Yah but Windsor in general has gone to hell

The Dolphins owner tried to lure Jim Harbaugh to coach. They are both UMichigan grads. Nothing came together, Ross is just a quirky dude that likes to meddle. He was insistent on "Tanking for Tua" and look how that has worked out, a $50+million/year contract still on the books and Tua is just a paperweight waiting to cash in. So John won't likely go there.

What a thing of beauty😍

J.C. Newman Celebrates Tampa Bay Lightning’s Jon Cooper January 14, 2026 - Press Release The Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated Jon Cooper’s 1,000th game as the team’s head coach. At the request of his assistant coaches, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. rolled 1,000 special cigars to commemorate the milestone. After the Lightning’s 4-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche, the team presented the cigars and a custom cigar humidor to Cooper. “We are very proud to be a partner and exclusive cigar maker of the Tampa Bay Lightning,” said fourth-generation owner Drew Newman. “As Tampa is ‘Cigar City,’ it is only fitting the coaches decided to celebrate Coop’s 1,000th game by lighting special Tampa Bay Lightning cigars.” Cooper is the fifth coach in NHL history to coach the same team for 1,000 games and is the longest tenured head coach in the NHL. An avid cigar enthusiast, Cooper told Cigar Aficionado that he began enjoying cigars when the team started winning championships. “I equated cigars to winning and I haven’t stopped,” he said. Hockey fans can light a cigar at J.C. Newman’s Diamond Crown Cigar Lounge inside the Lightning’s Benchmark Arena. A review by Cigar Aficionado noted that “the lounge is unique because it’s the only space in an NHL arena where you can smoke a cigar and watch all the hockey action at the same time.” Source: https://www.cigarjournal.com/j-c-newman-celebrates-tampa-bay-lightnings-jon-cooper/

Yes, E.P Carillo changed their name around eight months ago, in case you didn't know and now they're celebrating the new year by introducing a Limited Edition collection. Casa Carrillo Debuting Extremely Limited-Edition Collection New box with three blends will be given away for free to a small group of random winners Jan 14, 2026 - By David Savona Photos/Casa Carrillo Casa Carrillo is unveiling a new collector’s box that contains three limited-edition cigars made from blends that the company says will never be part of a normal release. The cigars won’t be sold, but will be given away free of charge to a small number of winners who can enter via the company’s social media outlets. Called Casa Carrillo Social Media Exclusive, the cigars come three to the box and feature a somewhat mysterious, bespectacled image of brand owner and master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo peering out over the logo. The company said that the cigars represent “the most exclusive expressions within the Casa Carrillo portfolio.” Each cigar has the same filler blend on paper, a combination of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. But they differ considerably in their wrappers and binders. Blend No. 1 combines a Connecticut Ecuador wrapper with a Connecticut broadleaf binder. The second blend has a Mexican wrapper and an Ecuador Habano binder. The third is made with an Ecuador Habano wrapper and a Mexican binder. Each cigar measures 6 inches long by 52 ring gauge. Two of them are parejos, while Blend No. 2 is a pirámide. Casa Carrillo says each of these blends are unique to its portfolio and will never be part of the company’s standard production. “They exist solely for this collector’s release,” the company confirms. The collector’s box will officially launch during a live digital event on January 26 at 5:30 PM EST on the Casa Carrillo YouTube channel. The first set of winners will be drawn that day, with one grand prize winner receiving five collector’s boxes (15 cigars total), and nine additional winners each getting two three-count boxes (six cigars total per winner). More chances to win will follow throughout the year. “We will hold social media and live events all year,” says Lissette Perez-Carrillo, “and more opportunities will be available to randomly win.” Source: https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/casa-carrillo-debuting-extremely-limited-edition-collection

Cigar Market Continues To Grow: Imports Rise 4.6 Percent For Third Quarter The Cigar Association of America reports continuing growth for the premium cigar market Jan 14, 2026 - By David Savona Handmade cigars continue to come into the United States at impressive quantities, and the latest import figures from the Cigar Association of America (CAA) show that the market is still growing. Imports for the first three quarters of 2025, released just a few hours ago, show a 4.6 percent increase, to 318.6 million cigars. Three countries account for more than 99 percent of those imports. The leader, Nicaragua, had a 2.1 percent increase over Q3 of 2024, to 190.4 million cigars. Shipments from the Dominican Republic grew even faster, by 3.8 percent, to 69.9 million, and Honduras, the No. 3 producer, had an impressive 14.8 percent gain, to 55.5 million cigars. The sharpest increase for 2025 came in March, which resulted in a 29 percent increase in the number of handmade cigars imported by the United States compared to the same month the previous year. That surge followed the announcement of the Trump administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which affected all cigar-producing countries. In 2024, the United States imported 430 million handmade, premium cigars, a small increase (up 0.9 percent) over 2023. Should the current trends remain when the final numbers are tallied, 2025 will end up as the fifth consecutive year where imports exceed 400 million cigars.

Montecristo as a Superhero? Yeah, mostly you want it to be like this... But too often it's like this, no?

SLR PC - My favorite marca in one of my favorite vitolas. Unsure of the year, but incredibly smooth brown sugar. Absolutely 0 spice on the retrohale. I must find more of these.

Congartulations, @KRunch61!

Monte Chris To!

You are in for a treat!

The Bolivar New Gold Medal? Look, I hate the new size (i.e. ring gauge increase), but it's a quality cigar, hands down. I bought up, and I wouldn't necessarily classify myself as a 'Bolivar' guy!

2011 La Escepcion Selectos Finos -- Never thought this is how I would start off the 2026 acquisitions. I really loved the Don Jose and heard the legends about the skinnier brother, so I had to hunt these down to see for myself.

I wonder if rollers are also cigar smokers and know when they roll something that can be problematic.
