A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar
is a Smoke” were the words of Nobel Prize
winner and bachelor Rudyard Kipling in 1886 in
his poem ‘The Betrothed,’ which answered his
fiancée Maggie’s ultimatum: “You must choose
between me and your cigar.” The Bombay-born English poet,
known for writing tales of British soldiers in India, responded in
the famous poem, “For Maggie has written a letter to give me my
choice between the wee little whimpering Love and the great
god Nick o’ Teen.” Need I say which prevailed?
By Melissa Bryant
By Rachel KessleR
In that same era, Rudyard
Kipling wasn’t alone is his
passion for tightly rolled bundles of fermented dried tobacco. Kaizad Hansotia – perhaps
today’s modern-day Kipling –
explains why, “Some 300 years
ago, in God-forsaken mosquito
hell-holes like Madras, India,
brave Nepalese soldiers known
as Gurkhas fought feverishly
for their British Queen. In those
days, long before television or

fearless soldiers happy and entertained and to prevent them from rioting in between military
conflicts, they were supplied with plenty of tobacco and rum.
Colonial soldiers began to make their own cigars from the local
tobacco. Because of the British fondness for the legendary
Nepalese fighters, soldiers
named these cigars Gurkhas.”
The Man Behind
Today’s Brigade
of Gurkhas –
The World’s Finest Cigars
Sprinkled along Croatia’s southern coast lay the glimmering islands of the Dalmatian coast, where terracottaroofed buildings nestled atop limestone-cliff mountains overlook the Adriatic Sea. Cruising along these crystal
waters in the 1960s, two young brothers became captivated with sailing. Together, the boys — Alessandro and
Norberto Ferretti — turned a childhood pastime into a business. The Ferretti name today stands for one of the
most respected brands in the yachting industry. Their innovations in technology and artistry excellence sets them
apart in a class alltheir own.

Any talented mixologist will tell you that the secret to
making the perfect cocktail is an ideal combination
of inspiration, perseverance, and focus. Philanthropist and founder of the wildly successful Celebrity
Martini Glass Auction (CMGA), Brenda Melton,
has shaken and stirred her ingredients to hone
a heady concoction that delivers quite a punch.
In February, her fund-raising event raised more than
$500,000 in support of veterans’ organizations PAWS
Assistance Dogs and the Collier County Honor Flight.

efore these seafaring brothers became pillars in the yachting world, they worked in another luxury industry — cars. Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti’s father owned a specialty car
dealership where both brothers worked as car salesmen. Norberto, especially impressed by
his youth at sea, persuaded his father to purchase a 5.7 meter boat for him, which became
a catalyst for the incorporation of Ferretti Yachts in 1968. The brothers added a nautical
division to their family dealership, with Norberto overseeing design and Alessandro handling business
activities. In 1971, the Ferretti brothers unveiled at the prestigious Genoa Boat Show the first full-scale
boat they constructed: a wooden motor-sailor equipped with boat sails and an engine. There, they met
iconic Italian yacht-builder Luciano Mochi. “It was Luciano Mochi, my second idol after Carlo Riva, who
pushed me to move from sail to motor. He was tall and had a powerful way of walking. I was 23 when at
the Genoa show,” Norberto told Gale Publishing. “Mochi told me, ‘My compliments, you make beautiful
Gurkhas are the cigar of choice for royalty, presidents, heads
of state, sheiks, celebrities – and America’s finest elite special
forces, including the Navy’s SEAL Team Six.
things, but you have the advantage that with sail it is easier.’” Mochi was referring to the yachting industry’s recent adoption of motor engines. Following this advice, the Ferretti’s ushered in their first
motor yacht designs for sports fishing during the early 1970s. Over
time, fervent research and development with a particular attention
to detail elevated Ferretti Yachts above its competitors.

The Ferretti’s passion for yachting is apparent not only in their roots,
but also in their dedication to providing the best yachting experience possible.

DISCOVER
Let’s address the obvious first. The words
“body painting” don’t immediately conjure
images of gala art shows and gallery openings. Chances are your first thoughts were
of a child’s birthday party, or a carnival, or
maybe Mardi Gras. The stunning work of
fine art body painter Craig Tracy will change
that first impression forever. He is the most
famous fine art body painter in the world;
and is the artist/owner of “The Craig Tracy
Gallery” in New Orleans, the first fine art
gallery devoted to body painting.
IMPECCABLE POISE
SCULPTED BY SPEED
Tanzanite, aquamarine, emerald, ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, garnet, and quartz—all relatively
familiar gemstone names. But, rarely are they seen in their pure natural form exactly as they came
out of the earth except in major museums, such as the Smithsonian or Dallas’s Perot Museum,
both of which have many of his specimens on loan or exhibit.
Designed to face the demands of the real world, the V8 Vantage

Dr. Lavinsky’s personality is vibrant,

natural brilliance. As a child, he was a booksmart “science nerd.” He still is. But he’s

SLEEPING
UNDER THE
THE DIMENSION
OF PRECONCEPTION
COMPILED BY ROBIN JAY
The story of Aston Martin’s rise from a two-man operation working from a small London workshop to a globally respected
marque has been long, colorful and often dramatic. A rich and prestigious heritage defines Aston Martin as something
truly unique within automotive history.
SEA
Look closely. Tracy’s work consists of a
painted human body juxtaposed against
a painted canvas or other surface. The
image becomes a whole and is then photographed and put on canvas. “It’s insane,”
remarks Tracy. “I’m never working on a
flat surface. I’m painting a three-dimensional
image on a three-dimensional surface.
I always must keep in mind what the viewer
is going to see…what the final result is
going to be. Doing that on a curved human
body is often ludicrous.”
COMPILED BY ROBIN JAY
Standing before Tracy’s work is a transformative experience. His deft hand removes any
stigma of appreciation for the curves and
angles – the architecture – of the body. One’s
eyes can unabashedly sweep across the human form. And that’s the point. This is not a
recital. “You can be overwhelmed by the
three-dimensional human body in front of
you with paint on it,” says Tracy. “Your brain is
saying: ‘show me-show, show me…’ but that
impulse has no relevance to my work.”
Tracy’s artwork allows the brain to relax and
concentrate solely on the final piece as a
fully integrated image with something to
say. “That’s all that matters,” he says.
INTENTION OVER TRICKS
The title of the painting Craig is
shown working on here is, quite
appropriately, "Purr."
This 350-million-year-old fossil Ammonite shell from Calgary
has been partially replaced by precious opal. It is valued at
$300,000 for its pristine condition and aesthetics.

But how does he do it? Using a mélange of
techniques – airbrushing [not as much as
you might expect], brush painting and
finger painting – to achieve a desired effect,
Tracy firmly declares it is not as much about
the “tools” as it is the intention. “Eighty percent of my work is about the camera’s view,”
says Tracy. “It doesn’t matter if the subject
matter is three-dimensional on a threedimensional surface; it’s all about the
