Country Superstar Luke Bryan • July/August 2026

Luke Bryan’s life has known hardship, but he’s soldiered through to become one of country music’s most popular artists.

We sat down with the music superstar to discuss his journey from a small town in Georgia to sold-out arenas, the struggles he has experienced along the way and how he’s come to love cigars. This issue also covers America’s most luxurious golf resorts, the boom of prediction markets and a Q&A with Davidoff CEO Beat Hauenstein. Plus, we look at new cigars from Cuba, recap Big Smoke Florida, learn about Guy Fieri’s favorite cigar and so much more. You’ll also find 72 new, expert cigar reviews across a host of sizes.
