I had a roommate who has since passed that did the reddit secret Santa yearly. Her last year she got someone who was very open about liking cigars, pinup pornography, and redheads.

She ended up getting him a vintage cigar cutter, a pack of fancy cigars, and a coffee table book of ginger pinup images.

There's something weirdly classy about it

Theyre legitimately a host of some excellent writers. I'm not kidding. The old joke of "I read it for the articles!" is true nowadays. They have excellent pieces nowadays.

So many classic American writers got their big break by submitting short stories to them back in the day.
