Ron DeSantis became the youngest governor of Florida in a century when he was sworn in as the state’s 46th governor in 2019. In 2024, DeSantis briefly ran for president (and may again). He is still governor of a state that is crucial to the cigar industry, though, for the time being. Cigar Aficionado spoke with Governor Ron DeSantis about his passion for cigars, Cuba’s future, and American problems in an exclusive cover story. This issue also discusses ultra-aggressive professional blackjack players, the charm of margaritas, and amazing golf experiences. In addition, we discuss cigars with Marlon Wayans, review the Els For Autism golf event, tour a house in Florida with two opulent cigar rooms, and much more.

The contents of the Ettinger Sterling Hunter Flask can be divided into four distinct sterling silver cups.
