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.

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.

This is when the Hulu, ESPN+, Disney+ password sharing crackdown starts

The Disney Plus sign-up menu is displayed

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.

Alan Ritchson in Reacher.

The era of Jack Ryan may be over, but Reacher is carrying on as one of the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

But for Prime Video, Alan Ritchson has stepped into the role of Jack Reacher, a former member of the United States Army Military Police Corps who drifts from town to town and takes justice into his own hands when the local law enforcement isn't enough.

Prime Video didn't waste any time before renewing Reacher for a third season last year. And while new episodes are still several months away, we're sharing everything we know about Reacher season 3.
