What's up cigar enthusiasts?! Any cigar deals on the various internet sites that are worth talking about? Join in this discussion 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!

Another jam? That's 3 this week. Let's hope there is something good or new for us to talk about.

Only about 1/2 done with this Padron so looks like I'll be here a while despite the early start I'll need to get in the morning.

Another jam? That's 3 this week. Let's hope there is something good or new for us to talk about.
We started with La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon for 5/$25 and now La Gloria Cubana Edicion Festival - Box of 8 /$34.99. Both different for a typical jam. So I'd say we are off to a good start.
-
I also kind of like the new way cigar.com is doing their Daily Deal recently with 3 from the same brand.

Followed by My Father No. 1 (robusto) 5/$34.50. Not too shabby. Not saying it's the best deal out there but it ain't the worst either.

Well anyhoo, although I've still got about another inch on this cigar, I've been smoking it for an hour and it's time to turn in.
Buona notte.

Non cigar related but man the Yankees suck this year. Cashman has to go. Hank and Hal don't have their fathers desire........it's sad.
-
9:30am here and have plans to enjoy a smoke this afternoon. Haven't seen any deals as I don't even pay attention to the jams anymore. Cigarpage became just another vendor with same prices, decent deals on some Cubans and the room 101 deal I hit on CI was nice. I should have a CI box with the new Bueso when I get home. I'll check the airports duty free shops for deals tonight.

Morning, all. Happy my Friday. Tony - did I read last night's banter right, that you've no longer been able to avoid the chopping block? Sorry to hear that, if I'm reading it right.

Morning Golf, Happy Friday here too.

Morning Blue. One AC in my house crapped out yesterday when the heat index was 116 degrees do you think you could stop by on the way home this morning and fix it up?

No cigars for at least 10 days though.

Now I will say that Housing Cost in Austin are stupid based on the other large Metro areas in TX but this is the biggest bunch of ignorant crap I have seen lately. I mean really,
people assholes move here from CA where they sold a 1500 sq ft bungalow on a 1/20 acre lot for $2 million and buy a 4,000 sq ft house on the lake with a 1/2-3/4 acre lot here with the money.
Is your house really worth what you’re paying for it?
According to a new Forbes list, if you’re living in Austin or San Antonio, it definitely isn’t. The site compiled a list of the most overvalued and undervalued housing markets in the United States, and the neighboring Central Texas cities tied for the No. 1 spot.
Homes in both Austin and San Antonio are overvalued by 19 percent, the most of any housing market in the country, Forbes reports. To give you a little perspective, homes in San Francisco, a city notorious for its unreasonable housing prices, are overvalued by 14 percent.

The truth of it is this is just another "oh the poor people are so outcast" exposure ploy. Austin, as pretty much every other top 50 metro area in the country has become too expensive for the low wage earners to live in town. And over the past 5 or so years the yuppie cool people have found it to be a great facsimile of reality tv to go over to East Austin (where most of the poverty in Austin is) and buy old houses for $50-75,000 in a dangerous neighborhood and spend upwards of $300,000 making them nice, often they spend $500,000+ so now all the $100,000 and less houses don't exist anymore. So then the same yuppie assholes whine about the poor not having places to live........ and on and on.
Sorry, guess I had a Raz Attack there but it is the way it is.

Yesterday it was the AC and today it is this (building next to ours), damn that is right by where I sit and visit the vagrants.
A suspicious package has been reported in the Thornberry Garage just inside the entryway with the glass doors. This is near the loading dock and the elevator.
Please AVOID this area until the APD bomb squad can examine the package and the all clear is given.

