PGA Championship grouping of Garcia, Koepka and Spieth live on the PGA app right now, if you happen to be stuck at work like me.

Is Tiger playing?

I happen not to be stuck at work but the coverage on the golf channel is not so great.  They are busy trying to make Charley Hoffman a great golfer even though he never wins.

That's the kind of thing you're relegated to when you're not allowed to broadcast any of the coverage.

Yep, Fuk'n Commies!  PGA probably wants $10 million "for charity of course" to let them cover it properly.

You could probably head down to a local sports bar.  I'm sure they have coverage on some of their screens.

Oh, I'm sure it's much more than that. Lol

I think it comes on either TBS or TNT at 11.

A lot of lower volume smokers go to B&M's thinking they will get some good advice on purchases...... Well if you think there is much or any validity to that then send the warden to a few B&M's to buy some cigars per their recommendations and see what she comes home with.

When we went to the new B&M for the Saturday retirement Herf the first thing the guy did was try to sell me on an RyJ.

Edit:  if Amazon sold Cigars the end of B&M's would be near but since newbies and low volume smokers have to search out good vendors, none of which they have ever heard of, they go to B&M's.

Beyond the newbie factor, browsing a decent B&M for a 2-3 sticks one hasn't tried is fun.  And they can be a good place to enjoy a smoke when the weather sucks.

True, but it comes at a price and in high tax states it comes at a big price.

Indeed.

What timing, and on this very topic from HalfWheel Today:

Smokers in New York City could soon be looking at a significant increase of tobacco products if a proposal scheduled to go before the New York City Council today gets approved.

Int. No. 1544-B was introduced back in April, but the proposal underwent an amendment during its hearing by the council’s Committee on Health yesterday that makes the taxes even more punishing.

Passed 7-0 with two members absent, the bill would establish a price floor of $8 per cigar when sold individually, a minimum that must be established before OTP and sales taxes are added. For box sales, the price floor would be established by multiplying the number of cigars in the box by $1.75, and then adding $6.25.

It would also establish a new excise tax of 10 percent of the price floor, or 80 cents per stick when sold individually. For a box purchase, the tax would be 80 cents for the first cigar, and then 17.5 for each additional cigar. In effect, it would make the minimum price of a cigar sold in New York City $8.80, and that’s before the state’s effective tax rate of 28.5 percent of the wholesale price.

The bill would also increase the minimum price on a pack of cigarettes cigarettes while establishing price floors and raising the taxes on little cigars, smokeless tobacco, suns, shisha and loose tobacco.

Funds raised from the increase would be directed to the New York City Housing Authority, which oversees the city’s public housing.

Thanks, just checked and it is TNT at Noon CST.

Could well be but I was thinking just for the morning rounds, could still be more than that, but at least is is all for charity.

Time to walk the dogs and I think I will enjoy a Short Story along the way.

First time I've ever heard of a price floor. Sounds like a truly asinine concept. Fuk'n commies!

I wonder how anyone can work or live there, but I suppose one can adapt to just about any commie situation.  TxDave vs City of Austin for example.
