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?

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.

The era of password sharing is slowly but surely coming to an end. Netflix has already begun cracking down on people sharing passwords across households, and now, other streaming services are following suit. Before 2024 is over, Disney Plus password sharing will be a thing of the past.

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.