Today is Thursday, June 16, the 168th day of 2016. There are 198 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On June 16, 1963, the world's first female space traveler, Valentina Tereshkova (teh-ruhsh-KOH'-vuh), 26, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6; she spent 71 hours in flight, circling the Earth 48 times before returning safely.
On this date:
In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Lochleven Castle in Scotland. (She escaped almost a year later but ended up imprisoned again.)
In 1858, accepting the Illinois Republican Party's nomination for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
In 1903, Ford Motor Co. was incorporated.
In 1911, IBM had its beginnings as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. was incorporated in New York State.
In 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act became law with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signature. (The Act was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was founded as President Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933.
In 1941, National Airport (now Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) opened for business with a ceremony attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In 1943, comedian Charles Chaplin, 54, married his fourth wife, 18-year-old Oona O'Neill, daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill, in Carpinteria, California.
In 1944, George Stinney, a 14-year-old black youth, became the youngest person to die in the electric chair as the state of South Carolina executed him for the murders of two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, 7.
In 1956, poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were married in London.
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos (toh-REE'-ohs) exchanged the instruments of ratification for the Panama Canal treaties.
In 1987, a jury in New York acquitted Bernhard Goetz of attempted murder in the subway shooting of four youths he said were going to rob him; however, Goetz was convicted of illegal weapons possession. (In 1996, a civil jury ordered Goetz to pay $43 million to one of the persons he'd shot.)
In 1996, Russian voters went to the polls in their first independent presidential election; the result was a runoff between President Boris Yeltsin (the eventual winner) and Communist challenger Gennady Zyuganov. Sportscaster Mel Allen died in Greenwich, Connecticut, at age 83.
Ten years ago: The House rejected a timetable for pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq, 256-153. In Iraq, three 101st Airborne Division soldiers were killed in an attack while two others were abducted (their mutilated bodies were found three days later). In Martinez, California, Susan Polk, 48, was convicted of second-degree murder for stabbing to death her millionaire psychotherapist husband, Felix Polk, whom she had first met as a 14-year-old girl in treatment. "Lonelygirl15," a fictitious video blogger played by actress Jessica Lee Rose, made her online debut.
Five years ago: U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., announced his resignation from Congress, bowing to the furor caused by his sexually charged online dalliances with a former porn actress and other women. Osama bin Laden's longtime second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri (AY'-muhn ahl-ZWAH'-ree), took control of al-Qaida.
One year ago: Real estate mogul Donald Trump launched his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. A 21st-birthday party thrown by a group of visiting Irish college students in Berkeley, California, turned tragic when the fifth-floor balcony they were crowded on collapsed, spilling 13 people about 50 feet onto the pavement, killing six. The Golden State Warriors won their first NBA championship since 1975, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-97 in Game 6.

Thought for Today: "Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control." - Cyril Connolly, British critic (1903-1974).
-
I have been here 30 minutes and the ambulances are making their second run to the homeless shelter since I got here, sheesh what a damn waste of the tax payers money.
what waste, that you've been there for 30 minutes or a homeless person needs medical care? easy now, homeless are people too. I know, I was one.
I welcome you to come down here and see this mess in person then defend it, most all of the medical care is related to fights or drug overdoses. They have turned a 4-5 square block downtown area into a complete wasteland. And FYI per city records every one of those emergency runs cost the tax payers $7-10 thousand dollars minimum.
I wasted 30 minutes too but it pays well.

The Sis has become the "What Next Waldo" of the Daily Deal Programs. I am no expert but just perhaps they should next try "quality offerings at competitive prices", it would be a long shot but who knows it might work even better than that stupid race horse whatever they have.

You read it correctly. Don't be sorry, be happy for me. Unfortunately, my last day isn't until October 14th. Can't wait to get the eff out. In a way, it's my new schedule.

NO, we don't have "city" taxes other than real property and sales tax. Don't own any real property in this fuct up city nor do I donate more than maybe a hundred dollars or so annually to their sales tax bucket.

No state income tax here either but in the large metro areas Real Property Taxes are out the ass and roughly 65% of them are school taxes so they can build monumental football stadiums and pay a dozen different school district administrators $500,000 per year. Oh yeah, then there is the Robin Hood Law which means we have to donate our school taxes to the poor counties, AKA the Mexican border counties.

Another report said found in 10,000 foot deep water.
Authorities found EgyptAir flight MS804 on Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press reported.
Egypt said it "spotted and obtained images from the wreckage of the EgyptAir," AP reported.
Debris was discovered by the John Lethbridge, a ship equipped with sonar capability.
The wreckage was spotted between the island of Crete and the Egyptian coast.
The flight crashed May 19 while en route from Paris to Cairo, Egypt.
Sixty-six people died when the plane crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. The crew never issued a distress call.
The cause of the crash has not been determined, but weather was clear at the time and is not thought to be a factor.

I always consider that as part of the definition of a word.
Jeremiah was a naysayer. That Jewish prophet, who lived from about 650 to 570 BC, spent his days lambasting the Hebrews for their false worship and social injustice and denouncing the king for his selfishness, materialism, and inequities. When not calling on his people to quit their wicked ways, he was lamenting his own lot; a portion of the Old Testament's Book of Jeremiah is devoted to his "confessions," a series of lamentations on the hardships endured by a prophet with an unpopular message. Nowadays, English speakers use "Jeremiah" for a pessimistic person and "jeremiad" for the way these Jeremiahs carry on. The word jeremiad was actually borrowed from the French, who coined it as "jérémiade."

