Cigar.com:

Door #1 - La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon No. 2 (Double Perfecto) (5.0"x54) -10 / $49.99

Door #2 - Lars Tetens Steam Punk Robusto (5.0"x50) - 5 / $24.99

Door #3 - Partagas Black Label Bravo (Rothschild) (4.5"x54) - 10 / $49.99
Not quite the usual fluff piece we see, for the Lars Tetens:

"When it comes to Lars Tetens Steam Punk, however, we must admit we were not exactly flabbergasted by its unique flavor and solid construction. "
It says flavored too? Anyone want to give them a try and let us know?
I was originally checking them out because I'd never heard of them and wanted to see what they said. Based on their description, that's gonna be a no from me.
Alec Bradley bought the rights. Don't know anything other than all details are not disclosed of their cigars. Dave had one and didn't like it if I remember.
I tried two different ones a while back, don't even remember their names....one was bad the other OK.
Sounds like they should have hired you to write the blurb on this one. Morning, OutOfTheTop25Dave.

I always thought the guys that write this stuff were a bit over the top until I started reading copy at Cigar Federation.  Those are so sickening sweet, they can put you in diabetic shock.

Today is Thursday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2021.
There are 85 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:


On Oct. 7, 2001, the war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the September 11 attacks.

On this date:

In 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York to draw up colonial grievances against England.

In 1849, author Edgar Allan Poe died in Baltimore at age 40.

In 1910, a major wildfire devastated the northern Minnesota towns of Spooner and Baudette, charring at least 300,000 acres; some 40 people are believed to have died.

In 1949, the Republic of East Germany was formed.

In 1954, Marian Anderson became the first Black singer hired by the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York.

In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist in a wheelchair, and pushed him overboard, before surrendering on Oct. 9.)



In 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations.

In 1992, trade representatives of the United States, Canada and Mexico initialed the North American Free Trade Agreement during a ceremony in San Antonio, Texas, in the presence of President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

In 1996, Fox News Channel made its debut.

In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student, was beaten and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie, Wyoming; he died five days later. (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney are serving life sentences for Shepard’s murder.)

In 2003, California voters recalled Gov. Gray Davis and elected Arnold Schwarzenegger their new governor.

In 2004, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney conceded that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction as they tried to shift the Iraq war debate to a new issue, arguing that Saddam was abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.

Ten years ago: The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to three women: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Karman, who began pushing for change in Yemen long before the Arab Spring.

Five years ago: The U.S. accused Russia of hacking American political sites and email accounts in an effort to interfere with the upcoming presidential election and also directly accused Russia of war crimes in Syria; Moscow dismissed the allegations. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was named winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, receiving a big boost in his efforts to save an agreement seeking to end his country’s half-century conflict.

One year ago: President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office for the first time since he was diagnosed with COVID-19; he credited an experimental drug treatment with helping his recovery. Debating from behind plexiglass shields, Vice President Mike Pence and Democrat Kamala Harris zeroed in on Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with Harris labeling it “the greatest failure of any presidential administration” while Pence defended the overall response. President Donald Trump tweeted that remaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan should be home by Christmas. (Military officials said they had been given no orders to accelerate a more gradual pullout.) The former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd posted bail and was released from state prison, leading Minnesota’s governor to activate the National Guard to help keep the peace in the event of protests.

Golf tomorrow. I need to find out why I cannot hit my hybrids well. Hopefully trip to range later today.
Remember, they're designed to be struck like irons, not woods. That's the biggest fault, people trying to sweep the ball with them like a fairway wood, instead of hitting down like an iron.
That's what I was watching on YouTube. So truth is I think I am trying to sweep to like a wood. I also need to look at my stance.

Only 11.  Other than 10cc and Mellencamp, I'm not much a fan of the musical acts.  Toni Braxton has one hell of a voice, though.

good morning Tony, Rick, and Dave.

breakfast while I wait for the home health aide.
Good morning, Dean. How are you feeling today?
did I tell you this yesterday?
doc called complained about lack of bleeding and poor circulation. of course there's no circulation, I haven't flexed my ankle or moved around any since August. he mentioned I may need a 3rd surgery. home health aide coming in this morning, physical therapist in the afternoon. 😖
other than that - it's out of my hands.
Just do your physical therapy.  I wasn't faithful at the end of the therapy for my leg, and I've paid a price for it.  I was bloody dilligent with my hand.  Morning, Deano.
