Happy Monday!  Any cigar deals on the various internet sites? Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either...  And welcome aboard!

Not much to speak of in terms of deals so far today. Not that we should be terribly surprised by this.

I happen to be a big fan of cheese so I can't say much about that.

Well let's see. I have ricotta(regular and salata), mozzarella(fresh, shredded, and cheese sticks), pecorino Romano (grated), truffle infused pecorino, a few other types of goat cheese, parmigiano(grated parmesan), 2 kinds of Laughing Cow, Swiss, colby jack, cheddar, monterey jack, port wine spreadable, gruyere, manchego, gouda (plain, smoked, and mushroom & chestnut), provolone, fontal, chevre...

Crap, I am sure there is stuff I have not listed. Like cream cheese, does that count? I just may have to purchase a separate fridge for my cheeses.

Moldy cheese happens from time to time. I wind up throwing stuff out and that pisses me off. But many are vacuum sealed and unopened. For example, while perusing the cheeses I noticed the ricotta salata had a best used date that was over two years old. I may wind up throwing that one out. It is still very white however and I will taste it before throwing it away. I think it will be fine. Generally speaking, we eat a lot of cheese and once something is opened it goes pretty quickly.

Maybe with this new one, you could make some actual cheddar.

Today is Monday, Jan. 4, the fourth day of 2021.
There are 361 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 4, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his “Great Society.”

On this date:
In 1821, the first native-born American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, died in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
In 1904, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Williams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the United States freely; however, the court stopped short of declaring them citizens. (Puerto Ricans received U.S. citizenship in March 1917.)
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped.

In 1944, Ralph Bunche became the first African-American officer at the State Department as he was appointed to a post in the Near East and African Section.
In 1964, Pope Paul VI began a visit to the Holy Land, the first papal pilgrimage of its kind
In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.

In 1987, 16 people were killed when an Amtrak train bound from Washington, D.C., to Boston collided with Conrail locomotives that had crossed into its path from a side track in Chase, Maryland.
In 1999, Europe’s new currency, the euro, got off to a strong start on its first trading day, rising against the dollar on world currency markets. Former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura took the oath of office as Minnesota’s governor.
In 2002, Sgt. 1st Class Nathan Ross Chapman, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, was killed by small-arms fire during an ambush in eastern Afghanistan; he was the first American military death from enemy fire in the war against terrorism.

In 2006, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a significant stroke; his official powers were transferred to his deputy, Ehud Olmert (EH’-hood OHL’-murt). (Sharon remained in a coma until his death in January 2014.)
In 2007, Nancy Pelosi was elected the first female speaker of the House as Democrats took control of Congress.
In 2010, Dubai opened the world’s tallest skyscraper, and in a surprise move renamed the 2,717-foot gleaming glass-and-metal tower Burj Khalifa in a nod to the leader of neighboring Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich sheikdom that had come to its financial rescue.

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama signed a $1.4 billion overhaul of the nation’s food safety system. The Navy fired the commander of the USS Enterprise, Capt. Owen Honors, more than three years after he’d made lewd videos to boost morale for his crew. (Honors was later reprimanded but allowed to remain in the Navy; he retired in 2012.) The Mega Millions lottery drew two winning tickets for a jackpot totaling $380 million. (In a strange coincidence, four of the six winning numbers matched those used by a lottery-winning character on the TV show “Lost.”)


Five years ago: Workers returned to their offices at the San Bernardino, California campus where 14 people were killed the previous month in a terror attack carried out by a county restaurant inspector and his wife. The Justice Department sued Volkswagen over emissions-cheating software found in nearly 600,000 vehicles sold in the United States.


One year ago: Thousands of militiamen and other supporters marched across Iraq’s capital in a funeral procession for Iran’s top general, Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike. President Donald Trump threatened to hit dozens of targets in Iran “very fast and very hard,” including sites “important to Iran & the Iranian culture,” if Iran retaliated for the killing. Australia’s prime minister said the death toll in the worst wildfire season in Australian history had climbed to 23, including a father and son who had been battling flames for two days.

I'm hoping for a very slow workweek since most of Europe is still on vacation.
The cheese eatin' bastiges!
I happen to be a big fan of cheese so I can't say much about that.
I could definitely go for some cheese right about now.
I've actually got a fridge filled with it. Guess we won't be vegans this year.
There's always next year!
But now I need more info about your cheese fridge.
I didn't mean to imply I had a fridge just dedicated to cheeses. But I bet you there are at least 15 varieties in there at the moment.
Disappointed me there in the first sentence, but brought me back in the second.
Well let's see. I have ricotta(regular and salata), mozzarella(fresh, shredded, and cheese sticks), pecorino Romano (grated), truffle infused pecorino, a few other types of goat cheese, parmigiano(grated parmesan), 2 kinds of Laughing Cow, Swiss, colby jack, cheddar, monterey jack, port wine spreadable, gruyere, manchego, gouda (plain, smoked, and mushroom & chestnut), provolone, fontal, chevre...

Crap, I am sure there is stuff I have not listed. Like cream cheese, does that count? I just may have to purchase a separate fridge for my cheeses.
Don't go for the stinky cheeses I see.
I actually do like them but the Mrs does not.

Good morning, ClemsonDave.

Oddly enough, one of these 5-packs is about a quarter inch longer than the other, and a bit skinnier. As far as I can tell, they don't have a size other than robusto or churchill, and certainly not for sale at the Page. Very strange. Mystery size, or fail of the quality control dept, who knows.

The very same. I only noticed because I set the 2 packs one on top of the other on my laptop and noticed one of them was wider. Closer examination showed one was longer as well. Strange, but the difference in both measurements had me thinking they had a size near robusto that I'd gotten one swapped out for. Just one of life's many curiosities.

Georgia runoffs tomorrow.  We will finally be done with political ads for a while.   
Please, 2024 is right around the corner. ;)
I thought voting was over in America.....2024 we just think our vote and they will be uploaded
That'll be much more convenient.
