CI Weekend spotlight to the rescue!

Alec Bradley Black Market Illicit Boxes
Up to an EXTRA $69 OFF! + UPGRADE!
When I’m not busy running down the “honey do” list, I like to spend my weekends doing something illicit. This weekend we’re shining our blinding spotlight on Alec Bradley Black Market Illicit boxes, which are up to an EXTRA $69 OFF! Plus, we’ll even throw in a pack of 5 of the limited-release Alec Bradley Bespoke Toro (6”x52) for just $5 more and send it your way with FREE SHIPPING!

Alec Bradley Black Market Illicit has been laying low for a few years, but now it’s ready to hit the big time. This blend is so terrific, you’ll be asking yourself if it’s even legal! It is, and it starts with some premium long-fillers from Nicaragua. Doubling down with a dual binder, Honduran and Nicaraguan leaves collide to bolster the body of this beast. The Rubins then chose to cap off this Honduran handmade with a rich chocolate-hued Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper. If you loved the OG Black Market blend, then this one ups the ante with its fortified profile and expert blending from the mind of Alan Rubin!

The Alec Bradley Bespoke is a rare blend that is released only once per year for close friends and family of the Rubin family. Landing this upgrade for a measly $5 more is a steal! Score a box of these flavor bombs with an upgrade and pay as little as $3.75 per cigar and get FREE SHIPPING on your order!

Today is Saturday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2024.
There are 311 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Feb. 24, 1942, the SS Struma, a charter ship attempting to carry nearly 800 Jewish refugees from Romania to British-mandated Palestine, was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine in the Black Sea; all but one of the refugees perished.


On this date:

In 1803, in its Marbury v. Madison decision, the Supreme Court established judicial review of the constitutionality of statutes.

In 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson by a vote of 126-47 following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

In 1981, a jury in White Plains, New York, found Jean Harris guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of “Scarsdale Diet” author Dr. Herman Tarnower. (Sentenced to 15 years to life in prison, Harris was granted clemency by New York Gov. Mario Cuomo in December 1992.)

In 1986, the Supreme Court struck down, 6-3, an Indianapolis ordinance that would have allowed women injured by someone who had seen or read pornographic material to sue the maker or seller of that material.

In 1988, in a ruling that expanded legal protections for parody and satire, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a $150,000 award that the Rev. Jerry Falwell had won against Hustler magazine and its publisher, Larry Flynt.

In 1989, a state funeral was held in Japan for Emperor Hirohito, who had died the month before at age 87.

In 1993, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney resigned after more than eight years in office.

In 2002, the Salt Lake City Olympics came to a close, the same day Canada won its first hockey gold in 50 years and three cross-country skiers were thrown out of the games for using a performance-enhancing drug.

In 2008, Cuba’s parliament named Raul Castro president, ending nearly 50 years of rule by his brother Fidel.

In 2011, Discovery, the world’s most traveled spaceship, thundered into orbit for the final time, heading toward the International Space Station on a journey marking the beginning of the end of the shuttle era.

In 2012, Jan Berenstain who with her husband, Stan, wrote and illustrated the Berenstain Bears books, died in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania at age 88.

In 2015, the Justice Department announced that George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in a 2012 confrontation, would not face federal charges.

In 2020, former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein was convicted in New York on charges of rape and sexual assault involving two women. (Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison.)

In 2022, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launching airstrikes on cities and military bases and sending troops and tanks from multiple directions.

Mine is a different color but same concept. I never use it because it's so big. Great for a man cave but doesn't fit so easily in your pocket.

Probably not. I haven't mentioned it because it's not in a good place for him to get to. It's south, and he's far east of me. If it was at a spot nearer, it would be easier for him to get to.
