Whisky and cigars. Yachts and bikinis. Bond and Martinis. Few things in life are so obviously meant to be. With the help of cigar aficionado, Lincoln Salazar, we smoked (sorry Mom) our way through some of the world’s finest cigars to bring you the ultimate gentleman’s guide to the finer things in life. As it turns out, food isn’t the only way to a man’s heart. Going through the lungs works well too. Here are our top picks for 2022.
