"Tastes okay, draw too tight, won't stay lit."
I got this cigar in a sampler. Taste is okay. Started out too spicy for me but quickly mellowed. The problem is the draw is much too stiff, and I can't keep it lit, even after piercing. Still, I'd smoke another one.
Eric in South Carolina December 8, 2011
"very nice"
definatly one of my favorite daily cigars for small money.......
Paul in mass. July 18, 2011
A solid performer for the price. Do well a little dry. Good daily cigar.
Mike in Alaska June 30, 2011
"Bad draw, bad taste."
They look fine. Maybe they need aging. The draw was very poor and couldn't be opened up. What taste there is is raw and metallic. Those characteristics were extremely consistent throughout the whole bundle!

First Bite: Ironside Docks In South Beach
If Ironside was a girlfriend, she'd be the kind that you really like a lot, that you enjoy spending time with, but who you aren't sure you are going to marry. Ironside is a good-time girl, and sometimes a good-time girl is exactly what you need. The month-old restaurant, opened by the owners of District around the corner, have created a place that speaks to these times. It's casual, it's affordable, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and the eclectic menu has a more refined version of the something-for-everything ethos. The second restaurant from the owners of District around the corner, Ironside shares District's aesthetic (a warehouse-y space with exposed brick and beams) but has the distinction of serving lunch—a big deal for the employees of our parent company, Chronicle Books, with whom Ironside shares a building.
I dined on the behest of the publicist, so in addition to the few dishes I ordered, the kitchen also sent out a handful of items. That meant that I got to try the tempura-fried avocado slices with jalapeño aïoli that I otherwise wouldn't have sampled on principal (fat plus fat plus fat)—they were surprisingly greaseless and crispy, vaguely reminiscent of a new-fangled sushi roll. The menu wanders all over the place—Mexican-inspired grilled corn-on-the-cob, served with instructions to cut it off the cob and mix it with the accompanying greens and carnitas "croutons" (my description); a giant slice of bronzed porchetta, set atop cannelini beans (unfortunately a bit oversalted); and, of course, pizza. "Pizza," noted chef Bob Cina resignedly, "accounts for 40% of our orders." Cina's version showcases a cracker-thin crust with a judicious application of toppings—the flammekuchen, his version of the famous Alsatian bacon-and-onion tart, is respectable, though a bit dry; other pizzas feature heftier toppings, like the one with house-made wild boar sausage and broccoli rabe that the server pronounced his favorite.
Cina, who was most recently the chef at District (and before that, Le Club) moved here from Boston a few years ago. As coincidence would have it, Cina and I are acquaintances from back in our East coast days, when he was the chef at Cambridge restaurant Chez Henri. Of all the things he served back in the day, the one that I remember—and the one that had a cult following—was his Cuban sandwich, an irresistible amalgam of roast pork, ham and cheese. I am happy to report that Cina has brought the recipe westward—it's now available on the lunch menu. Let the cult begin anew. 680 Second St., 415-896-1127, ironsidesf.com

Press Release #11-052
The St. Mary's College of Maryland special task force for the Governor's Cup yacht race has developed a series of recommendations to make the 2011 edition of the event more broadly appealing and more financially viable. Comprised of College personnel as well as Chesapeake Bay sailors, the task force considered a variety of changes to the structure of the race as well as the on-shore after-race party.
Significant changes include the introduction of a cruising class and starting slower classes first. In addition, a two-staged start will give slower boats a head start down the Bay toward the St. Mary's River. Slower classes (cruising, PHRF C/D, and PHRF B) will start beginning at 3 pm with a break before starting faster classes beginning at 6 pm.
US SAILING president and ESPN sailing commentator Gary Jobson, who is also a member of the College's Board of Trustees, participated on the task force. "I was pleased to participate on the College task force to help revitalize the Governor's Cup race," said Jobson. "The proposed changes should appeal to top-end racers as well as less competitive sailors who want to participate in this great tradition on the Chesapeake."
The on-shore event will be redesigned to bring together the regatta participants, volunteers and spectators for more of the shore-side activities. A larger variety of vendors than in past years will increase the culinary options. The increased variety of food throughout the day will replace the formal skipper's dinner, which was a ticketed event. Also, on-campus housing will be available for alumni to welcome them back to St. Mary's for this event.
"I am grateful to the task force members for answering the challenge to make Governor's Cup financially viable for the College," said President Joe Urgo. "As a result of their good work, we think we'll make the race more popular, and continue the tradition of competitive sailing from Annapolis to the banks of the St. Mary's River, at St. Mary's College of Maryland."
