Coleman National Parks Centennial Series

Our National Parks are celebrating one hundred years of connecting Americans with our wild lands, so what better way than to visit a Park than a late-summer road trip? Coleman has brought back some classic designs to honor the heritage of our National Parks with the Coleman National Parks Centennial series line of camping stoves and accessories. We couldn’t be more excited to take some of this gear and hit the highway.

FyreKnight Stove, $150

Coleman FyrekKnight Stove
In 2015, Coleman intriduced their Hyperflame design to their classic briefcase stoves (we love them for some good basecamp cooking). The all new FyreKnight incorporates Hyperflame with classic National Park colors and the Centennial logo. It also features rugged bumpers so it won’t slip when you’re cooking on a tailgate or picnic table. We recommend augmenting it with one of Coleman’s Cast Iron Griddles ($35) so you can really step up your campsite breakfast game.

Steel Belted Cooler, $200

Coleman Steel Belted Cooler
This 54-quart cooler conjures up some of our best childhood camping memories. While it looks just like dad’s old Coleman cooler from the 1960s, the stainless steel body is decidedly more durable for long hauls in the back of a truck. It’s large enough to hold 85 cans of your favorite beverage, and tall enough to fit upright two-liter bottles. Rated to hold ice for up to four days, this mighty little cooler can handle all your long weekend needs.

NorthStar Lantern, $65

Coleman Northstar Lantern
The NorthStar is a refinement of Coleman’s decades-long best selling lantern line. The National Parks Centennial livery makes this a special piece to bring along. Its push button ignition takes the guess work out of turning the gas just right for getting it lit with matches. A maximum 1540-lumen brightness means your campsite will be well lit long into the night as you prepare dinner and enjoy a few campfire cocktails.

Don’t ruin your cigars: here’s how to properly season a new humidor
Seasoning secrets every cigar lover could use

If you're a newcomer to the world of cigars or just bought a brand-new humidor, you'll need to season it. And no, I'm not saying to add salt and pepper to it. If you've never heard of it, you might ask, "What is seasoning for a humidor?"

Don't think you need to flavor the box or anything — seasoning is really about getting the wood inside your humidor so as not to rob your cigars of precious moisture. Easy to understand, and getting it done is relatively straightforward as well. The trick is figuring out the "why," and we'll get into that in a bit. But let's first discuss seasoning a humidor.

The NBA’s ultimate celebration tool: The victory cigar
A look at the players and coaches who smoke to celebrate

Sports are synonymous with celebration. After winning the biggest trophy of their lives, athletes want to indulge in the payoff that comes with seeing their dreams realized. Teams go into the locker room, where a waterfall of champagne hits them in the eyes, and swimming goggles seem to be a requirement, lest you walk around on the best night of your life half blind. While drinking is often the activity of choice after winning a championship, the NBA has an alternative symbol of greatness that other sports don't use nearly enough: the victory cigar.

Basketball is a team game, but it's also an individual canvas for solo superstardom. After winning an NBA championship, the coaches and players who sit atop the throne have long smoked a cigar in the locker room, during the parade, or even on the bench before the clock has hit zero. There's nothing quite like a good stogie to signify the ultimate win over the rest of the league, but how did the victory cigar get so ingrained in NBA championship celebrations? We want to take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the historical moments and people who made the cigar what it is within the NBA today.

The best medical shows of all time to binge now
From ER to The Pitt, these are the best medical shows ever made
Noah Wyle in the Pitt

Throughout TV's long history, the medical drama has occupied a somewhat unique place in the landscape. Medical shows are often some of the most reliable on TV precisely because there's so much drama built in to working in a hospital.

Personally, I've found the medical drama to be deeply comforting for years, even if I have no desire to be a doctor myself. Understanding the stress of people in the healthcare profession is fascinating in and of itself.
