It's not even that they didn't post a new deal, the web address that they normally use for the deal doesn't exist. I don't believe they would have discontinued it all together because there are still links and banners pointing to the non-existing page from their own website. But who knows? CI used to have a cigar forum too and they just got rid of it without warning, some time ago.

But that was probably due to various asshats that made it a pain for the moderators.  Wasn't worth the trouble.

CI's Weekend Spotlight looks more like a Tuesday spotlight...

Padilla Picadores
Starting at $1.50/cigar + Lighter UPGRADE!
While the word picadores relates to mounted bullfighters, I can assure you that there’s no bull here. Just a damn good closeout deal on Padilla Picadores Connecticut starting at just $29.99! Padilla has long been one of the most dependable brands on the market. With a multitude of blends that fit every budget, I’m not shocked to say that the whole assortment flies off our shelves. A creamy Connecticut wrapper in affordable bundles of 20 can’t get much better. Can it? Sure it can! I’ll even toss in a Rockwell Incline Triple Torch ($40 value) for just $5 more!

Today is Saturday, March 15, the 74th day of 2025
with 291 to follow.

The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter and Mars. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Venus.

On this date in history:

In 44 B.C., Julius Caesar was assassinated by Brutus and others in Rome. A gold coin commemorating his assassination minted two years after his death was sold at auction in 2020 for $3.5 million.

In 1820, as part of the Missouri Compromise between the North and South, Maine was admitted into the Union as the 23rd state. It had been administered as a province of Massachusetts since 1647.

In 1916, U.S. Army General John "Black Jack" Pershing led an expedition into Mexico to capture revolutionary leader Pancho Villa, who had staged several cross-border raids. The two-year expedition was unsuccessful.

In 1917, Czar Nicholas abdicated as ruler of Russia amid the February Revolution.

In 1939, German troops, occupying the Czech provinces in the name of Adolf Hitler, entered Prague in triumph to the hisses and catcalls of the people, who sang the Czech national anthem.

In 1965, in response to the violence witnessed in Selma, Ala., President Lyndon Johnson, in an address to Congress, proclaims that "We shall overcome," calling for voting rights for all.

In 1990, Mikhail Gorbachev was elected the first, and only, president of the Soviet Union.

In 1991, a grand jury indicted four Los Angeles police officers on felony assault charges for the beating of Rodney King. The officers' acquittals in 1992 sparked violent riots in the city.

In 2007, Palestinian leaders of Hamas and Fatah agreed to a coalition government but their platform didn't recognize Israel or renounce violence.

In 2011, protesters marched on the Syrian capital of Damascus calling for democratic reforms. Syrian security forces opened fire on the demonstrations. The uprisings, which spread across the country, were met with force, and by the end of May, more than 1,000 people had been killed by security forces.

In 2019, a gunman opened fire at two New Zealand mosques, killing 51 people, while live streaming.

In 2021, the U.S. Senate confirmed Deb Haaland as secretary of the Interior Department, making her the first Native American to serve in a presidential Cabinet.

In 2024, former Vice President Mike Pence said he would not endorse Donald Trump for president. Trump ended up winning the 2024 election, picking J.D. Vance as his running mate.
