It's Tuesday again! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

They are in the process of opening a Total Wine Store here and hopefully that will lower prices and increase selections for beer and whiskey around here. I have been to the Total Wine in Charleston and it is significantly better than anything here.   Like many other thing the alcoholic beverage laws in SC are some kind of fuct up.

Beer and wine prices are not bad depending on where you shop.  It's hard liquor in the red dots that's controlled by the State.

Hawaii may once again be at the nation’s forefront when it comes to setting smoking policy.

The first state to raise the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products to 21 is now considering a measure that would effectively forbid cigarettes in five years.

State Rep. Richard Creagan, a medical doctor, has sponsored legislation that aims to phase in a ban, raising the age requirement to 30 in 2020, 40 in 2021, 50 in 2022 and 100 in 2024. The bill, expected to be debated in committee this week, would exempt electronic cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco.

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 5, the 36th day of 2019. There are 329 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Feb. 5, 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed increasing the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices; the proposal, which failed in Congress, drew accusations that Roosevelt was attempting to "pack" the nation's highest court.
On this date:
In 1917, Mexico's present constitution was adopted by the Constitutional Convention in Santiago de Queretaro. The U.S. Congress passed, over President Woodrow Wilson's veto, an act severely curtailing Asian immigration.
In 1918, during World War I, the Cunard liner SS Tuscania, which was transporting about 2,000 American troops to Europe, was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Irish Sea with the loss of more than 200 people.
In 1958, Gamal Abdel Nasser was formally nominated to become the first president of the new United Arab Republic (a union of Egypt and Syria which lasted until 1961).
In 1971, Apollo 14 astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell stepped onto the surface of the moon in the first of two lunar excursions.
In 1983, former Nazi Gestapo official Klaus Barbie, expelled from Bolivia, was brought to Lyon (lee-OHN'), France, to stand trial. (He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison -- he died in 1991.)
In 1988, the Arizona House impeached Republican Gov. Evan Mecham (MEE'-kuhm), setting the stage for his trial in the state Senate, where he was convicted of obstructing justice and misusing state funds allegedly funneled to his Pontiac dealership.
In 1989, the Soviet Union announced that all but a small rear-guard contingent of its troops had left Afghanistan.
In 1999, Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson was sentenced in Rockville, Md., to a year in jail for assaulting two motorists following a traffic accident (he ended up serving 3 1/2 months).
In 2001, four disciples of Osama bin Laden went on trial in New York in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa. (The four were convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole.)
In 2002, A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., indicted John Walker Lindh on ten charges, alleging he was trained by Osama bin Laden's network and then conspired with the Taliban to kill Americans. (Lindh later pleaded guilty to lesser offenses and was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.)
In 2008, more than 80 tornadoes began touching down in the midwestern and southern U.S.; the deadliest of the twisters claimed 57 lives. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a guru to the Beatles who introduced the West to transcendental meditation, died at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop; he was believed to be about 90.

Ten years ago: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer. USA Swimming suspended Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps for three months after a photo showing him inhaling from a marijuana pipe became public.

Five years ago: A U.N. human rights committee denounced the Vatican for adopting policies that it said allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children over decades. CVS Caremark announced it would pull cigarettes and other tobacco products from its stores. The state of Texas executed Suzanne Basso for torturing and killing Louis "Buddy" Musso, a mentally impaired man she'd lured to suburban Houston with the promise of marriage.

One year ago: Stocks took their worst loss in six and a half years, with the Dow Jones industrial average plunging more than 1,100 points. Jerome Powell was sworn in as the 16th chairman of the Federal Reserve. Former sports doctor Larry Nassar received his third long prison sentence, 40 to 125 years, for molesting young athletes at an elite Michigan gymnastics club. President Donald Trump accused Democrats of being "un-American" and perhaps "treasonous" for not clapping during his State of the Union address a week earlier.

As it is for me now that we're in Georgetown.  Twin Liquors is nearest place.  Buy two and the price is OK for liquor.  Stuck with HEB for beer, though.

Only because there is a total wine already in your area and then it still costs more for both than most other states.  In TX my elixir grade wine runs around $6 and the cheapest price anywhere around here is $7.29.

Yeah, I really miss HEB for a lot of reasons.  I refused to buy from Twin because they were fuk’n everyone for years and years before Specks moved to town and waxed their asses forcing them to become competitive.  At that time the Twin crooks owned more stores than Specks did.  Twin  owns stores all over Austin and most of South Texas under many different names

@Tony - Are you intending to continue your CFest tradition with Charlie this year of: Intending to get tickets but striking out because you never actually signed up but hoping to get tickets from another source which never pans out but planning anyway to pick Charlie up with breakfast sandwiches and hitting the road by 9AM which turns into sandwiches for lunch by the time you depart at 1PM to hit the store events but by the time you get there you only have time for 2 small cigars because you have to get home but claim to have a great time anyway and vow to spend more time next year?
Hahaha. That's pretty accurate. But I honestly don't know what we're doing this year. I'll have to get back to you.

No.  It's not supposed to be icy up there today, and it's Interstate 90, so they plow and de-ice. It would have to be a pretty extreme storm up there for chains to be required, and this is a mild storm. 

I should say "was."  The reason it got so cold overnight is that the clouds went away late in the evening.  So everything is supposed to start melting today.

Pope Francis confirms priests' abuse of nuns included "sexual slavery”

Nuns have suffered and are still suffering sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests and bishops, and even being held as sexual slaves, Pope Francis confirmed on Tuesday. The abuse was so severe in one case that an entire congregation of nuns was dissolved by former Pope Benedict.
