@Travellin Dave : Could you elaborate on that Seasons cigar you were smoking earlier?
Very nice, flavorful cigar but price prohibitive. ($15).  Kinda bought it on a whim, attracted by the Cameroon wrapper.

Really appreciate this, thanks. I had never heard of it before.

We've had quite a few leaves fall as well, despite the fact that it's only been cool for about 24 hours now. So it begins!

Understood. We call it an open house. They had them this year, but they were all outdoors. Seemed like there was very little point in going because of that fact, so we didn't.

That could be. Might've also dropped it because of the new fad of the larger RGs. This one, along with the AAA corona, were good smokes gone too soon.

Yes they were tasty.  Don't know if it was a dispute or if they just made them with limited tobacco availability.

I think the AAA corona was just a one off thing for CI.  AJ seems to like non traditional shapes and sizes, maybe as practice or a distraction for his rollers,  and has a willing distributor with CI.  But with him expanding out making cigars for everybody now, I don't think he has as much time to "play".

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 22, the 265th day of 2021.
There are 100 days left in the year. Autumn arrives at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

 
Today's Highlight in History:

On Sept. 22, 2014, the United States and five Arab nations launched airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria, sending waves of planes and Tomahawk cruise missiles against an array of targets.

On this date:

In 1761, Britain's King George III and his wife, Charlotte, were crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of January 1, 1863.

In 1927, Gene Tunney successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against Jack Dempsey in the famous 'long-count' fight in Chicago.

In 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb.                                                                                                                                               
 
In 1950, Omar N. Bradley was promoted to the rank of five-star general, joining an elite group that included Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall and Henry H. 'Hap' Arnold.

In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses.

In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed.

In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war.

In 1993, 47 people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train fell off a bridge and crashed into Big Bayou Canot near Mobile, Alabama. (A tugboat pilot lost in fog pushed a barge into the railroad bridge, knocking the tracks 38 inches out of line just minutes before the train arrived.)

In 1995, an AWACS plane carrying U.S. and Canadian military personnel crashed on takeoff from Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska, killing all 24 people aboard.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

 
In 2017, Sen. John McCain declared his opposition to the GOP's last-ditch effort to repeal and replace 'Obamacare,' the second time in three months McCain had emerged as the destroyer of his party's signature promise to voters.

Ten years ago: American diplomats led a walkout at the U.N. General Assembly as Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (ah-muh-DEE'-neh-zhahd) fiercely attacked the United States and major West European nations as 'arrogant powers' ruled by greed and eager for military adventurism. Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Germany on his first state visit to his homeland.



Five years ago: Prosecutors charged a white Oklahoma police officer with first-degree manslaughter less than a week after she killed an unarmed Black man on a city street, saying in court documents the officer 'reacted unreasonably.' (Betty Shelby was acquitted in May 2017 of manslaughter in the death of Terence Crutcher.) It was disclosed that computer hackers had swiped personal information from at least 500 million Yahoo accounts in what was believed to have been the biggest digital break-in at an email provider.


One year ago: U.S. deaths from the coronavirus topped 200,000, by far the highest confirmed death toll from the virus in the world at that point, according to a count by Johns Hopkins University. The U.N. General Assembly convened for its first-ever virtual meeting, as Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged nations to tackle the coronavirus and the 'economic calamity' it had unleashed, as well as the risk of a new Cold War between the United States and China. A Louisiana state trooper, Chris Hollingsworth, died after a single-vehicle crash that took place hours after he learned he would be fired for his role in the 2019 in-custody death of a Black man, Ronald Greene, following a high-speed chase. Overriding the mayor's veto, Seattle's City Council voted to reduce the police budget and reallocate some money to community programs. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was released from a Berlin hospital after more than a month's treatment for poisoning. (Navalny would be arrested and jailed upon his return to Russia.)

I saw somewhere yesterday that a movie is coming out about Jean and Marguerite de Carrouges.  I'm surprised it took so long for Hollywood to get to them.  Of course, the plot has been done a gazillion times.  But still, they deserve a good biopic.

Y'all are looking at your screens in bafflement aren't you?

Agreed, this is a good one.
I like that one also.

Edit: I used to know a guy who smoked exclusively Hoyos. I never understood it. That was years before AJ made this fine stick.
Not sure why anyone would stick with one brand, regardless of how good it is. Variety is the spice of life.

Sheesh. It's been a bit of a crazy morning. I'm about to light last cigar of the summer. Have only had the Casa Cuevas Connecticut so this Maduro is a first for me.

Only about an inch into it but it's meh so far. (TWSS) The Connecticut is better.

I saw somewhere yesterday that a movie is coming out about Jean and Marguerite de Carrouges.  I'm surprised it took so long for Hollywood to get to them.  Of course, the plot has been done a gazillion times.  But still, they deserve a good biopic.

Y'all are looking at your screens in bafflement aren't you?
I'm just so happy that the movie is coming out.  Is it true Kim Kardashian is playing Marguerite?

It baffles me that they twisted the story.  LeGris was not Jean de Carrouges' squire.  Both were knights, who had been comrades-at-arms.  Creative license must always be taken to fit complex history into a movie, but this is just pointless. 

Still, it's a historical costume drama directed by Ridley Scott and it isn't a comic book movie.  We can thank God for what small favors he grants.

My understanding was that Le Gris was knighted just before the duel so that they would be considered equals.  de Carrouge was knighted much earlier as he had participated with distinction in a number of  military events.