A more detailed description of changes is posted on the Governor's Cup web site.
Registration for the 2011 race will open later this spring.
St. Mary's College of Maryland, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best public liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. More than 2,000 students attend the college, nestled on the St. Mary's River in Southern Maryland.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Black Friday came a week early for a trio of high school football teams.
Bluefield, Richlands and Giles went on shopping trips of their own a week before the busiest shopping day of the year, and all returned without the prize, which was supposed to be a spot in the third round of the football postseasons in the two Virginias.
Those three teams were a combined 28-4 heading into Friday's games, but all returned in defeat.
Saturday was a little better. At least Honaker lived to play on. The Tigers avenged a playoff loss last season with a 42-14 whipping of Galax. The 'other' Tigers, Haysi, was sounded thrashed by Clintwood, which won the Division 1 state championship last season against the Maroon Tide.
Honaker will now play John I. Burton in the West Section, Division 1 semifinals next Saturday.
While the Tigers will continue on, it is time for all the other teams in the area to get out the basketballs.
That isn't a bad option for Bluefield, which returns Lykel Collier, Anthony Eades and Michael Yost, all of whom led the Beavers to the Class AA state championship game last season, falling to Tug Valley 58-52.
The same goes for the Richlands' girls team, which returns a strong nucleus of players who advanced to all the way to the state semifinals last season.
As for the gridiron, the Beavers regrouped from a 4-5 mark last season _ missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2001 _ and used a prolific offense to finish 9-3. That offense had helped hide some of the deficiencies on defense and special teams for Bluefield, but Robert C. Byrd exploited all three to surprise many observers with a 34-20 win.
Few gave Robert C. Byrd much hope, with most expecting the Beavers to get a rematch in the state semifinals with defending champion Wayne. The Eagles can read and hear too, and Mason Compton acknowledged his squad used that lack of respect as motivation, and it showed.
That's why the Eagles are playing on, and the Beavers are done.
Two other tradition-rich clubs saw their seasons come to an end as well, including Richlands, which finished 9-2, and Giles, which completed another stellar campaign at 10-2.
Richlands was the only one of the three to play its final game at home. The Blues were hampered by injuries and suspensions all season, but managed to win nine games, while Cave Spring played a brutal schedule and that experience paid off with an impressive showing against the Blues.
Ultra-successful Richlands head coach Greg Mance acknowledges that the Blues need to improve its schedule, and is trying to do just that. Among the additions for 2013 is the renewal of the rivalry with Bluefield, which is definitely a very nice Christmas gift for area football fans.
Perhaps the most surprising development on Friday was the loss by Giles. It's not necessarily that the Spartans lost to John Battle, but they were soundly beaten by the Trojans, which won their third playoff game in school history.
The Spartans had run all over everyone during their nine-game win streak, but the Trojans were prepared and shut down Giles' patented single wing attack.
I was prepared to visit Fort Chiswell next week to see the Spartans play in regional semifinals, but not now. The Trojans, who have been hampered by injuries in recent weeks, are in the midst of the best season in school history, and they're determined to keep it going.
Haysi had perhaps the biggest obstacle in front if it in Clintwood, but lost to the Greenwave for a second time this season to finish at 8-4.
Honaker (11-1), whose only loss this season has been to Richlands, continues to impress, and will host the Raiders on Saturday with a berth in the regional finals at stake.
Here is hoping Honaker can keep it going. I covered the Tigers in 2000 when Heath Miller quarterbacked the Tigers to the state title game, only to lose in the finals to King William. Miller is, of course, now a tight end with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and covering that one season is one of the highlights of my journalism career.
*With the high school football season now just about over, the Pocahontas Coal Association/Bluefield Daily Telegraph Player of the Year banquet is slated for Dec. 4 at the Princeton Elks Club.
Eleven players from the two Virginias were selected as the top players during the 11-week season, and all will be honored at the banquet that is so kindly sponsored by the Pocahontas Coal Association , with PCA President Rick Taylor serving as emcee of ceremonies.
The players to be honored include Spencer Sheets (Graham), Colton Staten (Richlands), Wayne Mutter (Grundy), Montel Leggett (Bluefield), Cody McCann (Tazewell), Teddy Hazzard (Mount View), Gray Baker (Richlands), Cody Hatfield (Graham), Jason Grose (Montcalm), Ian Mann (Giles) and Jordan Wilson (River View).
Each player will be recognized for their weekly award, and one athlete will earn player of the year honors. A coach of the year will also be chosen.
