Weekend Spotlight from CI:
Romeo Reserva Real Short Churchill Boxes
EXTRA $79 OFF + UPGRADE!
Star-crossed savings are here this weekend! Some say it’s fate, others say it’s impulsiveness. Eitherway, it’s a damn fine deal. While you’re busy grilling and chilling, I've got something cooked up for limited time. We’re knocking an EXTRA $79 OFF boxes of Romeo y Julieta’s iconic Reserva Real Short Churchill (5”x54). Plus, I’ll even let you tack on a pack of 5 of the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully ($47 value) for just $10 more! Make sure you upgrade because all together you’re getting two top-rated blends for over HALF-OFF! Unfamiliar with these flavorful delights from one of the biggest names? Here’s the 411 on what you’re missing out.
The 91-rated Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real is a flavorful concoction hailing from the Dominican Republic and clocks in with a mellow to medium profile. The Dominican and Nicaraguan long fillers are carefully blended to balance their unique flavors, which are enveloped in a Nicaraguan binder leaf and completed by a flawless Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Sit back and relax as you unearth notes of spice with hints of cedar, leather, and cashews. Plus upgrading with the 92-rated Romeo y Julieta 1875 Bully (5”x50) is an easy win! Wrapped in Indonesian leaf and paired with a Dominican binder and long-fillers, this uber-tasty cigar offers perfect balance.
Don’t miss out on some 91+ rated Romeos for as low as $5.20 apiece!

Today is Saturday, May 31, the 151st day of 2025
with 214 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.
On this date in history:
In 1790, President George Washington signed a bill creating the first U.S. copyright law.
In 1859, construction concluded and bells rang out for the first time from London's Big Ben clock tower.
In 1889, a flood in Johnstown, Pa., left more than 2,200 people dead.
In 1902, Britain and South Africa signed a peace treaty ending the Boer War.
In 1916, the Battle of Verdun passed the 100-day mark. It would continue for another 200 days, amassing a casualty list of an estimated 800,000 soldiers dead, injured or missing.
In 1921, the Tulsa race massacre was set off when a mob of White residents attacked the Black residents and businesses in the Greenwood District. The total number of those killed in the violence is unknown, with an Oklahoma commission established in 2001 estimating between 75 to 100 people dead. The number of displaced Black residents was far greater.
In 1940, a thick fog hanging over the English Channel prevented the German Luftwaffe from flying missions against evacuating Allied troops from Dunkirk.
In 1985, seven federally insured banks in Arkansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Oregon were closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. It was a single-day record for closings since the FDIC was founded in 1934.
In 1996, Israeli voters elected opposition Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister.
In 2003, Eric Robert Rudolph, the long-sought fugitive in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing and attacks on abortion clinics and a gay nightclub, was arrested while rummaging through a dumpster in North Carolina. Rudolph, whose bombings killed two people and injured many others, was sentenced to four life terms in prison.
In 2005, Mark Felt admitted that, while No. 2 man in the FBI, he was "Deep Throat," the shadowy contact whose help to Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the 1972 Watergate break-in led to U.S. President Richard Nixon's resignation.
In 2012, John Edwards of North Carolina, former U.S. senator and presidential candidate, was acquitted on a charge of taking illegal campaign contributions, and a judge declared a mistrial on five other charges against him.
In 2014, U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, 28, captured in Afghanistan nearly five years earlier, was released by the Taliban in exchange for five detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. In March 2015, the Army announced that Bergdahl had been charged with desertion.
In 2019, a shooting a a Virginia Beach, Va., municipal center left 12 victims and the shooter -- a disgruntled former employee -- dead.
In 2021, China announced plans to allow couples to have a third child, scrapping its controversial two-child policy amid a slumping birth rate and aging population.

Heading downtown for a very large annual book sale. This will be the first time I can remember not sweating while I was there cause it's always so a warm.
Well, I wasn't sweating, but it wasn't great. This year they had to move the sale to a different space, but it was about a third the size of the previous space. Unfortunately, the same amount of people seemed to show up. What a mess that was, I got out of there much faster than I usually would. And that was always my favorite book sale of the year, quite a bummer.

Also, when exactly did daily showering become optional? Because it seems like an epidemic that's getting a little out of hand these days.

I'm hitting the shower real quick before going to see my son's performance at his school. You don't have to beat me over the head with it. Sheesh.
