You don’t have to go the roses route on Valentine’s Day. Tulips are another popular favorite and are said to convey feelings of romance due to the resemblance of a tulip bud with puckered lips ready to kiss. The 1-800-Flowers Sweetest Love Tulips is an elegant bouquet of pink and red tulips; available in 15 or 30 stems. The tulips are picked fresh and are long-lasting. You can also choose to add on a red fluted glass vase, a vanilla soy wax candle, and an assortment of Belgian chocolate truffles to really take your Valentine’s Day flowers to the next level.

It can be hard to justify spending a lot of money on fresh flowers that will only last a matter of days, especially if you’re on a budget. Roses are gorgeous and certainly convey the romantic love that characterizes Valentine’s Day, but real roses brown rather quickly and then just become a distant memory. The LovePop Handcrafted Paper Flowers: A Dozen Roses bundle may be a bit of a sidestep off the path of typical Valentine’s Day flowers, but it’s an everlasting statement of love.

The gift pack comes with two separate flower boxes, each containing six exquisite, handcrafted red roses made out of premium paper. The paper roses not only have the realistic look of regular Valentine’s Day roses but also the elegance as well. Each of the two boxes contains six stemmed red paper roses, three stemmed paper baby’s breath, three paper mint leaf stems, two paper eucalyptus stems, and a red ribbon to complete the arrangement. The handmade paper flowers are 13 inches tall. If you want to make a lasting impression and show a little creativity in your Valentine’s Day flower gift-giving game, it’s certainly a cool choice to check out.

The 10 best Dominican cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024
Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Every seasoned cigar lover has a preference for where their cigars come from. Cuban and Cuban cigars are the more obvious choices, but there is also Nicaraguan tobacco, Central African, Indonesian, Mexican, Ecuadorian, and Dominican. Some tobacco is even grown in the United States. Each region has a distinct flavor profile that adds a little something extra to the tobacco grown locally, as well as the cigars made there. The Dominican Republic is prized by many connoisseurs because of exactly this -- a rich, unique profile that enhances Dominican-grown cigars. That's in no small part due to the fertile soil and thriving climate of the region, which is ideal for tobacco growth and cultivation. If you've never tried a Dominican cigar, you're in for a real treat, there are some fantastic options out there.
The best Dominican cigars I've tried

Out of all the cigar guides I've put together so far, this one was one of the more interesting experiences for me. I had a great time trying out Dominican cigars, and I've definitely come away with an appreciation for blends made in the region. I'd also like to point out that Corey Suarez helped recommend some of these. If you haven't tried the JR Cigars or Cigars.com concierge service yet, you really should. Here's a little more about all of the best Dominican cigars I've tried:

The 12 best Connecticut cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024
Best Connecticut cigars up close and personal

Connecticut cigars are the clear winner for smoking on a hot summer day, in the morning with some coffee, or when you just don't want a swift kick in the teeth (of pepper). There's no shortage of options, either. Connecticut shade wrappers are one of the most prevalent in the world of cigars, and it's certainly the most common natural shade. Maduro is also popular, but the two wrapper types couldn't be any more different. Connecticut wrappers, and by proxy Connecticut cigars, are typically mild to medium in strength and brimming with creamy, smooth flavors. They're composed of tobacco leaves grown in the Connecticut River Valley in the United States -- which is where the name Connecticut comes from. Consistent and flavorful, some of the best beginner-friendly cigars are Connecticut-wrapped, but you should never sell them short. A Connecticut shade cigar can be just as refined, elegant, and premium as any other. If you know where to look, you may even find some of your favorite blends in the category across a wide range of brands and cigar makers.

I'm about to take you on a magical, doughy, and delicious trek through the broad range of Connecticut cigars. In short, here are the best Connecticut cigars tried and tested by a genuine enthusiast of the craft: yours truly.
The best Connecticut cigars I've tried and tested
While the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is considered a Connecticut shade, I did my best to steer clear of recommending them for this list. They're better classified as a Maduro shade or darker cigar. That doesn't mean you should avoid them, quite the contrary. But for this list, I wanted to stick to smooth, relaxing smokes that are strong on flavor but not quite so strong on pepper and spice. I also tried not to choose a lot of repeats. If you see your favorite cigar missing, that might be because it was recommended on another list or it just didn't make the cut. If you have any recommendations of your own, I'm always available through social media or email. Without further ado, let's get this thing started.

Disney's streaming services are now preparing to crack down on those who are sharing passwords, and the consequences for doing so could be severe. Users across Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus will be warned about password sharing, and if they don't Disney CEO Bob Iger even laid out a timeline for when the crackdown will start, although he didn't get into too many specifics.