Now this is crazy thus one of you computer guru's might can explain it.
iPhone was working fine a couple of hours ago, walked outside the building and suddenly no matter what web site I try to go to (regardless of whether it is direct from the bookmarks or I type it directly in) it takes me to the Austin Omni Hotel site which is almost across the street. Now I am back up to my office basically the same distance from the Omni just up 8 floors and it is working just fine.

At $500/pop they must be Saturday night special AR's!
That O'gunner he is one hell of a salesman!
Gun Shop Owner: AR-15's Flying Off Shelves at $500 a Pop
Adventure Outdoors Owner Jay Wallace told Fox Business Network’s Stuart Varney that sales of AR-15s and other firearms have “really kicked up” since Sunday.
Wallace claimed that he has sold more than 15 AR-15’s per hour and may know the reasons as to why there is such a rise in sales.
“[People] are afraid that the government is going to take [guns] away and there are folks that are in fear because of the times that we are living in today and those are two big reasons,” he said.

Just add a bunch of salsa and it makes them much more tolerable, I actually kind of like them but I do prefer the "no fat" over the "vegetarian".
Need a little oil, even if it is vegetable. Obviously, the best are Frijoles Refritos made with bacon drippings. But what doesn't bacon make better. It's probably the most perfect food there is. lol
Eating beans leads to fart fights.
Now where in the hell did you learn such as that?
I learned it on the banter of course.

Gun sales surge among gays, lesbians after Orlando shooting
The Pink Pistols is a national gun club for gays and lesbians. It saw its membership soar from about 1,500 members on Saturday to 3,500 on Monday.
I laugh every time I see one in a shop!
Are they pink so you can hide them in the lingerie drawer?
I think you should find out.
I think he already knows. ;)

Fat free frijoles... they must be extra pastey. Healthy choices are tough. Well, not the choice so much as the eating part. lol
The warden gets the vegetarian ones occasionally. Some aren't too bad. :-
Just add a bunch of salsa and it makes them much more tolerable, I actually kind of like them but I do prefer the "no fat" over the "vegetarian".
Need a little oil, even if it is vegetable. Obviously, the best are Frijoles Refritos made with bacon drippings. But what doesn't bacon make better. It's probably the most perfect food there is. lol
Or at least lard.
Aren't they basically the same thing?

Morning, all. Happy my Friday. Tony - did I read last night's banter right, that you've no longer been able to avoid the chopping block? Sorry to hear that, if I'm reading it right.
You read it correctly. Don't be sorry, be happy for me. Unfortunately, my last day isn't until October 14th. Can't wait to get the eff out. In a way, it's my new schedule.
And your countdown beats TexDave's....
A four month notice? Interesting. How do they keep you remotely interested in showing up? Lord the severance package over you? Sounds f'd up to me.
That's exactly how they do it. You want 3/4 of next year's salary in one lump sum? ...Don't eff up!

No, and they won't be. Too many Latinos here to allow that. They know that you can't have great tortillas and beans without pig fat.

For your reading pleasure...
Lard can be obtained from any part of the pig where there is a high concentration of fatty tissue. The highest grade of lard, known as leaf lard, is obtained from the "flare" visceral fat deposit surrounding the kidneys and inside the loin. Leaf lard has little pork flavor, making it ideal for use in baked goods, where it is valued for its ability to produce flaky, moist pie crusts. The next-highest grade is obtained from fatback, the hard subcutaneous fat between the back skin and muscle of the pig. The lowest grade (for purposes of rendering into lard) is obtained from the soft caul fat surrounding digestive organs, such as small intestines, though caul fat is often used directly as a wrapping for roasting lean meats or in the manufacture of pâtés.
Lard may be rendered by either of two processes: wet or dry. In wet rendering, pig fat is boiled in water or steamed at a high temperature and the lard, which is insoluble in water, is skimmed off the surface of the mixture, or it is separated in an industrial centrifuge. In dry rendering, the fat is exposed to high heat in a pan or oven without the presence of water (a process similar to frying bacon). The two processes yield somewhat differing products. Wet-rendered lard has a more neutral flavor, a lighter color, and a high smoke point. Dry-rendered lard is somewhat more browned in color and flavor and has a lower smoke point. Rendered lard produces an unpleasant smell when mixed with oxygen.
Industrially-produced lard, including much of the lard sold in supermarkets, is rendered from a mixture of high- and low-quality fat sourced from throughout the pig. Lard is often hydrogenated to improve its stability at room temperature. Hydrogenated lard sold to consumers typically contains fewer than 0.5 g of transfats per 13 g serving. Lard is also often treated with bleaching and deodorizing agents, emulsifiers, and antioxidants such as BHT. These treatments make it more consistent and prevent spoilage. (Untreated lard must be refrigerated or frozen to prevent rancidity.)
Consumers seeking a higher-quality source of lard typically seek out artisanal producers of rendered lard, or render it themselves from leaf lard or fatback.
A by-product of dry-rendering lard is deep-fried meat, skin and membrane tissue known as cracklings.

