What sounds appealing to you: tailgating with your best buds, or a solo road trip on the open road?

If the answer is “both,” then you need the latest offering from Bowlus Road Chief, a brand that crafts classic aluminum trailers. This collector’s edition model is dubbed the Super Bowlus, and for obvious reasons: it comes complete decked out in football swag.

We’re talking a hook-up for a barbecue pit, indoor/outdoor tables and seating, and additional screen attachments. But don’t think you can only bust it out during the NFL playoffs. This bad boy was made for tailgating all footballl season long (or hell, during any season — baseball, soccer, basketball, hockey, curling, whatever floats your boat).

The Super Bowlus is an upgrade on the brand’s base option, the Super Bowlus Road Chief. Features include a full-size sofa, two armchairs, a small but fully-stocked kitchen, built-in charging stations, and a smart layout. But, of course, the Super Bowlus has leather accents and a unique color scheme that you won’t see in any other models.

Fun fact: The Bowlus Road Chief dates back to 1935 and a man named Hawley Bowlus. His initial design was the first-ever aluminum trailer; Airstreams were introduced until a few years later by a previous Bowlus employee.

If this looks like it should be your new favorite toy, you’re going to have to act fast; less than five Super Bowlus will be made, and one of those has already been sold. The cost? A cool $147,500, which is only a few grand more than the Bowl Road Chief base model. For more information, head to the Bowlus website.

And because everyone knows the commercials are the best part of the Super Bowl, check out this Super Bowlus cameo in this hilarious Squarespace ad starring Keanu Reeves — did you know that he designs bikes through his own shop, Arch Motorcycles?

Where do cigars come from? A guide to the premium tobacco growing regions
man smoking small cigar by engin-akyurt unsplash

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.
The Big Five

Not all tobacco comes from the Big Five regions; however, a large majority of the tobacco leaves produced and sold, even to partners in the business, come from fairly localized tobacco growers in the following locations:
Cuba
Everyone has heard of Cuban cigars, Cuban tobacco, and the forbidden fruit, at least in the United States. Ever since the U.S. government activated an embargo against Cuban goods back in 1962, Cuban tobacco cannot be imported or sold in the country. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that Cuba is the birthplace of modern cigars and has inspired many of today's biggest tobacco producers in the world.
