The Arlo Skye Carry-on Will Go the Distance With You

If you’ve traveled with a carry-on, you know how important it is to find the right one. Flimsy ones can leave you with your clothes splayed out all over the place at the airport. Ones that are too heavy might put you over the weight limit if you fly an airline that puts weight limits on carry ons. Also, the right price point is very important. If you’re going to pay a lot for a suitcase, you’ll want to make sure it won’t crack in a year’s time, especially if you’re always traveling. The folks at Arlo Skye came up with a suitcase that’s stylish, sleek and functional.

Made of 7 micron anodized aluminum magnesium alloy, the Arlow Skye carry-on comes in three colorways: penguin black, sardine silver, or champagne. It weighs only 9.2 pounds, full-grain leather handles, integrated TSA locks, anti-microbial, high density lining, silent run Lisof wheels, and it holds 32 liters. Designed in New York, and assembled in China, the carry-on will go with you wherever you bring it. Plus, you get more than just a suitcase. Included are two removable compression, packing panels, one laundry bag, a set of notecards featuring the Art of Daydreaming series by James Magnusson, one portable charger with a charging cable, two shoe bags, and one full-grain leather name tag.

The design team behind the Arlo Skye carry-on took to the sky for inspiration, thinking about stargazing, pondering, and dreaming. They say, “if you’re going to get lost in the clouds, you might as well do it with elegance.” With the Arlo Skye carry-on, you can do that and much more.

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.
