Starz has a limited-time special offer that drops the price of a new subscription for its streaming service down to $3 per month for the first three months.

The special offer won’t be available long, so take advantage while you can!

In addition to excellent movies — like Bad Boys for Life, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, The Equalizer 2, Matilda, Bloodshot, and many others — you can also catch a host of high-production, obsessable TV shows on Starz. Exclusives include the Power series, Heels, Blindspotting, P-Valley, American Gods, High Town, and beyond. In fact, Starz is one of the best streaming services for lovers of both movies and TV shows, original productions notwithstanding. We’ve even put together some lists to help you find the best shows on Starz, as well as the best movies on Starz, all streaming now.

Starz is available for streaming on nearly all devices, from computers, tablets, and smartphones to smart TVs and streaming devices. The list of support devices is quite long, and even includes game consoles like the Xbox One and Xbox Series. That also makes it incredibly easy to gift as you don’t have to worry about your family, or friends, not having a compatible device.

What’s more, being able to watch all those movies and TV shows on the go will be a super-convenient and enjoyable experience if you’re traveling for the holidays. Whether you’re taking a long road trip, bus ride, or flying, you’ll always have something to watch. Thanks to the new deal, which drops the price of your first three months, there’s no reason not to subscribe. Head on over to Starz and sign up now. You can always see your next billing date from your account in the Starz app or website — under My Subscription — so it’s easy to change anytime.

Disney is arguably the most iconic entertainment brand in the world. The company's properties, both original and acquired, combine to produce content that transcends age demographics. Disney has built a brand that's beloved by children, and those children eventually age into adults who introduce their kids to the films they loved when they were young. Disney's animation alone has made it iconic, but in recent years, the company has also acquired some of the biggest pieces of intellectual property there are. And, with Disney Plus available on any device, you can watch all these movies whenever you want.

Between its acquisitions of both Marvel and Star Wars, there's a good chance that whatever you love is being shepherded to screens both large and small by Disney. When they launched Disney+, the company was sure to fill it with both those nostalgic animated classics and plenty of new stuff as well. It's meant to be a streaming service for all ages, which is why the selection of movies available there is so diverse. These Disney Plus movies will make you laugh and cry and leave you eager for a rewatch. Here's a look at the best movies on Disney Plus.

Where do cigars come from? A guide to the premium tobacco growing regions

Cigars are composed of various tobacco leaves, including fillers, a binder, and a wrapper on the outside. The tobacco that makes up those leaves is grown in a variety of regions worldwide and undergoes several processes to create the flavor and blend that is eventually rolled into a premium cigar. While many factors influence the result, mainly how the tobacco tastes when it's smoked, none are more important than its cultivation, growth, and harvest. Tobacco grown in Nicaragua will taste very different from tobacco grown in Cuba or even Indonesia. It has to do with the local climate, the soil and its contents, average sun exposure, and much more. But most cigars include a blend or mixture of tobacco leaves, sometimes from entirely different regions, like Nicaraguan fillers and an African Cameroon wrapper. So, when posing the question, "Where do cigars come from," it makes more sense to look at the regions where tobacco is grown.
