@asha.luna by @bylouisgay   20 Years of Gmail Gmail was introduced to the world two decades ago, on April Fools’ Day. And the press release was so goofy, many assumed it was a hoax. A tech company using a cheeky holiday to do some kind of… what? We’re not sure. Some kind of marketing scheme?  No. No. Gmail wasn’t kidding around.   All the Quintessential Cigar Brands in One Sample Pack [Partner]  Few cigar brands have stood the test of time. But the ones that have, well, they’re must-smokes. The 8 brands featured in Cigora’s new Quintessential Sampler are such cigars. They haven’t just survived. They’ve thrived. Some of the world's most beloved brands like Cohiba, Montecristo, CAO, Macanudo, and Rocky Patel serve as the perfect introduction to the world of cigars. These 8 brands are ones that every cigar smoker should know, and once you smoke them, it’ll be easy to see why they’re the best in the industry. Right now, you can pick up this 8-cigar Sampler for $39.99.  Plus, Cigora will cover shipping.   Why Thieves Love to Steal Razors As you may know, we recently made the switch to a double edge safety razor. It’s a better shave and all that. But the real reason we made the switch? Because stores don’t lock up the razors. You don’t have to track down an employee, get them to unlock the thing, yada, yada.  We all know thieves love stealing razors. Buy why?   The 25 Whiskeys You Need to Try Before You Die Call it a bucket list for whiskey. But imagine the bucket in miniature. And make it a glass bucket, not a plastic one. Also, remove the handle. Oh. Wow. Look at that. You have a shot glass now. The thing we love about this list is that it includes whiskies like Fireball. Not that we like Fireball. But it does feel like a whiskey everyone should try at least once in their life.  Kind of like the rest of these.   If Brain Transplants Like The One In Poor Things Were Possible, This Is How They Might Work We’re more interested in how the set design worked, but go ahead. Let’s explore the reality of a brain transplant. In Poor Things, we’re not sure the juice was worth the squeeze. But in real life? Could it actually work?  They’re testing it on cadavers.   The Mixer The Mount Everest poop problem. How to make a Benton’s Old Fashioned, the cocktail with bacon. Why the number 37 is everywhere. Deconstructing the mythology of Steven Seagal. The startup that wants to build a plane🔺 the size of a football field and this new blended-wing jetliner that was just cleared for test flights. What language the first people in North America spoke.     /GTFO @mathiasdecoensel | Majorca     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
