In our dreams we own a yacht…a super slick yacht with a full crew, a swimming pool and a swish built-in bar. As ultra-luxe as that may sound to us, when we saw the line-up for the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, our humble dreams were well and truly put to shame. These yachts are on a whole other level of opulence. Allow us to fuel your daydreams and blow your mind with our selection of the five greatest.

1. Riva Mythos 122

Recommended Videos

The latest offering from the revered Ferretti group measures a whopping 37.5m long, making it their largest yet. The insanely sleak aluminium design houses a bridge featuring a Jacuzzi and luxury lounge area, an owner’s suite and several guest cabins – this baby will sleep ten people in case you were wondering – all of which can be customized to bespoke specifications. If that wasn’t enough, it has been awarded a Green Plus Yacht award for its progressive environmentally friendly performance, so you can sail guilt-free.

2. Benetti Ocean Paradise

If 37.5m doesn’t quite cut it, the Benetti Ocean Paradise measures an insane 55m in length. One for the style-conscious sailor, the fully customizable design options includes a combination of both transparent and opaque materials in honor of the ocean. There are four guest cabins each featuring a gigantic bathtub and seaviews, a master suite spread across the entire length of the yacht, a central hall and a hidden garage complete with a mooring platform for jet-skis. Yikes…

3. Otam 58ht

OK, here’s one for smooth criminals. Dubbed 58HT M/Y “Crazy Too”, this amazing design features a custom colored black hull and hardtop, a ‘carbon look’ deck, a single cabin, a twin guest room and a master cabin, each with its own en-suite. There’s also a custom wine cellar a master cabin with a full surround sound HD cinema and a M7 satellite dome so you can catch all your fave TV programmes way out on the ocean.

4. Logica 147 by Logica Yachts

The Logica 147 is perfect for those times when you don’t wanna abandon ship for a dip, thanks to the extra large swimming pool located on the main deck. This sleek yacht also sleeps 12, so its perfect for pool party’s on the move, and the MAN engines boast an impressive cruising speed of 14.7 knots.

5. 46 Displacement by Baglietto SP

Did somebody say P A R T Y boat? Look no further than the 46 Displacement. This insane vessel actually features a beach club in the stern. Honestly. As for the rest, you can expect a beautiful Nordic-style interior and two 3512B Caterpillar engines that can reach a maximum speed of 17 knots. Not too shabby right…

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.
