The Nica Rustica Shade is a study in refined balance. Dressed in a beautiful, silky Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, this cigar presents an elegant and inviting appearance that belies its robust lineage. The blend, which features a Mexican binder and a tri-country mix of fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Pennsylvania, is a testament to the art of blending. The result is a smooth, mellow-to-medium-bodied profile that delivers a symphony of flavors—expect notes of rich cream, toasted nuts, and a delicate cedar sweetness, all grounded by a subtle, perfectly-placed hint of spice on the finish. It’s a profile that captivates without overwhelming.

with 82 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Venus. Evening stars are Mars, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn.
On this date in history:
In 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy was formally opened at Fort Severn, Annapolis, Md., with 50 midshipmen in the first class.
In 1886, Griswold Lorillard of Tuxedo Park, N.Y., fashioned the first tuxedo for men.
In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek became chairman of the Republic of China. Following two civil wars, separated by a World War, Chiang Kai-shek and his Kuomintang party would head into exile in 1949 following defeat at the hands of the Communists.
In 1933, a United Airlines Boeing 247 is destroyed by sabotage, the first such proven case in the history of commercial aviation.
In 1956, no sign of compromise seen in Suez Canal dispute. Egypt had been pressing for a negotiated solution, "consistent with Egyptian sovereignty," though there were no signs that the Egyptians or the British and French were ready to compromise.
In 1971, having been sold, dismantled and moved to the United States, London Bridge reopens in Lake Havasu City, Ariz.
In 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew resigns in disgrace after pleading no contest to income tax evasion.
In 1985, movie legend Orson Welles, whose innovative Citizen Kane of 1941 was regarded by many as the best American-made film of all time, died of a heart attack at the age of 70.
In 1995, Israel freed about 900 Palestinian prisoners and pulled its troops out of four towns as the second phase of a peace plan was implemented on the West Bank.
In 1997, major tobacco companies agreed to a settlement in a class-action lawsuit by 60,000 flight attendants who said second-hand smoke made them ill. About a week earlier, tobacco executives admitted that tobacco causes lung cancer and other diseases.
In 2003, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Iranian lawyer Shirin Ebadi for her work in promoting democracy and human rights in Iran and beyond. She was the first Muslim woman to win the award.
In 2005, Angela Merkel became the first female chancellor of Germany after her Christian Democrats won the parliamentary election.
In 2008, former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work mediating conflicts in Namibia, Kosovo, Northern Ireland and Central Asia.
In 2014, the Nobel committee awarded the peace prize to Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, children's rights activists. Yousafzai, the youngest Nobelist in history, became a household name after Taliban militants shot her in the head in Pakistan, bringing attention to her cause -- education for girls.
In 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall on Mexico Beach, Fla., as a Category 5 storm. Michael directly caused 31 deaths and more than $25 billion in damage.
In 2020, Poland's Iga Świątek won her country's first major singles title, beating American Sofia Kenin in the French Open final.
In 2024, South Korean author Han Kang won the Nobel Prize in literature.

I did know it had a nautical origin, and what it was, and your usage threw me for a moment. Nouns don't get turned into verbs often in nautical settings because it can create imprecision that can easily get you killed. And a traditional scupper doesn't visually lend itself to the metaphor. So I had to parse. Your usage makes perfect sense, you had a golf game on deck (planned) and it got washed overboard through the scuppers. It just didn't align with the nautical paradigms in my brain at first.In fairness, I didn't know it had a nautical background.

Interestingly, the term "batten down the hatches," borrows a non-nautical term. A batten is a thin strip of wood. Used in construction, a set of battens can increase the rigidity of a load-bearing assembly made of larger pieces of wood.Sounds like we've all expanded our minds today, it's good day to be on the banter.I did know it had a nautical origin, and what it was, and your usage threw me for a moment.

On old sailing vessels, hatchways didn't have covers, or if they did they had a latticework to allow ventilation of lower decks - and since the old ships didn't have running water or showers, ventilation was, uh, really important. ;) To prepare for heavy weather, sailcloth coverings would be spread over the hatchways, and then strips of wood - battens - were nailed to the deck around the perimeter of the canvas. So, they "battened down the hatchways."
In modern sailing parlance, a batten is inserted into a pocket on a sail to provide rigidity and mitigate "lufting" (flapping) in low or inconsistent wind conditions, and provide strength to the sail in heavy wind conditions.

The stock market tanked today. I'm technically a millionaire no longer.I was gonna check on my 401k this weekend, see how it was surviving all [gestures broadly] this, but after today, I believe I'll wait a bit longer. 😆
It was fun while it lasted.

I might have to turn the heat on tonight. It's 65° in the house. My face is cold.Ours was at 63 this morning when I woke up. It's definitely coming up on that time.
