Ebony Lodge at the Singita Game Reserve: The Armchair Safari {Luxist}
Aug 20th 2010 2:36PM Having stayed at Singita (Castleton Camp) I can attest that not only is everything top notch, but the experience is priceless. We literally saw every single animal we hoped to see, as if they had arranged it in advance. If I were to return to anywhere in the world that I have already been, Singita would be my first choice.
Wired named the iPad... in 1999 {TUAW.com}
Jul 16th 2010 12:38PM Just guessing, but with the Thinkpad notebook already existing at this point, perhaps it was a speculative or prerelease name for the iBook.
Unsmoked Churchill Cigar Fetches Thousands {Luxist}
Jun 9th 2010 11:25AM I stand corrected. Camacho was indeed once a Cuban brand that was apparently discontinued at some point after the embargo. Camacho left Cuba in 1961 to begin the current incarnation of the company, but like many brands whose owners left after Castro took over, the Cuban version continued, at least for a little while. Very little information is readily available on the Cuban Camacho, but please accept my apology for incorrectly calling you out.
Unsmoked Churchill Cigar Fetches Thousands {Luxist}
Jun 8th 2010 8:00AM One of the facts is wrong here, and my bet is that it's the picture. While Camacho was founded in the 1960s (so the 1963 date may be possible), they never produced cigars in Cuba (and that looks like a post 2004 band in the pic). I have enough faith in Christie's to believe they did their homework, so ihave to assume that either the picture is wrong (and the cigar was not a Camacho) or the description here is wrong and the cigar was not Cuban.

Newcastle Brown Ale's New DraughtKeg {Luxist}
Jul 8th 2009 11:29AM Yes, but this is about the equivalent of a 12 pack, which cost about $16. Drop the price, and I'm in, but at these prices, I'll stick to the bottles (which are easier to store anyway).
