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!

One guess I made was using a letter that was already eliminated to try to get placement on the yellows I did have. In hindsight, that was a mistake. Should've just taken some more time with it.

Today is Tuesday, Jan. 13, the 13th day of 2026
with 352 to follow.

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

On this date in history:

In 1910, radio pioneer and electron tube inventor Lee Deforest arranged the world's first public radio broadcast, a performance by the New York Metropolitan Opera.

In 1915, nearly 30,000 people were killed in an earthquake in Avezzano, Italy.

In 1941, Irish novelist James Joyce died at age 58 following surgery for a perforated ulcer in Zurich, Switzerland.

In 1968, Johnny Cash recorded his infamous At Folsom Prison live record.

In 1982, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River bridge in Washington, killing 78 people.

In 1985, a passenger train traveling through Ethiopia hurled off the tracks, plunging four cars into a ravine. More than 400 people died and 500 sustained injuries.

In 1990, L. Douglas Wilder took office in Virginia, becoming the first elected Black governor of a U.S. state.

In 1991, at least 40 South Africans were killed and 50 injured when fighting erupted during a soccer game in Orkney.

In 1997, U.S. President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal of Honor to seven African-American soldiers for their courage in action in Italy during World War II. It was the first time the medal was given to Black WWII servicemen.

In 1999, Michael Jordan, regarded by many as the greatest basketball player ever, announced his second retirement. He led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships.

In 2001 a magnitude-7.7 early-morning earthquake killed more than 800 people, injured hundreds of others and caused widespread damage and destruction in El Salvador. Deadly mudslides were triggered by the quake.

In 2012, the cruise ship Costa Concordia slammed into a rocky shoal near the Italian coast and capsized, killing 32 people.

In 2016, three winning tickets split the largest lottery jackpot in the world -- $1.59 billion. The winning Powerball tickets were sold in California, Florida and Tennessee.

In 2018, an alert sent to cellphones in Hawaii falsely warned of a ballistic missile threat. Gov. David Ige said the mistake was caused by someone pushing "the wrong button."

In 2021, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump on charges he incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. He was the first president to be impeached twice. The Senate acquitted him both times.

In 2022, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II stripped her son Prince Andrew of his military affiliations and royal patronages amid accusations he sexually abused an underage girl.

In 2024, Taiwan's Lai Ching-te, the presidential candidate from the incumbent Democratic Progressive Party, won in a landslide victory as the island of 23 million sent a powerful message to China in a high-stakes election with global consequences.

I probably should have known Frances Sternhagen, I recognized her instantly when I looked her up, but I'd never noted her name.

Yes and no... Their defence did all the scoring until the wheels fell off the bus. Stroud was terrible, and his defense saved his ass. I'm looking forward to the game against the Pats because Maye's mettle will be tested. There won't be much of a New England running game, which is what Maye has been leaning on.

Stroud tried hard to give the game to the Steelers.  They were beaten more badly than the score indicates.
Yes and no... Their defence did all the scoring until the wheels fell off the bus. Stroud was terrible, and his defense saved his ass. I'm looking forward to the game against the Pats because Maye's mettle will be tested. There won't be much of a New England running game, which is what Maye has been leaning on.
The Steelers receivers dropped, what, three catchable passes?  Come up with those and it's a different game. 

But I could not shake the impression that Rodgers was wondering what the hell he was doing out there.  There was no excitement, no intensity.  My impression.

It's because his blood isn't strong enough due to a lack of the covid vaccine. :D

I take that back - the funniest thing would be they take Stefanski, the Ravens take Tomlin and we take Harbaugh. AFC North coach swap!

The SSL certificate for this site expires on February 6th. As previously posted, I will not be renewing it, nor the webhosting service when that comes up for renewal. I had asked if anyone had suggestions, so as not to lose this daily rapport we've built with our lurkers.

I've never been on Facebook, but I did a little research, and it seems I can create an account and a subsequent private group. I can also redirect CigarBanter.com web traffic to go there. I'll temporarily manage the requests for access to the group, but I would be more than happy to give a few of you admin access to allow members to join. I'm not expecting we'll get a lot of requests. It turns out that, after all the bots, we only had about 80 users on here. I was able to export the user information, and I'm considering sending out a "mass" email to inform those who will probably not see this. In the meantime, here is the link to the Facebook page:

Sounds like a workable solution to me. We actually did have a cigar group on FB many moons ago, I think Mike Weber created it. Eventually, I was the only one posting in it, so I just gave up. Perhaps we can do better this time around.

The SSL certificate for this site expires on February 6th. As previously posted, I will not be renewing it, nor the webhosting service when that comes up for renewal. I had asked if anyone had suggestions, so as not to lose this daily rapport we've built with our lurkers.

I've never been on Facebook, but I did a little research, and it seems I can create an account and a subsequent private group. I can also redirect CigarBanter.com web traffic to go there. I'll temporarily manage the requests for access to the group, but I would be more than happy to give a few of you admin access to allow members to join. I'm not expecting we'll get a lot of requests. It turns out that, after all the bots, we only had about 80 users on here. I was able to export the user information, and I'm considering sending out a "mass" email to inform those who will probably not see this. In the meantime, here is the link to the Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/876554795020245

I remind you that I don't have experience in this area, so I will gladly listen to suggestions, as long as they don't cost me anything.

You have a couple more weeks to get to 80k.

Sounds like a workable solution to me. We actually did have a cigar group on FB many moons ago, I think Mike Weber created it. Eventually, I was the only one posting in it, so I just gave up. Perhaps we can do better this time around.
I met Mike when he came to New York, once upon a time. Good dude.
I still use the travel case for his humidor company for the golf course. Looking a bit worn at this point, but it still works great. Never met him, though, unfortunately.
