There are 298 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 8, 1965, the United States landed its first combat troops in South Vietnam as 3,500 Marines arrived to defend the U.S. air base at Da Nang.
On this date:
In 1618, German astronomer Johannes Kepler devised his third law of planetary motion.
In 1817, the New York Stock & Exchange Board, which had its beginnings in 1792, was formally organized; it later became known as the New York Stock Exchange.
In 1948, the Supreme Court, in McCollum v. Board of Education, struck down voluntary religious education classes in Champaign, Illinois, public schools, saying the program violated separation of church and state.
In 1971, Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali by decision in what was billed as “The Fight of the Century” at Madison Square Garden in New York. Silent film comedian Harold Lloyd died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 77.
In 1983, in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals convention in Orlando, Florida, President Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an “evil empire.”
In 1988, 17 soldiers were killed when two Army helicopters from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, collided in mid-flight.
In 1999, baseball Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio died in Hollywood, Florida, at age 84.
In 2000, President Bill Clinton submitted to Congress legislation to establish permanent normal trade relations with China. (The U.S. and China signed a trade pact in November 2000.)
In 2004, Iraq’s Governing Council signed a landmark interim constitution.
In 2008, President George W. Bush vetoed a bill that would have banned the CIA from using simulated drowning and other coercive interrogation methods to gain information from suspected terrorists.
In 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 with 239 people on board, vanished during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, setting off a massive and ultimately unsuccessful search.
In 2016, Sir George Martin, the Beatles’ urbane producer who guided the band’s swift, historic transformation from rowdy club act to musical and cultural revolutionaries, died at age 90.

Five years ago: Hawaii became the first state to sue to stop President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban (the state had previously sued over Trump’s initial travel ban, but that lawsuit was put on hold while other cases played out across the country). Many American women stayed home from work, joined rallies or wore red to demonstrate how vital they were to the U.S. economy, as International Women’s Day was observed with a multitude of events around the world, including the Day Without a Woman in the U.S. Fire swept through a crowded youth shelter near Guatemala City, killing 40 girls.
One year ago: According to some long-awaited guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fully vaccinated Americans could now gather with other vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or social distancing. Novak Djokovic surpassed Roger Federer for the most weeks at No. 1 in the ATP rankings; it was his 311th week in the top spot.

It was a little heavy in the chest to be considered a mild cigar, IMHFO. I'd smoke it again though.It's tauted to be mild but I'm finding it to have a lot of body... Like me! I thought the sampler was made up of different sizes of the same cigar and now I'm more excited that they are all a bit different. I'll keep you posted.So far, so good. Mild but pleasant. I think they go for $11 apiece and I'm not sure I can say it's that good.I'll be smoking the newly acquired Maceda robusto from Tabanero Cigars.What new ones?It is a bit windy but not as cold as I was expecting. May be having one of my new cigars on the commute home today.There's probably a bit of nostalgia tied up in there, to the before-times. But yes, I suspect that shine will wear off quickly.I'm actually not minding it but I'm certain it will grow old before too long.It may as well be Monday. They just announced a bus broke down ahead of us in the "express" lane.Man, I don't miss the commute even a little.
Did you revitalize your humidor on your last trip in?
My cigars at the office look ok but I need to get 'em home today and introduce them to some humidity. Don't want to shock them so will do it slowly.
Retrohale has some nice vanilla and creamy notes. Mild pepper too.

Basketball tournaments rolling.I was going to try to get in touch with Rick from Spokane (forget his moniker). He always had an interesting NCAA pool.

Me too. Major increase!This COVID really did a number on us.Possibly. My consumption has dropped off since I "closed" my cigar lounge owing to conflict at the height of the pandemic with the friends who most often frequented it.That might be the key.Need to start adding cigars to your relaxation regimen.Had a lot on my mind. It's okay, I'm probably taking the afternoon off, anyway.Sheesh. Sorry to hear it.No. Was up most of the night. Grabbed a few winks between 6 and 7:45.Morning, muchachos.Good morning, Bret. Good night's sleep?

I know, but he may be tempted by a lounge.Dean isn't interested in CI.Next one will be #3 in Texas. Wonder if they will venture out of the three cigar friendly states of Texas, Florida and PA? Maybe they'll put one near Dean.More CI stores coming in the next few years:Interesting. I wonder if they will just keep getting bigger and bigger?

Figured it was one of those 2. Nearly impossible to tell the difference if they're not side by side.Close, MOWPA.Looks like an MoWPAM to me.Basketball tournaments rolling.Is that an Armada?

A few hours later and I'm still enjoying the finish on this cigar. It's not at all overwhelming. I'm about to have dinner though and then I'm sure it will be gone.It was a little heavy in the chest to be considered a mild cigar, IMHFO. I'd smoke it again though.It's tauted to be mild but I'm finding it to have a lot of body... Like me! I thought the sampler was made up of different sizes of the same cigar and now I'm more excited that they are all a bit different. I'll keep you posted.So far, so good. Mild but pleasant. I think they go for $11 apiece and I'm not sure I can say it's that good.I'll be smoking the newly acquired Maceda robusto from Tabanero Cigars.What new ones?It is a bit windy but not as cold as I was expecting. May be having one of my new cigars on the commute home today.There's probably a bit of nostalgia tied up in there, to the before-times. But yes, I suspect that shine will wear off quickly.I'm actually not minding it but I'm certain it will grow old before too long.It may as well be Monday. They just announced a bus broke down ahead of us in the "express" lane.Man, I don't miss the commute even a little.
Did you revitalize your humidor on your last trip in?
My cigars at the office look ok but I need to get 'em home today and introduce them to some humidity. Don't want to shock them so will do it slowly.
Retrohale has some nice vanilla and creamy notes. Mild pepper too.