As is always the case, the choices each week this season were difficult and several worthy candidates didn't finish on top. There can only be one winner in each of the 11 weeks, it is never an easy choice. The same goes for the player of the year.
*Three of the four regional college football teams still have hopes at a bowl berth when the regular seasons ends in two weeks.
Virginia (4-7) saw its hopes end with a loss to North Carolina on Thursday night. Virginia Tech (5-6) was able to finally win on the road with an overtime victory at Boston College, and now must beat the Cavaliers for a ninth straight time on Saturday to secure a bowl berth for a 20th straight season.
The Cavaliers would like nothing better than to end those hopes for the Hokies.
Marshall (5-6) narrowly kept its bowl aspirations going as well, by barely beating Houston 44-41 on Saturday. Up next is a visit to East Carolina, which will be far from an easy task for the Herd. They might regret that loss at UAB.
Three local products contributed for Division I teams on Saturday. Richlands' product Devon Johnson had one reception for 11 yards and a tackle for Marshall, and fellow Blue Tornado alumni Austin Fuller had four receptions for 19 yards in Southern Methodist's 36-14 loss to Rice on Saturday. Cody Journell of Giles made three field goals and three extra point kicks in Virginia Tech's overtime win over Boston College.
West Virginia (5-5) dropped its fifth straight decision with a loss to Oklahoma, and must either win at Iowa State next week or against Kansas in the season finale. Get one of those and the Mountaineers will go bowling.
As for if a team with six wins deserves a bowl bid, that is an issue for another day.
If Virginia Tech and West Virginia finish 6-6, it's time to find a bowl to get those teams together. That would be fun for both sides.
With just Honaker left on the gridiron, the Daily Telegraph sports staff will turn its attention to basketball.
The BDT Bounce website will be up and running again this season for a second straight year. A basketball tab will also be published during the first full week of December.
There could be as many as 45 teams involved, counting boys and girls teams from 23 schools in the two Virginias.
One (football) season ends, another (basketball) season begins. That's just part of high school sports in the two Virginias.

text: There's never been a couple quite like you, which is why you won't settle for anything short of completely custom – completely YOU – when it comes to wedding invitations. From formal to fun, classy to sassy, you can easily design wedding invitations that match your theme, your colors and you! Browse our wide selection of professionally designed templates until you see something that resonates with who you are as a couple. Once you find it, take some time to play around with colors, design elements, typeface, text and placement. Save your design and come back to it a few times over the course of a week or two. You want it to be perfect, and when you see it with a fresh eye you'll know exactly when it's there. In our experience, it doesn't take the bride and groom long to figure out exactly what they want – at least with the easy, intuitive editor we've developed here at Mixbook. In keeping with etiquette, we don't offer any photo card options for wedding invitations because guests invited to a wedding want to feel like the greatest moment in your life as a couple is unfolding right before their eyes. Including a photo on the invitation would take away from the power of that experience. So stick with tradition when it comes to text and design-elements only, but take it away when it comes to customization. This is your big day, after all. Make it yours. Happy Mixbooking!

The Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy and resulting low interest rates have pushed many investors to shift their asset base to riskier investments. This is evident from the heavy inflow of assets in equities in 2013. As a result, most of the equities have moved higher only to break records or reach new highs.
This increased focus of investors in risky assets also bears testimony to the recent rally on Wall Street. The month of March has been pretty good for the U.S. stock market as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, experienced a ten day winning streak, the first time such a streak has taken place in decades.
Furthermore, the broad S&P 500, as represented by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY - ETF report), also was moving higher and is now just a few points below its Oct 9, 2007 peak (3 Foreign ETFs Still Beating the S&P 500). This kind of stock price movement is pretty rare in the history of Wall Street, and has signaled to many that a new bull market is underway.
A Glimpse on Valuation
However, in an attempt to go higher and reach above the all-time highs, the valuation of the S&P 500 has resultantly crept higher. The P/E ratio of S&P 500 currently stands at 16.25 (Forget SPY, Focus on Mid and Small Cap ETFs).
On the contrary, investors should note that two sectors that started the year on a strong note and still continue to reward investors with huge gains have cheaper valuations as compared to the broader market index.
Financials and energy are the two sectors that have not only provided investors with a handful of profits but are also pretty inexpensive compared to other industries.
In particular, Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF - ETF report) and Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE - ETF report) have both performed remarkably well since the start of the year and continue to deliver strong gains.
In fact, both ETFs have beaten the S&P 500 in terms of year-to-date gains. While S&P 500 has gained 9.43% in the year-to-date period, XLF returns stand at 12.57% while XLE has returned 11.45%.
