Good morning. Why is my best sleep before the alarm goes off?That is a great point. I've noticed the same.
Good morning, Rick.

Heavy on the floral notes for this Connecticut. Anyone else agree?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220305/d37ecfd7f9762e47b314edd0dc2bdbea.jpg)I don't remember a lot of floral notes but it has been a while since I've smoked one. I will grab one this week and get back to you.

Good morning Tony. Anything planned for today?Lots. I just don't know the particulars. The Mrs has been scheming all week. I just know we're driving into NYC this evening after my daughter gets out of work.
Before that, my sons have their last basketball game this afternoon. This will determine who is in dead last place (The league is just made up between four teams within the town).
I suspect I will be running errands for the rest of the morning.
What are you up to, Rick?

Today is Saturday, March 5, the 64th day of 2022.
There are 301 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.
On this date:
In 1849, Zachary Taylor was inaugurated as the 12th president of the United States. (The swearing-in was delayed by a day because March 4 fell on a Sunday.)
In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson began in the U.S. Senate, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presiding. Johnson, the first U.S. president to be impeached, was accused of “high crimes and misdemeanors” stemming from his attempt to fire Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; the trial ended on May 26 with Johnson’s acquittal.
In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag.
In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ‘iron curtain’ has descended across the continent, allowing police governments to rule Eastern Europe.”
In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power.
In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).
In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons went into effect after 43 nations ratified it.
In 1979, NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe flew past Jupiter, sending back photographs of the planet and its moons.
In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33.
In 1998, NASA scientists said enough water was frozen in the loose soil of the moon to support a lunar base and perhaps, one day, a human colony.
In 2004, Martha Stewart was convicted in New York of obstructing justice and lying to the government about why she’d unloaded her Imclone stock just before the price plummeted; her ex-stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, also was found guilty in the stock scandal. (Each later received a five-month prison sentence.)
In 2020, Palestinian officials closed the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem over fears of the coronavirus. Officials ordered a cruise ship with 3,500 people aboard to stay back from the California coast until passengers and crew could be tested; a traveler from its previous voyage died of the coronavirus.

Five years ago: Throngs of people converged in the city of Selma, Alabama, for the annual re-enactment of a key event in the civil rights movement: the 1965 march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge by demonstrators seeking voting rights.
One year ago: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s health department confirmed that members of his COVID-19 task force altered a state Health Department report to omit the full number of nursing home patients killed by the coronavirus, but insisted the changes were made because of concerns about the data’s accuracy. California relaxed guidelines for reopening outdoor venues, clearing the way for fans to attend opening-day baseball games and return to Disneyland nearly a year after coronavirus restrictions shut down major entertainment spots. Movie theaters in New York City reopened, operating at only 25% capacity. Pope Francis began the first-ever papal visit to Iraq with an appeal for Iraqis to protect the country’s diversity, and for the country’s embattled and dwindling Christian community to persevere.

Interesting cigars. All corona's so could smoke all four today. No information given, but one is a connie, one probably habano, a maduro and a barber pole. Made by AJ I believe. All burned well.Starting on Southern Draw PeccadilloesThat's awesome Dave I read about that. Keep me informed. BTW I would have kept bantering last night but I got cold and tired.

Whether a gimic or not, pack of four cigars that you are supposed to rate.
The "connie" had nice pepper for the first half that unfortunately faded. Middle of the cigar had a very dry, woody mouth feel that was distracting. Improved in the last third.
The "habano" was a solid uniform smoke
The "maduro" also uniform with nice sweetness.
The barber pole probably had the most flavor and complexity.
After you smoke all four, you can fill out a questionnaire and be entered into a contest. Supposedly this voting is to be used to select one for release. They each have a name and number on the band but you need magnification to read it... ::)
