50 Years Of The “Jaws Effect.” 🦈 🌊

Tayla Brunger, Magnum P.I., 8 bit Nintendo, cigars and more.

50 Years Of The “Jaws Effect.”

Jaws may have scared millions out of the ocean, but it dragged one family into it—hook, line, and conservation mission. Instead of riding the wave of shark hysteria, Peter Benchley and his wife Wendy flipped the script, becoming ocean advocates after unleashing cinema’s most misunderstood fish. Fifty years later, it turns out the real villain wasn’t the shark... it was bad PR.

Is It OK To Relight A Cigar? Yes — Here’s How To Bring It Back To Life.

You’re mid-victory puff on your fine cigar when—bam!—real life interrupts, and your high-dollar smoke turns into a lifeless log. But don’t toss it like yesterday’s news—relighting isn’t a cigar sin, it’s just good sense (and good economics). Forget those crusty old rules; even top-shelf Cubans take a nap now and then.

Magnum P.I. Should Be Your Summer Style Inspiration.

When your grandma won’t stop talking about Tom Selleck in a Speedo, curiosity—and nostalgia—are bound to strike.

It’s a masterclass in manly charm, one hairy chest and iconic mustache at a time.
