You need to try these limited edition La Gloria Cubana cigars

You should never pass up a good cigar deal, especially one on a Limited Edition release like La Gloria Cubana’s 8th Street series. With an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, it delivers a rich, creamy, and delicious smoke all the way through. You’ll even taste a bit of apple pie as you glide through each third. But here’s the best part: A box of 10 is $59 off right now, which drops the price down to $160 instead of its usual $219. That’s a fantastic deal, and if you’re looking to stock your humidor with something a little less common, now’s a great time to do it.

Why you should buy the Limited Edition La Gloria Cubana 8th Street

Commemorating the 1990s boom of the La Gloria Cubana brand in the United States — the cigar maker has actually been around since as far back as 1885 — this Limited Edition release is worth a try, at the very least. The label borrows elements from the El Credito and El Titan de Bronze factories in Miami, which both put the company on the map and its creators, including one Ernesto Perez-Carillo Jr. While honoring the roots of the brand was the goal, the outcome is an incredibly nuanced and unique blend.

Available in a 6 x 50 toro size, with a medium to full body, and with an eclectic yet delicious blend, the La Gloria Cubana 8th Street series has lots of personality and flavor. An Ecuadorian Habano wrapper graces the outside and is joined by a Nicaraguan binder, as well as a blend of Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan fillers. Some of the flavors you can expect include molasses, dark chocolate, raisins, red pepper, apple pie, cake, plums, and more.

As a limited run, there are only 5,000 boxes of 10 cigars, which comes to a total production of 50,000 cigars. If you don’t know the scene, that means there really won’t be many of these in the wild once they sell out. There’s always a chance that you’ll never get to experience a limited release, especially depending on availability where you live.

If you’re at all interested in the blend or want to give the full-flavored cigar a try for yourself, this deal is the perfect time to acquire some. Normally $219 for a box of 10, you can get them for just $160 right now — saving $59. Be right back, I’m going to go order some for myself. I don’t want to miss out on this offer either.

The best shows to binge on Peacock in April
Lots of NBC hits are on Peacock now — here are the best shows to watch

There are definitely too many streaming services. Thanks to Netflix's revolution, every broadcast network and parent company decided that they had to get in on the streaming wars. Peacock TV is NBC Universal's streaming service, and although it may not seem like the most attractive option, there are actually a number of great Peacock movies and shows available on the service that are hard to find anywhere else.
Some of those popular shows are Peacock streaming originals, although there are plenty that initially aired on NBC or elsewhere and have found their way to Peacock thanks in part to the complicated nature of TV rights. Regardless, though, Peacock speaks to the impressive legacy of NBC Television. Growing up, I watched many of these shows as part of my regular nighttime routine. Now, thankfully, they're available at our fingertips anytime. Looking for more streaming options? We also have your guide to the best shows on Netflix, the best shows on Hulu, and the best shows on Paramount+.

April favorites: The best shows to watch on Starz
From Outlander to Party Down, these are the best shows you can stream on Starz
Outlanders

Since its inception, Starz has proven it can hang with larger competitors like Max. Although it's now making television in an incredibly crowded landscape, Starz has managed to regularly launch shows that make an impact, and it speaks to the enduring quality of these shows that they've also stood the test of time.
Because the streaming service is relatively niche, it can be hard to feel like it's worth the investment. I know from personal experience that, once you take the plunge and check out a few series on Starz, though, you'll realize just how deep the well of great stuff is. Any one of these shows would justify the price of a subscription.

Must-see films: The best movies on Peacock this April
Peacock is a TV service, but it also has a great catalog of movies to stream, too

A fun bit of historic TV trivia is that the original NBC peacock logo was first implemented in 1956 to highlight the network's new color programming. Even though the logo has gone through numerous iterations since then, the network has stuck with the colorful bird, in one form or another, for going on six decades now. It’s fitting, then, that Peacock is known most for its TV programming, highlighted by shows like The Office, Parks and Rec, and the self-mocking (and hilarious) 30 Rock. If you are on Peacock for the shows, however, don't overlook that the platform is also home to a number of great movies spanning cinema history, including everything from great comedy to excellent sports movies.

Below, I've picked out some of the best movies available on the service. I was surprised to see just how many greats there are to choose from, and I'm confident that whatever you like to watch, you'll find something good below.
