British carmaker McLaren has come out with its fastest model yet—the 250 mph Speedtail. It can go from zero to 186 mph in 12.8 seconds. A hybrid powertrain sits within a lightweight carbon-fiber body whose design is reminiscent of sleek streamliners that once set world speed records, says CEO Mike Flewitt. Only 106 of the $2.24 million models will be produced and all have been reserved. mclaren.com

It started growing cigars in Cuba in 1865 and now harvests tobacco on more than 3,000 acres in Central America and produces more than 35 million handmade cigars each year. Usually, the cigars are made under contract for major brands, but the company now has the Plasencia 1865 distribution center in Miami to emphasize its own brands. They include Alma Fuerte, Alma del Campo, Reserva Original, Reserva 1898 and Cosecha 146. plasenciacigars.com[/vc_hoverbox][vc_hoverbox image=”28773″ primary_title=”” hover_title=”Stefano Ricci opens”]Florentine fashion house Stefano Ricci has arrived in South Florida with a 2,200-square-foot boutique at 120 NE 39th St. in the Miami Design District.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
