And for Rick, a whole page of Connie offerings. Some decent deals.

Yes I was eyeing that. 2 days left on the deal.
i don’t see this one.....but they are good!
Cub. Cigar Factory Benji Menendez
Benji Menendez features a smooth-as-silk Connecticut-seed Ecuadorian shade wrapper with extensively-aged Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers. Pleasant mellow, easy-smoking cigars with an alluring aroma, they're medium in body with ample flavor including creamy richness, caramel, cedar, leather, and mocha with subtle spice.
Years ago I went to a Benji event in NYC. It was fun but I can't say that I was a huge fan of his stuff. I remember meetings a botl there that smoked almost exclusively, Montecristo Platinums. He insisted that I take a few and once again, I wasn't all that impressed.
not a Davidoff but very nice and especially for the price.
I'm not a Davidoff fan either. That's the beauty of this thing we do. To each, his own.
never got into overpaying for a name.....it was just an example of a ladidaa cigar. Menendez Connecticut are worth revisiting
Well noted.

Well, they weren't wrong about the snow.
Our forecast started off as 6-10, then eventually went down to 2-4. Haven't looked outside yet, but it was still pretty light last night.

Ours began with 6-10 inches. When I looked again yesterday it was 10-15. Today it says 12-18.

It looks like about 6 inches fell so far but the heavy stuff is due this afternoon.

Here's something different...
Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Epicure (Toro) (6.0"x54) - 10 / $54.99
The good news is that it's jamming so it won't be up all day.

Yeah, they were talking about feet, plural, along the east coast when I was looking at it last night. Sheesh.

Gurkha Classic Havana Toro (6.0"x54) - 5 / $19.99

The timing is strange on today's jam. Looks to be ending at 7:PM EST. Wonder what they'll do with the last 5 hours before the flip?

You're right, that's odd. Maybe we'll get a preview of tomorrow's deal. Or, more likely, a whoops page.

Today is Monday, Feb. 1, the 32nd day of 2021.
There are 333 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia broke up during re-entry, killing all seven of its crew members: commander Rick Husband; pilot William McCool; payload commander Michael Anderson; mission specialists Kalpana Chawla, David Brown and Laurel Clark; and payload specialist Ilan Ramon (ee-LAHN’ rah-MOHN’), the first Israeli in space.
On this date:
In 1790, the U.S. Supreme Court convened for the first time in New York. (However, since only three of the six justices were present, the court recessed until the next day.)
In 1862, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a poem by Julia Ward Howe, was published in the Atlantic Monthly.
In 1865, abolitionist John S. Rock became the first Black lawyer admitted to the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1893, inventor Thomas Edison completed work on the world’s first motion picture studio, his “Black Maria,” in West Orange, New Jersey.
In 1942, during World War II, the Voice of America broadcast its first program to Europe, relaying it through the facilities of the British Broadcasting Corp. in London.
In 1943, during World War II, one of America’s most highly decorated military units, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, made up almost exclusively of Japanese-Americans, was authorized.
In 1960, four Black college students began a sit-in protest at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, where they’d been refused service.
In 1962, the Ken Kesey novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” was first published by Viking Press.
In 1968, during the Vietnam War, South Vietnam’s police chief (Nguyen Ngoc Loan) executed a Viet Cong officer with a pistol shot to the head in a scene captured by news photographers. Richard M. Nixon announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
In 1979, Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (hoh-MAY’-nee) received a tumultuous welcome in Tehran as he ended nearly 15 years of exile.
In 1991, 34 people were killed when an arriving USAir jetliner crashed atop a commuter plane on a runway at Los Angeles International Airport.
In 2018, a judge ordered a Wisconsin girl, Morgan Geyser, to be committed to a mental hospital for 40 years for stabbing a classmate when she was 12 years old to curry favor with the fictional horror character Slender Man.

Ten years ago: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he would not run for a new term in September elections but rejected protesters’ demands he step down immediately and leave the country, after a dramatic day in which a quarter-million Egyptians staged their biggest protest to date calling on him to go.
Five years ago: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz swept to victory in Iowa’s Republican caucuses, overcoming Donald Trump and a stronger-than-expected showing by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; among Democrats, Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter enthusiasm to a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton. The World Health Organization declared a global emergency over the explosive spread of the Zika virus, which was linked to birth defects in the Americas, calling it an “extraordinary event” that posed a public health threat to other parts of the world.
One year ago: As China’s death toll from the new coronavirus rose to 259, Beijing criticized Washington’s order barring entry to most foreigners who had visited China in the past two weeks. A World Health Organization official said governments needed to prepare for “domestic outbreak control.” Sofia Kenin of the United States beat Garbine Muguruza of Spain to win the Australian Open for her first Grand Slam title.

Sad news for Tony Bennett, revealing he's had alzheimer's for nearly 5 years. I remember going to see him in concert when I was in high school, went with a buddy of mine, his brother and their parents. We were the youngest people there by 20 years, easily.

I feel like he's been doing lots of public appearances in the last 5. Maybe I just have a poor sense of time.

No, I think he has, and he posts videos on his FB page on occasion. I guess those are just taken at times when he's doing well. I haven't had any experience with the disease personally, but I imagine there are good days and bad days.

I would say that is the case in the early stages. For example, my mom hasn't had a good day in over 6 years.
