Quai d'Orsay Capitolio - Circa 2023 (Thank you @Li Bai!)...

I mean have the refs ever, and I mean ever, been against the Patriots? As a Jets fan I can't even imagine such a scenario.

The profit potential is there to get many party members onboard.

Oh man the old power grid down in Texas and elsewhere could become a serious threat to folks.

Calling for anywhere from 2 inches to a foot in Cincinnati area. We live to the south so hoping for no ice. I fly for a prominent cargo company and they are already cancelling a bunch of stuff (I’m on an airliner as we speak headed home). I was in the Dallas area yesterday and people were buzzing about it. I’m off 'til Sunday night so hoping for some bourbon and a cigar somehow.

Agreed. I enjoyed him in Scream Queens, but putting out 2-3 flics a year is a guaranteed recipe to have one's career fall off a cliff. Cheers

Montecristo #2 and #5, specifically.

Upmann for me.

I had to cancel some travel plans just to be extra careful. I smoked an H Upmann Majestic and I'm smoking a Diplomatico No. 2 before it’s too cold!

Stopped at Arturo Fuente Jr.'s place in Ybor City this past week. He puts chairs out on the little porch. (I'd gotten there as he was just opening.) What a lovely little place to enjoy a cigar...

Charlie talked about this at length on the Consensus video. DP obviously also got hit, I don't think anyone came away unscathed. I don't believe it's a mistake, I don't believe it's AI-driven. This has been an ongoing strategy for years now from large media companies. We saw it with Reddit quite a while ago now, Charlie has talked about Google intentionally lowering cigar website and content search results. TikTok and Instagram has filtered out cigar content recommendations for quite some time. It's only going to get worse. Any time I've heard someone talk about only having a content stream on one platform, and how website or 'bloggers' are living in the past, I've pointed out that without a dedicated website platform you are vulnerable to the corporate whims of that platform.

For me, it's the best Bolivar in a long time. I think I have an open box currently, I have a few that are vacuum sealed. Not sure if it's fair gauge aging when I get to them. Vacuum sealing throws the normal aging cycle into the trash.

I drove on an icy road in Raleigh once. That is what it's like. I've heard the saying, "people in the South don't know how to drive in snow." That's BS. The roads are so slick, there is zero traction, regardless of skill.

I had a couple of cigars last night thinking it would be too cold for my window fan that I put in the living room.

I hope someone here will be able to top this 2014 pic from Raleigh, NC. Pretty cool knowing my state sparked some top tier memes.

FFOX Society blend. Incredibly good.

It is pretty crazy how warmer areas come to a complete stand still with cold weather / snow and other areas continue on like nothing has happened.

LOL, -12 in SW Tennessee and we literally shut down. Throw in a high probability for the "wintry mix" of sleet/snow and nobody leaves their house. The roads will be chaos since nobody here knows how to drive on a normal day, much less covered with the white stuff...

Depends on the Refs

-12 here. Nothing to show really. Just needed to put a coat on this morning to get the trash cans out to the curb. Roads are clear, heat's on, business as usual for us.

That's disappointing on the Condrieu. I have only a few bottles and seldom a reason to open. I am a big fan of Loire reds!

Arsenal win / 3 goals Patriots win / Under Seahawks win / 1-6 Tie Breaker - 5 sacks