Indeed it is not just the multi-year gains which are attracting investors towards XLF and XLE. These sectors are also two that have relatively modest valuations that are attracting investments. Both XLE and XLF appear to be cheap relative to the broader U.S. market as indicated by their respective P/E ratios (Time to bank on Regional Bank ETFs).
XLF highlights the low valuation of financial stocks and has a P/E ratio of 12.36, while XLE provides exposure to energy stocks has a P/E of 12.89.
A Quick Look at the Financial Sector ETF
XLF was one of the best performing ETFs in 2012 attributable to the strong performance of banking stocks in the last one-year period. The ETF started the year on a strong note further fueled by strong earnings posted by most of the U.S. banks (Banking ETFs 101).
Progress seen in the past one year gives a clear growth indication for the U.S. banking sector. Besides contraction in provisions for credit losses and cost containment, a marked recovery in the equity markets and consequent revenue growth led most of the banks to report higher-than-expected earnings. Expanding consumer credit and overall improvement in lending activity made it easy for the banks to sustain the improvement.
In fact, U.S. banks are poised for further growth in 2013 with uninterrupted expense control, sound balance sheets, an uptick in mortgage activity and lesser credit loss provisions.
Moreover, a favorable equity and asset market backdrop, progressive housing sector and an accommodative monetary policy are expected to make the road to growth smoother (Homebuilder ETFs: Can the Rally Continue?).
However, it should also be noted that though improved economic data such as higher consumer spending and gross domestic product (GDP), improving housing market and a declining unemployment rate point towards optimism, a paltry interest-rate environment is disturbing for the sector.
In such a scenario, an investment in XLF seems prudent with financial stocks exhibiting cheaper valuations. XLF is one of the popular ETFs tracking the financial sector and has been in the limelight attributable to its remarkable performance. The ETF is continuously trying to break out from its highs post-crisis.
The fund manages an asset base of $7.6 billion and trades at volume levels of more than 49 million shares a day.
XLF is home to 83 financial stocks with JPMorgan Chase, Berkshire Hathaway and Wells Fargo comprising the top three holdings with asset allocation of 8.64%, 8.46% and 8.07%, respectively. The fund charges a fee of 18 basis points.
Time for an Energy Sector ETF?
While the growth momentum is likely to sustain in the financial sector in 2013, the energy sector also appears to be well poised for 2013. When 2012 turned out to be the worst hit for energy-based ETFs due to a sluggish oil market, a rebound in energy prices in the second half gave some life to energy ETFs (Time to Buy Energy ETFs?).
Moreover the recovery continued into 2013 with the sector posting huge gains to date. This may be due to mounting oil prices. A remarkable rise in oil production in the U.S. once again lured the global energy firms to the U.S. market. And it appears that the current boom in oil production should continue which should further strengthen energy ETFs going forward.
So a sector with strong fundamentals and cheaper valuations make an ideal area for investment this year. In this context, XLE is one of the more popular ways to tap the energy sector.
Given the current boom in oil prices and the bullish trend in oil production in the U.S., this ETF represents an effective way to capitalize on this strength as oil companies play a substantial role in the performance of the fund (5 Sector ETFs Surging to Start 2013).
Oil Gas & Consumables Fuels companies form 79.13% of the ETF portfolio while the rest goes to energy equipment & services. The high level of concentration in the oil sector companies has been a boon for the fund at this point of time.
The fund is home to 45 stocks in which it invests an asset base of $7.6 billion. The fund appears to be highly concentrated as it is 60.9% dependent on the top ten holdings for its performance. In fact, two oil giants Exxon and Chevron take away nearly 32% of the asset base. The fund charges a fee of 18 basis points annually.

The tonalpohualli Nahuatl pronunciation: [toːnaɬpoːˈwalːi], a Nahuatl word meaning "count of days", is a 260-day sacred period (often termed a "year") in use in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, especially among the Aztecs. This calendrical period is neither solar nor lunar, but rather consists of 20 trecena, or 13-day periods. Each trecena is dedicated to and under the auspices of a different deity.
In part due to the sheer antiquity of the tonalpohualli, its origin is unknown. Several theories have been advanced for this unique calendrical period: that it represents a Venusian cycle, that it represents the human gestation period, or that it represents the number of days when the sun is not overhead between August 12 and April 30 in the tropical lowlands. On the other hand, some scholars including J. E. S. Thompson suggest that the tonalpohualli was not based on natural phenomenon at all, but rather on the integers 13 and 20, both considered important numbers in Mesoamerica.
