...secret coating to prevent the aluminum from flavoring the contents. The Sigg Traveler certainly is light and trendy-looking, and comes in two sizes and a variety colors, including classic, simple steel.

Also, metal water bottles can be used for warm beverages, but not boiling hot, and they sweat when filled with cold liquids - but Sigg, ever the savvy marketer, offers solutions: a hip Sigg carrying pouch and even a new hot-beverage Sigg.

Helmand province is mostly desert, but it produces half the world's opium supply along a narrow strip of irrigated land that straddles the Helmand River. The drug trade - Afghanistan provides more than 90% of the world's opium - permeates everything. A former governor, Sher Mohammed Akhundzada, was caught with nine tons of opium, enough to force him out of office, but not enough...
