Good question. I think they're not going trick-or-treating but instead are having friends over for a little party this afternoon/evening.

I keep trying this stick because I love most Drew Estate stuff, and they're always part of the giveaways when I go to events. Unfortunately, I always seem to forget that it is a flavored cigar. No, thank you.

They certainly don't mention that in the copy. I never would've known.

Sounds like a good plan. I think mine are all going. The oldest was going to pass out candy with a friend instead, but I believe the friend couldn't get out to my parents' house, where we'll be this year.

It's possible that it's just a sweetened tip but I definitely feel like I tasted clove and other flavors. I have one close by, so maybe I should smoke it so that I could be clearer in my description.

Drew also just uses some weird tobaccos that make it seem flavored.  I think the Natural or Larutan line is not supposed to be flavored but seems to be.

Today is Thursday, Oct. 31, the 305th day of 2024.
There are 61 days left in the year. This is Halloween.



Today in history:

On Oct. 31, 1984, Indira Gandhi, India’s Prime Minister for more than 15 years, was assassinated by two of her own security guards.



Also on this date:


In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed a proclamation making Nevada the 36th state, eight days before the presidential election.

In 1913, the Lincoln Highway, the first automobile highway across the United States, was dedicated.

In 1941, work was completed on the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota, begun in 1927.

In 1950, Earl Lloyd of the Washington Capitols became the first African-American to play in an NBA game; Lloyd would go on to play for nine seasons, winning an NBA championship in 1955 with the Syracuse Nationals.

In 1961, the body of Josef Stalin was removed from Lenin’s Tomb as part of the Soviet Union’s “de-Stalinization” drive.

In 1999, EgyptAir Flight 990, bound from New York to Cairo, crashed off the Massachusetts coast, killing all 217 people aboard.

In 2005, President George W. Bush nominated Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.

In 2011, the United Nations estimated that world population had reached seven billion people (world population is greater than eight billion today).
