Giveaway: The Perfect Pair of Yoga Shorts by OHMME

Right now you’re about to give up on your New Year’s resolution to get fit. And that’s understandable, because building new habits is hard — it’s winter, it’s cold and dark outside all the time, and, honestly, it’s much easier to hide a little excess flab under a winter sweater than to get to the gym and do a full series of yoga poses. We hear you, we really do. But, we’re also here to motivate you to keep your resolution and to get fit, if not for your looks, then certainly for your health. And we’ve got a giveaway that serves as not only a fun thing to win to improve your mood (hello serotonin spike), it’s also a behavioral nudge to get on the mat.

Thanks to our friends over at OHMME, a men’s athletic movement apparel maker seeking to “change the attitudes of current societal stereotypes of masculinity … encourgain[ing] guys to be able to move more freely through practices like yoga and be totally comfortable in their own skin,” we’re giving away to 46 individual winners either a pair of the brand’s 2-Dogs Lined Yoga Shorts or a pair of its Mayura shorts in black.

The sizing for this giveaway is restricted to mediums only, a size that provides a 16.25-inch outside leg length for both shorts, with both appropriate for waist sizes between 29 and 33 inches.

Just enter to win below for your chance at one of these great pieces of athletic wear. And, even if you’re not into yoga (you should be) or working out all that much, both pairs of shorts are pretty damned good for lounging. Just sayin’ …

Learn how to smoke a pipe the proper way with our guide for beginners
Let us show you the classy way to smoke a pipe
Packing a pipe

Pipe smoking is the most aesthetically distinguished way to enjoy tobacco, but you lose the classy effect if you don’t know how to smoke a pipe properly. Smoking a pipe has become a lost art, and these days, most people who engage in pipe smoking do so to achieve a sense of nostalgia. Perhaps your grandfather enjoyed a puff now and again paired with a good stiff whiskey, or maybe your goal is to emulate a pipe-smoking artist.

I know that I enjoy a good puff on a pipe now and then, and knowing the right way to enjoy a pipe has made the experience much more pleasurable for for me. Whatever the case, if you intend to take up the time-honored tradition of unwinding with a pipe like me, you should learn how to smoke a pipe the right way. And smoking a pipe is very different than smoking a cigar (except you shouldn't be inhaling either).

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.
