Saw this on the magazine rack. Like or hate. I don't care.

don’t indulge myself, but all my friends dads did back in the 70’s.
Losing Rush changed my mind about cigars. And we need DeSantis.
Lots of Cubans in Florida and they had a lot of cigar factories at one time.

Go for it, Ron.
A man with ambitions has to keep his name out there in the mind of the public. This is a benign way to that. It hurts no one. Playing the long game.
My son and I enjoy a nice cigar from time to time along with an adult beverage.
We keep a humidor with a nice selection on hand for the occasions.
I think I had that issue!
I still miss Rush.
Me too.
To each his own but tobacco in any form never did anything for me.
Nice!
I still have that issue somewhere! I gave most of mine away years ago. I haven’t had a cigar in years. I don’t anymore. Bummer….
Just a coincidence perhaps but I just happen to be reading his book right now. It’s “The Courage To Be Free”. Half way through. Written in 2023 so it has a Trump-centric feel to it that may not have been there earlier. He’s been there for the hurricanes, education, and covid(courage). I agree with everything he writes but can he inspire the air-headed women like the liars(BJ/Obama) do? He’s the nation’s best governor and we(+Trump) knows it. Governors make the best presidial candidates. JD’s place is on the SCOTUS while Marco should stay at state or be the El Presidente of Cuba. Is there deep state stuff in his closet? Give him a chance. We’re strong enough now to throw him out after one term if he doesn’t measure up. As I see it he’s earned it.
I’m in a weekly cigar and bourbon club. Always have great pairings.
Boss Spearman: I see they hobbled you.
Percy: It’s been a while since I was in a fight. I panicked. Fell back, like to have broke my foot.
Boss Spearman: Ornery old fool.
Percy: Well, or that damned Cuban cigar got me riled up.
It’s still a (kinda) free country, but choose wisely.
Swishers are still made in Jacksonville.
,,, ditto - my son's the winner; he has the humidor.
I like!😀
