But why does there need to be a solution? Why can there not be a Bald And Free Day to celebrate the chrome-dome, the cue-ball, the beautifully shaved scalp revealed in all its glory? Take heart! For such a day does truly exist, and it is, appropriately enough, Bald And Free Day, and it’s a day to toss aside all your head coverings and let the scalp breathe!History of Be Bald And Free DayBe Bald And Free Day is a celebration of the bald pate and the strength of the men and women who have dared to bare it all. Don’t think that being bald has always been a sign of weakness, after all when was the last time you thought of Bruce Willis or Sean Connery as ‘weak’. Instead these men are bald and yet symbols of virility. They’re part of a grand history as well, including such notable bald men as Mahatma Ghandi, the man who help to kick the British out of India without resorting to any form of violence.How about Mikhail Gorbachev? The Russian leader who helped bring down the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union, and put an end to the cold war. You better believe he rocked his bald pate to help change the world at large, in part by criticizing another man of equally hairless scalp, Vladimir Putin. Then there’s theman who arguably changed all of science with the concept of evolution, Charles Darwin. Correct, another man that utterly changed the world while baring his scalp to the world.But baldness isn’t a powerful thing simply for women, take a look at Sinead O’Connor and Britney Spears, a pair that some would consider it blasphemous to speak in the same breath. Sinead wore her hair as a rebellion against those who wanted her to take on a softer, more sexualized look to help further her career. Instead she went bald and severe to break the male fantasy of the music industry. Britney, in her greatest time of trial and tribulation, shaved her head in part as a way to reclaim herself from the musical machine. Powerful women indeed!Wow. It really is my day. I'll be sure to have dessert.There you go. Celebrate away Tony.

If so, what were the contents?Yes I did but did not check the contents beyond making sure there were 10 in each pak. Think they might be wrong?Yes, huge difference. In the picture they show at left a Tat Series P, which would fit with the pricing. The description however lists a Reserva SW churchill which by itself is a $12-13 cigarI will dig around and check them.Those were not up earlier this morning but I am pretty sure there was not a 7" long cigar in there.
