Weekend Spotlight on Flathead.

CAO Flathead Boxes
Extra $60 OFF + FREE Shipping!
CAO Flathead is one of the most popular cigars in America, so I’ll get straight to the point here. This weekend, all boxes are an EXTRA $60 OFF. That puts sparkplugs in your hand for as little as $111.99/box. And get this – shipping is FREE, too! I’m gonna catch some serious heat for this one…

You still here? The 95-rated Flathead is the highest rated CAO blend EVER. Hell, the V660 Carb size is the highest rated 60-ring cigar ever. As low as $4.48/cigar and shipped for free. It may be my finest Flathead deal ever.

Heavy in the hand, Flathead starts with a well-fermented Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that’s wound around delicious box-pressed shapes. A bevy of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers is embraced by a Connecticut Habano-seed binder. Hefty, seamless, and glistening with oils, this hammer pounds home a mix of spicy-sweet goodness, with hints of earth, black pepper, and cocoa throughout a slow-burning full-bodied experience.

Your buddies are already doing burnouts in the parking lot. Come grab CAO Flathead boxes at an extra $60 OFF normal price + FREE Shipping! This one is calling your name, don’t miss out.

One of the places we like to get dinner from has it, she usually gets it as her meal when we go there. Never made it myself, but I'm confident it will be delightful.

Today is Saturday, Feb. 10, the 41st day of 2024.
There are 325 days left in the year.



Today's highlight

On Feb. 10, 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov lost the first game of a match in Philadelphia against an IBM computer dubbed "Deep Blue." (Kasparov ended up winning the match, 4 games to 2; he was defeated by Deep Blue in a rematch the following year.)


On this date

In 1763, Britain, Spain and France signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War in North America).

In 1840, Britain's Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

In 1936, Nazi Germany's Reichstag passed a law investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority, exempt from any legal review.

In 1959, a major tornado tore through the St. Louis area, killing 21 people and causing heavy damage.

In 1962, the Soviet Union exchanged captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy held by the United States.

In 1967, the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with presidential disability and succession, was ratified as Minnesota and Nevada adopted it.

In 1981, eight people were killed when a fire set by a busboy broke out at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino.

In 1989, Ron Brown was elected the first Black chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

In 1992, boxer Mike Tyson was convicted in Indianapolis of raping Desiree Washington, a Miss Black America contestant. (Tyson served three years in prison.)

In 2005, North Korea boasted publicly for the first time that it possessed nuclear weapons.

In 2013, at the Grammy Awards, Fun. won song of the year for "We Are Young"; Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know" picked up record of the year.

In 2015, NBC announced it was suspending Brian Williams as "Nightly News" anchor and managing editor for six months without pay for misleading the public about his experiences covering the Iraq War.

In 2020, U.S. health officials confirmed the first case of the novel coronavirus among the hundreds of people who'd been evacuated from China to military bases in the United States; it was among the 13 confirmed cases in the U.S. Britain declared the new coronavirus a "serious and imminent threat to public health" and said people with the virus could now be forcibly quarantined.

In 2021, Larry Flynt, who turned his raunchy Hustler magazine into an empire while fighting numerous First Amendment court battles, died at age 78 in Los Angeles.

Not from there, but she's had one from Dibella's before. Probably similar.

Here's an interesting fact - in the last 30 years of Super Bowls, there have been 7 instances with 1 team traveling east to the site and 1 traveling west. In each of those 7, the team traveling west has won. Good news for Taylor Swift's boyfriend.
