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!

I thought there might be a Tuesday jam but it doesn't appear so.  I'm having trouble getting to the joecigar site.

Well I was right about no jam.  Looks like the daily deal (2 fer) is Cuba Libre 'The Brute'.  Which also happens to be one of cigar.com's offerings for today.  ZZZZZzzzzzz.
