CI Weekend Spotlight:

Partagas Anejo Boxes
Only $3.99/cigar + XIKAR Lighter UPGRADE!
Limited-Edition Partagas goodness for the lowest price ever! This weekend, I’m showcasing an extremely rare discount on the highly coveted boxes of the Partagas Anejo. For only $3.99 apiece, you’re getting an epic blend that uses wrapper leaves aged for 11 and 26 years. Of course, for a storied brand that is approaching their 180th Birthday, we’ll need to up the ante with something extra juicy. How about I tack on a Xikar Astral Single Torch Lighter ($39 value) for only $10 more? Two legends are joining forces this weekend, which means boxes are flying out of here for up to an EXTRA $87 OFF + Lighter Upgrade!

Today is Saturday, Aug. 24, the 237th day of 2024.
There are 129 days left in the year.



Today in history:

On August 24, 1992, Hurricane Andrew smashed into Florida; the storm resulted in 65 deaths and caused more than $26 billion in damage across Florida, Louisiana and the Bahamas.



Also on this date:

In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington, D.C., setting fire to the still-under-construction Capitol and the White House, as well as other public buildings.

In 1912, Congress passed a measure creating the Alaska Territory.

In 1932, Amelia Earhart embarked on a 19-hour flight from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, making her the first woman to fly solo, non-stop, from coast to coast.

In 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty came into force.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act, outlawing the Communist Party in the United States.

In 1981, Mark David Chapman was sentenced in New York to 20 years to life in prison for murdering John Lennon.

In 1989, Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti (juh-MAH’-tee) banned Pete Rose from the game for betting on his own team, the Cincinnati Reds.

In 1991, in response to a coup attempt by hardline Communist leaders attempting to reassert control over the Soviet Union, Ukrainian parliamentarians voted to approve a Declaration of Independence for the state of Ukraine.

In 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto was no longer a full-fledged planet, demoting it to the status of a “dwarf planet.”

In 2012, a Norwegian court found Anders Behring Breivik guilty of terrorism and premeditated murder for twin attacks on July 22, 2011 that killed 77 people; he received a 21-year prison sentence that can be extended as long as he is considered dangerous to society.

In 2018, the family of Arizona Sen. John McCain announced that he had discontinued medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer; McCain died the following day.

In 2019, police in Aurora, Colorado, responding to a report of a suspicious person, used a chokehold to subdue Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man; he suffered cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital and was later declared brain dead and taken off life support.

In 2020, Republicans formally nominated President Donald Trump for a second term on the opening day of a scaled-down convention; during a visit to the convention city of Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump told delegates that “ the only way they can take this election away from us is if this is a rigged election. ”

That's such a scary thing. It would be more palatable if you said 70 Million people who feel they don't have any other choice.

I've had an interesting afternoon. First, I had to change my auto pay credit card for a bunch of different services. Last week we received a shipment from Fresh Direct and we never ordered it. Apparently, my wife attempted three years ago and cancelled it once our shipment wasn't received. ??? She would never have ordered what we got last week. Anyhoo, credit card was cancelled but now we have to fix all the auto pay bullshit that has been set up.

I also got another ticket for an expired car registration. Expired in August of '22. Usually, new car registrations are valid for four years. But my wife's car was technically used because it was a dealer's loaner and we bought it with several thousand miles on it already. The thing is, I never thought anything of the registration because I knew that the emissions inspection wasn't due for another year. We never received anything in the mail so I assumed the registration was for four years too. Now I can't renew it online. I had to make a DMV appointment. What a pain in the ass.

I also learned I was paying for two separate Paramount+ subscriptions. Funny, since we watch neither of them. I had to cancel the one. The other is part of my Showtime so I'll be keeping it for a while longer.
