Review: Garden and Gun (Cardinham | Killigrew Lifestyle?)

On a recent long-weekend vacation I took, I was laid over in south Florida for a day or so and saw this gem looking back at me from the news stand.  It seemed to call my name and say "Steven, we were meant to spend some time together."  After getting over the fact that I was having an imaginary conversation with a magazine I purchased the item in question.

The magazine ended up in my beach duffel and while sipping some 10 Cane rum in the tropical sun one day I pulled her out.  Doing a brief flip through to see whats doing I soon realized this was quite possibly the finest magazine I'd ever read!  This was a magazine for me.  I tend to aim for the finer things in life, going without to later have the best, enjoying baths (don't say a word), drinking fine wines and cocktails, and generally living life to the fullest.

So I flipped through, an add for shotguns, an article on moonshine, style, fashion, guns, alcohol!  Every page seemed to be written just for me.  There are even recipes for both wild game meats and southern cocktails.  I read every article and every ad!  I think this may in fact be the perfect magazine.....at least for me.

The Cardinham | Killigrew Multi-Leg Luxury Weekend

(South Florida and Saint Barths)

My time for a mid-winter interlude!  Sometimes, you just need to get away from it all and when flying back home into a recent snowstorm, landing on an icy runway, and going from high 70’s to 5 degrees, you start to appreciate the walk on the beach you had earlier that morning.  This is a guide for a true-cardinham styled multi-leg, over-the-top getaway over just a long weekend. Good to have friends in high places who can hook you up. Hope you enjoy.  Before you leave be sure to take a bath with the new Cardinham | Killigrew Vive la France! Bath Bomb to get in the island mood.




Fly to southwest coast Florida, Naples-to-Sarasota. Turquoise water, quiet, and abundance of stone crabs (mid-winter), white sand beaches, and mid-70’s temperatures.  Grab an evening sunset sail on the Black Duck out of Venice for a romantic, dolphin followed cruise on a double-masted sailboat once owned by Donald Sutherland.  This was simply amazing!
and eat Hedonist Chocolates.  Grab some stone crab claws at Captain Eddies to drink with sauvignon blanc later that night.  When you get done your cruise hit Bonefish for dinner - suck down some bang bang shrimp and fresh grouper.

Check social flights and jetsuite for empty legs private flight; you save a fortune and live the dream.  Fly to St. Barths or wherever they have empty legs flights on a private plane (just make sure you can get back).  In this case we'll do St. Barths. Stay at Eden Rock or Christopher Hotel.
Enjoy a Buffalo Mozzarella Sandwich at Indigo. Have dinner at “On the Rocks” (– try the Lobster with Citrus Glazed Carrots) - Cocktails and jet setting at Nikki Beach Club.  Laugh at the posts of those trapped in ice and snow in the northeast (forget the fact that you’ll be in their shoes in a day.) Lay on the beach in a day bed with more Champagne and read the latest edition of Garden and Gun. Fly back to the icy northeast after a little layover in south Florida liberally apply the Cardinham | Killigrew White Tea and Ginger Aloe Body Lotion.
