In this issue

Adrien Brody has a reputation as being one of Hollywood's premier transformation artists. However, it wasn't until he won an Oscar for his memorable role in Roman Polanski's The Pianist that the actor with the well-known nose became a household name, and a sought-after leading man.

In the October issue of Cigar Aficionado, Brody talks about the things he has done to immerse himself into his characters, growing up as a rambunctious kid on the streets of Queens, New York, and how he likes to spend his downtime between movies.

Also, read about the winning style of South African golfers, the popularity of offshore bookies, our annual football season preview, and we present the year's top ten best watches.

In cigar culture, we talk with the Padróns about the political disruption and assassination attempts that threatened the company in its early days, and "the Most Interesting Man in the World" spins stories for us.

That -- and much more -- is in the October issue of Cigar Aficionado
