It’s hard not to smile when you’re Matthew McConaughey, who has an Oscar, a new Bourbon and three films heading to theaters this year. In August’s Cigar Aficionado, we sit down with the actor for the second time to discuss his illustrious career, his new role as creative director for Wild Turkey, and his three upcoming films that span comedy, drama and action. Also, we look at the dawn of legal sports betting in America, the unlikely success of the NHL’s Las Vegas Knights and the new rules affecting the PGA Tour. Plus, Joya de Nicaragua marks its 50th birthday, America’s oldest cigar smoker (and oldest man) turns 112, and 79 cigars rated in six sizes: Churchill, corona gorda, double corona, figurado, panetela and robusto.