Yeah, it was here in town just a few miles from my house. Older one but perfect condition, $7000 new and guy wanted $2000 so offered him $1200 then went to $1500 and thought I could wait him out. It had been for sale for a good while and it sold a week or so after the $1500 offer.

I got to stop and get some sparkling water on the way home, going to be real warm on the patio today.
Don't forget to cart your 5 Vegas Limitada '15's before you leave... sheesh
Hard to resist at a 50% savings.
I know, right. Practically pre-FDA pricing.
You should really hit on the AB 90+ rated 2nds on the weekly special - 20/$30 Corona's. 83% Savings!
Honestly, I'd probably do that before the 5 Vegas option. Maybe even the Gran Habano 3 Siglos SLS, but alas, I caved on the box of Cuarenta's on the bid site last night. 25/$76 ;)
Good move there, I gave it some thought but I got enough cigars for life and then some.
I am trying to hit a nice used high end cabinet humidor. Frik'n had a beautiful J.C. Pendergast on the radar and fooled around too long trying to deal the guy down too much and missed it.
But not enough Short Stories, I hear. There's always something... AmIRight?

For your reading pleasure...
Lard can be obtained from any part of the pig where there is a high concentration of fatty tissue. The highest grade of lard, known as leaf lard, is obtained from the "flare" visceral fat deposit surrounding the kidneys and inside the loin. Leaf lard has little pork flavor, making it ideal for use in baked goods, where it is valued for its ability to produce flaky, moist pie crusts. The next-highest grade is obtained from fatback, the hard subcutaneous fat between the back skin and muscle of the pig. The lowest grade (for purposes of rendering into lard) is obtained from the soft caul fat surrounding digestive organs, such as small intestines, though caul fat is often used directly as a wrapping for roasting lean meats or in the manufacture of pâtés.
Lard may be rendered by either of two processes: wet or dry. In wet rendering, pig fat is boiled in water or steamed at a high temperature and the lard, which is insoluble in water, is skimmed off the surface of the mixture, or it is separated in an industrial centrifuge. In dry rendering, the fat is exposed to high heat in a pan or oven without the presence of water (a process similar to frying bacon). The two processes yield somewhat differing products. Wet-rendered lard has a more neutral flavor, a lighter color, and a high smoke point. Dry-rendered lard is somewhat more browned in color and flavor and has a lower smoke point. Rendered lard produces an unpleasant smell when mixed with oxygen.
Industrially-produced lard, including much of the lard sold in supermarkets, is rendered from a mixture of high- and low-quality fat sourced from throughout the pig. Lard is often hydrogenated to improve its stability at room temperature. Hydrogenated lard sold to consumers typically contains fewer than 0.5 g of transfats per 13 g serving. Lard is also often treated with bleaching and deodorizing agents, emulsifiers, and antioxidants such as BHT. These treatments make it more consistent and prevent spoilage. (Untreated lard must be refrigerated or frozen to prevent rancidity.)
Consumers seeking a higher-quality source of lard typically seek out artisanal producers of rendered lard, or render it themselves from leaf lard or fatback.
A by-product of dry-rendering lard is deep-fried meat, skin and membrane tissue known as cracklings.
Damn, we be smart now!
Sheesh, and you guys keep calling ME the professor.

Indeed. I was in the passenger seat. First time I've been in a vehicle when the air bags deployed. That's some surreal schitt.

Kids were out driving the family car, hit a slick spot and took out a tree. Colin says he never wants to smell deployed airbags ever again. Weird smell to be sure.
