Hopefully the Easter Bunny will bring some cigar deals. Share what you know in this forum 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!

Today is Easter Sunday, April 16, the 106th day of 2017. There are 259 days left in the year.
Today's Highlights in History:
On April 16, 1947, the cargo ship Grandcamp, carrying a load of ammonium nitrate, blew up in the harbor in Texas City, Texas; a nearby ship, the High Flyer, which was carrying ammonium nitrate and sulfur, caught fire as a result and exploded the following day; the blasts and fires killed nearly 600 people. In a speech at the South Carolina statehouse in Columbia, financier Bernard M. Baruch said: "Let us not be deceived - we are today in the midst of a cold war."
On this date:
In 1789, President-elect George Washington left Mount Vernon, Virginia, for his inauguration in New York.
In 1867, aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright was born in Millville, Indiana (his brother Orville was born five years later in Dayton, Ohio).
In 1912, American aviator Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel, leaving Dover, England, and arriving near Calais, France, in 59 minutes.
In 1917, following the abdication of Czar Nicholas II, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin returned to Russia after years of exile.
In 1937, the Laurel & Hardy slapstick comedy "Way Out West" was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
In 1940, Major League Baseball's first (and, to date, only) opening day no-hitter took place as Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians pitched a no-no against the Chicago White Sox, 1-0, at Comiskey Park.
In 1945, during World War II, a Soviet submarine in the Baltic Sea torpedoed and sank the MV Goya, which Germany was using to transport civilian refugees and wounded soldiers; it's estimated that up to 7,000 people died. In his first speech to Congress, President Harry S. Truman pledged to carry out the war and peace policies of his late predecessor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" in which he said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon with astronauts John W. Young, Charles M. Duke Jr. and Ken Mattingly on board.
In 1986, dispelling rumors he was dead, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi appeared on television to condemn the U.S. raid on his country and to say that Libyans were "ready to die" defending their nation.
In 1996, Britain's Prince Andrew and his wife, Sarah, the Duchess of York, announced they were in the process of divorcing.
In 2014, 304 people, mostly students, died when a South Korean ferry, the Sewol, sank while en route from Incheon to the resort island of Jeju; 172 people survived.

Ten years ago: In one of America's worst school attacks, college senior Seung-Hui Cho (sung-wee joh) killed 32 people on the campus of Virginia Tech before taking his own life. Robert Cheruiyot (CHEHR'-ee-aht) of Kenya won the Boston Marathon for the third time in 2:14:13; Russia's Lidiya Grigoryeva (grih-gohr-YEV'-uh) captured the women's race in 2:29:18. Carrie Underwood's dark hit "Before He Cheats" won video of the year, female video and best video director at the fan-voted CMT Music Awards.
Five years ago: A trial began in Oslo, Norway, for Anders Breivik (AHN'-durs BRAY'-vihk), charged with killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in July 2011. (Breivik was found guilty of terrorism and premeditated murder and given a 21-year prison sentence.) The Associated Press won a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting for documenting the New York Police Department's widespread spying on Muslims, while the Philadelphia Inquirer was honored in the public service category for its examination of violence in the city's schools; for the first time in 35 years, no Pulitzer for fiction was given.
One year ago: In an extraordinary gesture, Pope Francis brought 12 Syrian Muslims to Italy aboard his plane after an emotional visit to the Greek island of Lesbos, which was facing the brunt of Europe's migration crisis. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake on Ecuador's central coast near the town of Muisne (MWIHZ'-nee) killed more than 660 people.

They are brand new. I had them at a recent event for the new 505 Romeo. Both great cigars. I spring for a box of the Gispert, very pleased.

LOL, you ever tried to get one set-up? I did it back around Christmas, supposed to be "one of the simplest to set up". Yeah, only took about an hour.

They absolutely do. Which is why I was up at 3:am hiding eggs around the house.
They had a blast, so it was worth it.

Tough cookies used to be after a early completion of a fast moving Jam full of interesting cigars.
They haven't moved that much volume in a long time.

Just got back from chauffeuring the parents down to my brother's for Easter dinner. Brought down a couple of growlers from River Horse brewery (about a mile away). Milk stout and a Motueka IPA (citrusy New Zealand Hops). Good for a day in the upper 80's.

Dumbest statement of the day: "...because we don't know what is going to anger people and make them resort to gunfire."
The same damned things that have been making people kill each other since we lived in trees, genius. Fear, anger, resentment, hate, jealousy, ego, territory, greed, insanity, lust, and sheer meanness.
The good news is we've managed to reduce the percentage of the population that gives into the basest impulse. But there are always going to be some that do.

Just threw an eyeball at joes daily deal. Do my eyes deceive me? Have they ditched the banter altogether?
