Today is Saturday, July 23, the 205th day of 2016. There are 161 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On July 23, 1996, in one of the best remembered moments of the Atlanta Olympics, Kerri Strug made a heroic final vault despite torn ligaments in her sprained left ankle as the U.S. women gymnasts clinched their first-ever Olympic team gold medal.

On this date:

In 1885, Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, died in Mount McGregor, New York, at age 63.

In 1886, a legend - or myth - was born as Steve Brodie claimed to have made a daredevil plunge from the Brooklyn Bridge into New York's East River. (However, there are doubts about whether the dive had actually taken place.)

In 1914, Austria-Hungary presented a list of demands to Serbia following the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb assassin; Serbia's refusal to agree to the entire ultimatum led to the outbreak of World War I.

In 1945, French Marshal Henri Petain (ahn-REE' pay-TAN'), who had headed the pro-Axis Vichy (vee-shee) government during World War II, went on trial, charged with treason. (He was convicted and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to life in prison. On this date in 1951, Petain died in prison.)

In 1952, Egyptian military officers led by Gamal Abdel Nasser launched a successful coup against King Farouk I.

In 1962, the first public TV transmissions over Telstar 1 took place during a special program featuring live shots beamed from the United States to Europe, and vice versa.

In 1967, a week of deadly race-related rioting that claimed 43 lives erupted in Detroit.

In 1977, a jury in Washington, D.C. convicted 12 Hanafi (hah-NAH'-fee) Muslims of charges stemming from the hostage siege at three buildings the previous March.

In 1982, actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were killed when a helicopter crashed on top of them during filming of a Vietnam War scene for "Twilight Zone: The Movie." (Director John Landis and four associates were later acquitted of manslaughter.)

In 1984, Vanessa Williams became the first Miss America to resign her title, after nude photographs of her taken in 1982 were published in Penthouse magazine.

In 1986, Britain's Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson at Westminster Abbey in London. (The couple divorced in 1996.)

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush announced his choice of Judge David Souter (SOO'-tur) of New Hampshire to succeed the retiring Justice William J. Brennan on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten years ago: Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was hospitalized on the 17th day of a hunger strike; he appeared thinner but healthy at his trial a few days later. American Floyd Landis won the Tour de France (however, he was later disqualified for doping). Tiger Woods became the first player since Tom Watson in 1982-83 to win consecutive British Open titles. Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza of Puerto Rico was crowned Miss Universe 2006 at the pageant in Los Angeles.

Five years ago: Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her London home from accidental alcohol poisoning. Retired Army Gen. John Shalikashvili (shal-ee-kash-VEE'-lee), the first foreign-born chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, died at Madigan Army Medical Center near Tacoma, Washington, at age 75. Nguyen Cao Ky, 80, the flamboyant former air force general who'd ruled South Vietnam for two years during the Vietnam war, died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A bullet train crash in southern China claimed 40 lives.

One year ago: Secretary of State John Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee it was "fantasy plain and simple" to claim that President Barack Obama had failed to insist on enough restraints on Iran's nuclear program before agreeing to lift economic sanctions. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump paid a visit to the Mexico border, where he predicted Hispanics would love him, adding, "They already do." A gunman opened fire in a Lafayette, Louisiana, theater during a screening of the film "Trainwreck," killing two people and wounding nine before fatally shooting himself.

Anything is possible but I don't see it happening, once the rule making progress is completed it rarely changes.  You can thank Your Congress (D's and R's) for that as it became their little secret way of enacting terrible legislation without getting the blame for it.  But, that particular legislative act was mostly all Democrat Congress driven but it is still going on today with the R majority in both houses.

You will usually find that when an industry (and the cigar industry is a small industry relatively speaking) is taken over and controlled by a very few big Companies the entire Industry goes to chit.  That is exactly why real deals have gotten scarce and prices are elevating so rapidly.  We have not even touched the FDA Fuk'n yet, like you they seem to think it will go away.

I don't think so but in reality does it seem to matter too much?  Other than guns probably not since the Republicans have been high jacked by Rinos.

I have no such luck today. Mostly household chores for me. It's supposed to be real hot out so I think I'll stick to the indoor ones.
I did those early, should be pushing 100 here by lunch.

Those of us on here are not fans of Romeo y Julieta Reserve but 10 churchies for $40 ain't a bad deal if we were so inclined.
They are really not bad smokes IMHO but there are lots of better ones for $4 on deals I think.

Yard work done and got myself all cleaned up so now heading to the patio with my book and a smoke.

Just cut my Last old La Riqueza with a Tat style Flor de Lis on the label.  Bought a couple of boxes of them when they got sued and dumped all the old label stuff, price was ridiculous for some damn good cigars.
Lit with a Diet Coke and some Cigarettes and Coffee music.

8 or 9 years ago Altadis was having online sample deals on them and some Montecristo's at 3 for $5 or something like that and I bought a bunch of them, damn good smokes for that price just on the mild side.

Happy birthday Monica Lewinsky !

Blowjobs and cigars all around.
I am a former electric utility company intern, but no one still recognizes me for that. She got a tough break. I wonder if people would be so hard on her, no pun intended, if she were a guy?
No way, people would be high-fiving her all day long.