The other major Aztec calendar, the xiuhpohualli, is a solar calendar, based on 18 months of 20 days. A xiuhpohualli was designated by the name of its first tonalpohualli day. For example, Hernán Cortés met Moctezuma II on the day 8 Wind in the year 1 Reed[citation needed] (or November 8, 1519 in the Julian calendar).
The xiuhpohualli and the tonalpohualli would coincide every 52 years. The "year" 1 Reed was the 1st in that 52 year cycle.[citation needed]
Day signs[edit]
In the Aztec calendar, there are twenty day signs.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," from left, Camille Grammer, Adrienne Maloof, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Taylor Armstrong have a heart-to-heart this week.
It was a heavy night for the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" as the show set about tackling the breakdown of Taylor and Russell Armstrong's marriage, with no happy ending in sight. After all, we know this one's going to end badly. (The couple split in July and Russell killed himself in August.)
But first, a couple of lighter moments thanks to the couple that loves to take digs at each other: Adrienne Maloof and her birthday-celebrating hubby, Paul Nassif. And Kyle Richards gives an illuminating explanation on how to deal with people you don't like. Seriously, Miss Manners should be taking notes....
RELATED: "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Recap: Kim Shacks Up While Kyle Cries
Kyle's meeting with Kim's new BF "backroads" Ken could not have been more awkward. Especially when she spies a ring on Ken's finger. Not that Ken and Kim Richards have eloped. It's a promise band, according to the (new-ish) couple.
"I think that went well," says Ken as Kyle sobs in the kitchen. Interpersonal skills may not be his strong suit. Especially after he asks for a hug from Kim's teary-eyed sister. Body language experts could have a field day with the one-handed shoulder pat Kyle gives Ken. The moment had less feeling than a Rodeo Drive air-kiss.
MORE: Has Taylor Armstrong Been Booted From Next Season's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?!"
But it all makes sense once Kyle explains how mama Richards trained them: "When we were teenagers and we'd bring home a boyfriend that we liked, if my mom didn't like them she just didn't acknowledge them so that's what I'm going to have to do, it's the only way I know."
Better bundle up, Ken. You're about to get iced out.
Things aren't much cuddlier at Paul's birthday dinner with Adrienne at Crustacean. But we're hoping this is just a coping mechanism for the cute-but-constantly-bickering couple.

"Marriage, it's work. You have to hold your tongue," says Adrienne in between eye rolls and deep sighs as Paul talks tiger prawns with the waiter and tries to convince his wife he should order the crab dish for her. It's your party, birthday boy.
There's no question Taylor is calling the shots at a Women in Business luncheon by excluding Lisa Vanderpump (and Brandi Glanville but nobody seems to be acknowledging her existence. Kyle must be rubbing off).
And the diss sparks the mother of all confrontations at Lisa's tea party the next day.
MORE: "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Recap: "There's a Lot of Cleavage Here!"
Side note: Lisa earns her nickname, Pinky, at the tea party she claims she just threw together. There's Rosie the maid, dressed in a pink smock, pink Perrier-Jout champagne, pink petit fours and sugar cookies and even a pink stroller for Giggy. It's giddy, girlie heaven.
It's too bad, then, that the rosy glow doesn't extend to group gathered for tea. Taylor shows no remorse for excluding Lisa from her luncheon and then proceeds to rip the Brit to shreds for talking behind Taylor's back, for her sarcasm, for using a picture of herself with Giggy as a screensaver. (It's Beverly Hills. Who doesn't have an ego?) And the list goes on.
MORE: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: "You Can't Fight With Crazy"
Taylor's tagline this season is "I finally found my voice, and I'm not afraid to use it." We just assumed she was talking about confronting Russell, not one of the other Housewives.
But Taylor seems convinced this is the setting to take Lisa down a few notches and asks the other ladies to jump in -- forcing Kyle to admit she's complained about Lisa's giant ego. Still, Taylor's spinning out of control and nobody wants to go down with her. "Chickens," clucks Taylor, not realizing she's about to get grilled.
MORE: The Lighter Side of Plastic Surgery on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"
Camille Grammer's been quietly diplomatic this season. That's over. Suddenly her nostrils are flaring and her eyes are bulging as she warns Taylor to be careful because "We don't say that he hits you. Because we don't say that he broke your jaw or beat you up and he hits you. We don't say that, but now we've said it."
PHOTOS: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Maybe Camille was just angry about being dragged into the confrontation with Lisa, but do you think it was the time or the place to share details of Taylor's alleged domestic abuse or would it be worse if she kept quiet? Share your thoughts on the Clicker's Facebook page.
