Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

I've enjoyed the Pyrat quite a bit. How was the cigar? Been wanting to try it, but haven't been able to locate it.

Passive snow is just a dusting found on grass and tree limbs, but you didn't actually see how and when it got there.

Nah, my family never did that. My mom was big on not eating meat, but we didn't count the seafood items we were eating.

On my wife's Cuban side, it's all about the swine.

I've enjoyed the Pyrat quite a bit. How was the cigar? Been wanting to try it, but haven't been able to locate it.
It was very good, glad I found them. I also got a maduro to try, I'll probably have that one in the next couple of days

Today is Tuesday, Dec. 24, the 359th day of 2024.
There are seven days left in the year. This is Christmas Eve.


Today in history:
On Dec. 24, 1914, during World War I, impromptu Christmas truces began to take hold along parts of the Western Front between British and German soldiers.



Also on this date:

In 1814, the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812 following ratification by both the British Parliament and the U.S. Senate.

In 1851, fire devastated the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., destroying about 35,000 volumes (about two-thirds of the library’s collection).

In 1865, several veterans of the Confederate Army formed a private social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, that was the original version of the Ku Klux Klan.

In 1913, 73 people, most of them children, died in a crush of panic after a false cry of “Fire!” during a Christmas party for striking miners and their families at the Italian Hall in Calumet, Michigan.

In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe.

In 1992, President George H.W. Bush pardoned former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and five others in the Iran-Contra scandal.

In 2013, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II granted a posthumous pardon to code-breaker Alan Turing, who was criminally convicted of homosexual behavior in the 1950s.
