, and plenty of wood and iron accents. Nothing was overlooked when designing this home and it truly is a dream castle – there’s even a drawbridge and a moat. Welcome home, your highness.

How long should you let new cigars rest in a humidor?
Cigar humidor

Looking at those beautiful, oily cigars you've just unboxed or unwrapped, the calling to light up is real. I get it. I always want to smoke my cigars right away, too. But you shouldn't. Mail day is always exciting after you've ordered a slew of new cigars. When they arrive, the real fun begins. You'll probably need to organize your humidor to make the new sticks fit or arrange them for optimal humidification. As you're handling them, it's difficult to resist the temptation to crack open the cellophane or boxes and smoke one right away. While you can do that in most cases, I would recommend against it. Depending on where those cigars came from, where you live, and how they traveled, they might need a little time to rest in a humidor. They'll need to replenish some humidity and moisture or dry out a little.
How long should you let your new cigars rest?

When you put cigars in a humidor, especially one that's filled, they'll soak up and release humidity over time until they reach the average RH (relative humidity) that you have set inside your humidor. If you have a device like a that does this automatically, it will produce moisture and humidity to keep the levels optimal. You can also achieve the same thing with in smaller humidors, which release and soak up the humidity to match the levels on the label. Boveda packs come in a range of RH levels, from the low to mid-60s to the mid-70s.

Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves

An all-American, blue-collar working man turned Hollywood essential, Kevin Costner has lived a life full of experience and dreams that some can only imagine. Starting out as a small kid -- 5'2" at high school graduation -- who moved around a lot, Costner was fond of things like poetry, writing, and singing in his Baptist choir. Outside of the arts, he was also very interested in sports of all kinds, which is reflected in his film career to this day. Also a man of the outdoors, Costner built his own canoe at 18 and paddled it through sections where Lewis and Clark ventured.

From his past life, accomplishments, and hobbies, Costner was fully prepared to write, direct, and act for the screen as he fulfilled yet another lifelong dream. A man who was once called "The King of the Sports Movie," Costner has been able to act in films of a subject matter near and dear to his heart that became the films he is best known for.

Here are the best Kevin Costner movies of all time.

The best Quentin Tarantino movies, ranked – Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and more
If you haven't seen these films at least one time, you need to ... and then watch them again and again
Scene from Pulp Fiction, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson

Of all the contemporary film auteurs, perhaps no one’s work has permeated pop culture as thoroughly as Quentin Tarantino's. This director’s hyper-stylized, retro fantasy worlds have come to define cinematic coolness. His clever mashups of genres, exquisite sense of aesthetics, impeccable editing, uproarious suspensefulness, and impossibly quippy dialogue have been endlessly imitated.
Given the current political landscape, Tarantino’s work has undergone a serious critical re-evaluation from Black and feminist critics and scholars who point toward both his allegedly abusive behaviors and the offensive politics and rhetoric of his films. It’s true that in this new light, for many, there may be nothing redeemable about his entire oeuvre. 
However, to discard all Quentin Tarantino movies would discount the impossible talent of his frequent collaborators and stars, such as Sally Menke (who edited all of Tarantino’s movies until her death in 2010), Uma Thurman (who not only played the protagonist of Tarantino’s most iconic movies but was also credited as a co-writer on Kill Bill), Samuel L. Jackson (a frequent Tarantino star), and many more.
With that in mind, here’s our (subjective!) ranking of the greatest directed Quentin Tarantino movies of all time.
