Back to CI for a Weekend Spotlight:

Montecristo Viejo Boxes
EXTRA $60 OFF + $1 Lighter!
Montecristo is one of the world’s most storied and sought-after brands. This weekend, my spotlight is shining bright on the top-selling Montecristo Viejo! In typical CI fashion, our party is raging with a jubilant discount of OVER HALF-OFF + $1 UPGRADE Montecristo Viejo Stick Lighter ($39 value)! Wowza!

Hailing from the esteemed Flor de Copan factory in Honduras, it’s no wonder these boxes fly off our shelves on the daily. You’re in store for a medium-bodied flavor bomb that can hands down contend with all the other highly rated gems that hail from there. At its core sits vintage Dominican and Nicaraguan premium long-fillers nestled inside of a Criollo 98 binder. That goodness is then encased in a stunning milk-chocolate hued Ecuador Habano wrapper. Exuding notes of coffee, spice, and dark chocolate; each puff is teeming with big flavors.

Still not sold? Other Montecristo blends can go for the price of a monthly car payment! Montecristo Viejo delivers quality and flavor well below that. You can enjoy an EXTRA $60 OFF this masterpiece. Plus, relish the opportunity to score a spiffy new Montecristo Viejo Stick Lighter for just $1 more!

Used to enjoy Emilio Cigars back in the day.  Gary Griffith (no relation) owned a number of B&Ms in Delaware.  He started working with a young blender named AJ Fernandez and launched Emilio cigars.  Had a number of very nice smokes.  Company was sold off a number of years ago and Gary has no involvement.

Today is Saturday, Jan. 10, the 10th day of 2026
with 356 to follow.

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

On this date in history:


In 1789, the first nationwide U.S. presidential election was conducted. Electors chosen by the voters unanimously picked George Washington as president and John Adams as vice president.

In 1861, Florida seceded from the United States.

In 1878, a constitutional amendment that would give women the right to vote was introduced into the U.S. Senate. It wasn't until 42 years later that the amendment was enacted.

In 1901, oil was discovered at the Spindletop claim near Beaumont, Texas, launching the Southwest oil boom.

In 1920, the League of Nations came into being as the Treaty of Versailles went into effect.

In 1946, the first meeting of the U.N. General Assembly convened in London.

In 1957, Six dynamite blasts heavily damaged four black churches in Montgomery, Ala., and the homes of two ministers. No one was injured.

In 1984, the United States established full diplomatic relations with the Vatican for the first time in 116 years.

In 2003, North Korea announced it was withdrawing from the 1979 nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

In 2008, Edmund Hillary, who gained international fame as a member of the first climbing party to scale Mount Everest, died in Auckland, New Zealand, at age 88.

In 2013, President Barack Obama signed legislation designating Pinnacles National Monument in California a national park. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif.

In 2017, a federal jury sentenced self-avowed White supremacist Dylann Roof to death for shooting to death nine people at a historic Black church in Charleston, S.C.

In 2022, the U.S. Mint announced it began shipping a new quarter featuring poet Maya Angelou, the first U.S. coin to feature a Black woman.

In 2025, climate scientists announced the average global surface temperature for 2024 exceeded the 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels threshold set by the Paris Agreement for the first time and was the warmest year on record.

It was consistent, but pretty one-dimensional.
