A Good Imagination and a Pile of Junk

That’s what they’re looking for…

Left Employing Sexist Tactics to Discredit Giles, O’Keefe?

The Left is seeking to employ sexism as a way to take down yet another young woman. A rationale after Ike Turner’s own heart! Leftist ideology replaces “barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” as the modern-day female prison; step out of line and you will be virtually and emotionally abused by the burdensome patriarchal undercurrent that powers this political rationale. They’re only for choice if that “choice” is the genocide of the female sex; they’re only for female empowerment if it doesn’t disrupt the fragile liberal status quo – and Giles is the most recent example.

What did you expect to find when you got here from your google search?

UPDATE: Yeah, it’s a dirty trick. But think about it, now I can track IP addresses of people who get here from web searches. Smile! You’re on candid camera.

As an ongoing project I’ve decided to start and maintain:

The List Of People Who Will Never Pay For Their Own Drinks If I’m In The Room (or TLOPWWNPFTODIIITR, for short.)

So far there are two:

Bill Whittle
Andrew Klavan

To be continued.

(And my first cigar review.)

I cracked in to the first cigar from my Thompson sampler today. For no particular reason I picked up the Corojo Cubano.

It’s definitely a mild smoke. I don’t quite have the cigar vocabulary for those overwrought descriptions. The flavor itself I can best describe as having a leather/woody taste.

Throughought the first third of the smoke I noticed myself overdrawing to try and get more flavor.

The middle third or so it really came to life. The flavor rounded out and was a little bit richer (still pretty mild.) I’m not sure how much of that was my palate acclimating to the stick and how much was a change in flavor itself. But it was very pleasant.

Towards the end the smoke seemed to disappear unless I blew through it to overheat it, which got me the smoke but resulted in overheating, leading to a pretty unpleasant few puffs. I tried letting it sit a bit, but I couldn’t find a happy medium, so I put it out at a little shy of 2 inches.

Verdict: I definitely like the cigar. It’s a bit mild for me in general. Glad I have 4 more of them. Definitely a good score for Thompson

Note: I subsequently saw a review someplace where someone referred to the Corojo Cubano as Thompson’s best house stick, so I may have started at the top. But I’m determined to not let that influence the others.

We’ll see.
