Morning Slackers!

good morning Banter Land. just getting home. Got an AF Cuban Corona maduro burning with a cheap Cuban dark roast coffee. My truck is loaded with plants, end tables for the bed, new toilet seats, a few various length extension cords. All house warming gifts from friends.
Business meetings went well until they wanted to raise our stipend allowance from $35 to $50. I was the only one opposed and by the time they let the 'minority opinion' heard, I had swayed half of the voting members.

Good morning Dave.

55* here and getting into the high 70's.

Early Morning Daily Deals are mostly disgusting, Oliva G boxes at 40% off at the FU is about the best out there. Perpetual Scorchers are still running where a few good things pass by quickly.

You should work from a short list like Tony does.

Today is Monday, March 6, the 65th day of 2017. There are 300 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 6, 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, ruled 7-2 that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court.
On this date:
In 1834, the city of York in Upper Canada was incorporated as Toronto.
In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege.
In 1853, Verdi's opera "La Traviata" premiered in Venice, Italy.
In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on Roosevelt's life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59.
In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.
In 1953, Georgy Malenkov was named premier of the Soviet Union a day after the death of Josef Stalin.
In 1957, the British Gold Coast and British Togoland became the independent state of Ghana.
In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva (ah-lee-loo-YAY'-vah), appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West. Singer-actor Nelson Eddy, 65, died in Palm Beach, Florida.
In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members.
In 1981, Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time as principal anchorman of "The CBS Evening News."
In 1987, 193 people died when the British ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized off the Belgian port of Zeebrugge (zay-BRUKH'-ah). The first "Lethal Weapon" movie, starring Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, was released by Warner Bros.
In 1997, a gunman stole a million-dollar Picasso portrait ("Tete de Femme") from a London gallery. (The painting was recovered and two suspects arrested a week later.) Britain's Queen Elizabeth II launched the first official royal website.
-
Ten years ago: Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. (President George W. Bush later commuted Libby's 30-month prison sentence, but did not issue a pardon.) Some 70 people died in an earthquake on Sumatra island, Indonesia. Ernest Gallo, who built one of the world's largest winemaking empires, died in Modesto, California, at age 97.
Five years ago: In Super Tuesday contests, Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won in pivotal Ohio, seized a home-state victory in Massachusetts, triumphed in Idaho, Vermont and Alaska, and won easily in Virginia, where neither Rick Santorum nor Newt Gingrich was on the ballot; Santorum won contests in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota, while Gingrich won at home in Georgia. Former Texas tycoon R. Allen Stanford was convicted in Houston of bilking his investors out of more than $7 billion through a Ponzi scheme. (Stanford was sentenced to 110 years in prison.) Songwriter Robert B. Sherman, 86, who collaborated with his brother Richard on such movie musicals as "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," died in London.
One year ago: Former first lady Nancy Reagan died in Los Angeles at age 94. Former President Jimmy Carter announced he no longer needed treatment for cancer, less than seven months after revealing he'd been diagnosed with melanoma that spread to his brain. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled aggressively in a Democratic presidential debate in Flint, Michigan, over trade, Wall Street influence and more.

I just checked it out, sounds delish. And when Andy posted he was there yesterday on FB, I looked it up, only 55 minutes from the CF house. Might need to make a roadtrip there in May.

In 1853, Verdi's opera "La Traviata" premiered in Venice, Italy.

That is funny, I think the Toro is the worst in the line closely followed by the Robusto. Caixa and Corona are at the very top for me. (have not tried the two newest offerings from them) Different folks, different smokes!
And of course I luv the Lancero but not readily available.

At least he used his tongue on the fence first. Nice to hear that foreplay isn't dead.

Smoked another one off my short list earlier today - Four Kicks Black Belt Buckle by Crowned Heads. Didn't like it as much as the regular Four Kicks. It had a great aroma but it tasted like bitter coffee and burnt leather. Funny thing is that it was more bitter in the beginning and smoothed out as it got down to the nub. I wouldn't suggest it if you're a fast smoker or if you enjoy typical sweet maduro flavors. Then again, it only had a couple of weeks of downtime so it will probably improve with age. Construction was decent, only touched it up once.
