Today is Wednesday, Dec. 20, the 354th day of 2023.
There are 11 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Dec. 20, 1803, the Louisiana Purchase was completed as ownership of the territory was formally transferred from France to the United States.


On this date:

In 1860, South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union as all 169 delegates to a special convention in Charleston voted in favor of separation.

In 1864, Confederate forces evacuated Savannah, Georgia, as Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman nearly completed his “March to the Sea.”

In 1945, the Office of Price Administration announced the end of wartime tire rationing, effective Jan. 1, 1946.

In 1963, the Berlin Wall was opened for the first time to West Berliners, who were allowed one-day visits to relatives in the Eastern sector for the holidays.

In 1987, more than 4,300 people were killed when the Dońa Paz (DOHN’-yuh pahz), a Philippine passenger ship, collided with the tanker Vector off Mindoro island.

In 1989, the United States launched Operation Just Cause, sending troops into Panama to topple the government of Gen. Manuel Noriega.

In 1995, an American Airlines Boeing 757 en route to Cali, Colombia, slammed into a mountain, killing all but four of the 163 people aboard.

In 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled that gay couples were entitled to the same benefits and protections as wedded heterosexual couples.

In 2001, the U.N. Security Council authorized a multinational force for Afghanistan.

In 2002, Trent Lott resigned as Senate Republican leader two weeks after igniting a political firestorm with racially charged remarks.

In 2005, a federal judge ruled that “intelligent design” could not be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, delivering a stinging attack on the Dover Area School Board.

In 2016, President Barack Obama designated the bulk of U.S.-owned waters in the Arctic Ocean and certain areas in the Atlantic Ocean as indefinitely off limits to future oil and gas leasing.

In 2017, Cardinal Bernard Law, the disgraced former archbishop of Boston, died in Rome at the age of 86; his failure to stop child molesters in the priesthood had triggered a crisis in American Catholicism.

As per usual, I don't really agree too much with this list. I can get behind #5, #7, #9, and #10. And even #9... Is there anything new about it?

I don't really follow as closely as I should so I'm not sure any of these are new for 2023.

A fair point. Because you would think a lot of smokes would recur year after year if they're so great. Definitely seems like there's a certain amount of randomness to the rankings, depending on what may or may not be smoked.

If there's a particular stick by them you really like, best to buy it tonight. If it ends up the #1 cigar, the price will suddenly be double.

I preferred the corona sized Class 34s to the robustos. Burned and tasted better, imfo. The robustos burned too quickly, probably because they weren't very full of tobacco.

The nude Nubs taste just like the regular thing, only without the band. Very good.

I feel like I've had it but I can't recall. Went back through photos and cigarbanter posts and couldn't find anything there either.
