A Cigar Story. And All Hallows Eve
by coldwarrior ( 6 Comments › )Filed under Friday Cigar at November 1st, 2021 - 12:51 am
5 years ago i walked into a sushi bar…ok, it’s an opening for a great joke. It is.
That said, I sat down and looked over the menu and got my order together. The guy next to me was with his wife and they were just back from Central America, tanned in February. It was noon on a Wednesday. Since days of the week are a joke to me but the months aren’t, tanned? I looked like a ghost.
He had a box of unmarked cigars with him. As we were confined in the sushi area we started talking about travel and places we had been. He didn’t want a trade for one of his smokes. He gave me one out of the box. He said that he and his friends get a few hundred a year, every year from the same place in Honduras.
I let that cigar sit in my high end humidor for 5 years. I smoked it just now, well, it took 90 minutes. It was excellent. Almost like a Fuente Long Story….
enjoy your day
NCAA week 9 2021 OPEN

WOOOT! 2-0 last week. Big win for PITT at home! now: 23/29 $1800/$1000. 80% ROI…it was 90% with a low of 40%. If this were real money, i’d quit here too.
Started a brisket last night at 2000, its finishing in the oven and will be done around noon.
Let’s take a look at the games today.
#6 Michigan at #8 Michigan State 12:00 PM FOX: Are the Spartans legit? The battle for Michigan has M as a 4 point favorite. I think MSU can cover and it’s a party in Spartyland today!
Miami at #17 Pittsburgh 12:00 PM ACCN: YINZ SEE THIS???? My beloved Panthers are #17! They are 9 point favorites versus the criminal element from the U. Of course. if Miami were ranked this game would be on one of the networks, but, yet again, Miami was grossly overrated. 9 points? Pitt is coming off a YUGE win versus Clemson last week and won’t cover this week. I sure hope I’m wrong and Pitt blows out the criminal element.
#9 Iowa at Wisconsin 12:00 PM ESPN: Iowa is only a 3 point favorite??? The corn-fed Iowa Hawkeyes cover at Camp Randall.
#20 Penn State at #5 Ohio State 7:30 PM ABC: PSU’s quarterback is still injured but is staring. PSU is a 19.5 point dog. 19.5? yep, OSU covers while PSU continues to collapse.

2 weeks ago 3/4 now…21/27 $1600/$1000. 60% ROI…it was 90% with a low of 40%. No games were worth looking at last week and tornadoes….this week, not so many either, so let’s get to it:
Clemson at #23 Pittsburgh 3:30 PM ESPN: My beloved Panthers are 4 point dogs at home against an UN-RANKED Clemson Tigers. Pickett (QB, PITT) can very well be playing on Sunday when he is done in college. The kid is good. PITT covers at home.
USC at #13 Notre Dame 7:30 PM NBC: The Trojans stink. ND needs a big win here and are 7 point favorites. ND covers.
Slim pickings again this week.
