Ten years ago: Front-runner Mitt Romney won the Illinois Republican primary with ease, routing Rick Santorum for his third big-state win in a row. Army linebacker Andrew Rodriguez received the James E. Sullivan Award, given by the Amateur Athletic Union to the top amateur athlete in the United States.

Five years ago: U.S. Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch pledged to be independent or “hang up the robe” as the Senate began confirmation hearings on President Donald Trump’s conservative pick for the nation’s highest bench. Trump met for the first time with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi at the White House. David Rockefeller, guardian of the Rockefeller fortune and billionaire philanthropist, died at his home in Pocantico (poh-KAN’-tih-koh) Hills, New York, at age 101.

One year ago: VCU was kicked out of the NCAA Tournament shortly before its first-round game because of multiple positive COVID-19 tests. Officials announced that spectators from outside Japan would be barred from the postponed Tokyo Olympics, which would open in four months; officials said it was too risky to admit ticket holders from overseas during a pandemic. Protesters in Germany clashed with police over coronavirus measures; protests against government efforts to rein in the pandemic were also reported in several other European countries.

LTG have you ever had the Ramone Allones that AJ blended?
That definitely is a fine cigar. I have smoked several.

Sorry, I know you weren't talking to me.

Good morning, Rick.
It is really that good.

Good morning Tony, Dave and Dave

Just my opinion and my taste....solid cigar but not a favorite AJ.  Flavor profile didn't ring the bell for me.  Not saying you shouldn't try it.  Clearly it gets higher ratings from others much more knowledgeable than me.

Today's offer from SBC:



Davidoff Vintage Original Royal 2013 Pack
We are excited to offer a sampler of the orginal Davidoff Royal from 2013. We were extremely lucky to be able to procure these and it's a treat to share one of our all time favorite Davidoff releases!


Crowned Heads Juarez Shots 2022
2022 Shots are in! These 4 x 50 Juarez expressions are perfectly tuned to jump right into the sweet spot, firing on all cylinders for targeted notes of earth, cocoa, pepper, nuts, wood, and fruit


Partagas Añejo
This year, Añejo gets a makeover! Known for using aged tobaccos, this special Partagas release combines a Cameroon wrapper from 1998 with a Connecticut shade wrapper from 2013 to create a barber pole blend that you won't soon forget. Underneath, a binder from the Dominican Republic with Dominican and Mexican filler tobaccos wait to greet you.


Crowned Heads Headley Grange Black Lab Vintage 2018
We were also able to secure some vintage Headley Grange Black Labs from 2018! These box-pressed beauties feature a Connecticut Habano wrapper with a closed foot for an amazingly chocolatey experience.


Caldwell The King is Dead Escape Plan
Escape Plan is an evolution of Caldwell's The King is Dead cigar, using Nicaraguan and Peruvian fillers (in addition to the standard Dominican tobaccos) to add body and complexity to the blend. Furthermore, Escape Plan features box-pressed vitolas for a completely different smoking experience.


Lampert 1675 Edicion Rojo
1675 Edición Rojo is again produced at Fabrica Agrotabacos just like Edición Azul, and features Nicaraguan tobaccos aged for four (4) years by the Ortez family to deliver a medium-bodied but full flavor Connecticut to Dr. Stefan Lampert's specifications.


Crowned Heads Four Kicks Mule Kick 2019
Our spree of vintage unicorns continues with the 2019 Mule Kick! The Mule Kick is a special release using the base blend of the Four Kicks, but with a darker Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper creating a bolder & fuller experience.



Viaje Leftovers Sampler
Looking for vintage Viaje as well as the latest Mother of All Bombs, Father of All Bombs, and Cloudmaker? This pack also includes the 2016 Juntos Belicoso, 2016 Juntos Toro Extra, and a Layer Cake from their Craft Series!

k

Graycliff Exclusives
Our Small Batch Exclusives with Graycliff are still produced in the Bahamas like the famed Graycliff of old! We are only able to import them in small batches, and have had the Black Prince and White Knight exclusives from the early 2000s with our brick and mortar Maxamar Ultimate Cigars

How about them Peacocks!
Crazy stuff. I guess it doesn't mess up the bracket much since we all have the same disadvantage. No one in my pool had them getting to the Sweet 16.

With all that said, it's been fun watching them play.
