Heidi Klum has so far been successful in passing down strong sense of style to her children.
"We have a rule in the house," the supermodel recently told reporters during a conference call. "Rule No. 1 is always to look cool, and rule No. 2 is don't forget about rule No. 1. We have other rules ... but the No. 1 rule is to always look cool."
Of her four kids – Leni, 8, Henry, 6½, Johan, 5½, and Lou, 2½ – the first two take the rule "very seriously," Klum says. "Henry changes clothes 10 times a day and he wants to be very cool. I mean, he would wear a T-shirt and then he will wear a tie just around his neck, knotted, and then a belt over the shirt."
Adds the Project Runway judge, "He [has] very unusual ways of dressing where I'm like, 'Really? You want to put the belt over your T-shirt and the tie around your neck?' And he's like, 'Yes, mom. I'm cool.' "
As for her own style, Klum takes cues from her show's season four winner, Christian Siriano.
"Last season for the Emmys, I wore a Christian Siriano [design], and I'm proud to wear his clothes," she replied when asked which designer she'd wear on a red carpet right now. "He worked to the last second to make it special and I love that about him. I've worn many of his outfits over the seasons."
Gearing up for Thursday's season 10 premiere at 9/8c on Lifetime, Klum hints that there will be challenges involving making clothes out of candy and out of car parts.

Just as you're about to mercilessly dog your cum in her, you yell out "Who's the maverick?" She may be mute with confusion or respond, "I am". Then you donkey punch her, pull out and while squirting all over her ass you proclaim "No! I'm the maverick!"

According to a release sent by the Illinois State Police, on May 16 at approximately 5:55 a.m. a semi-truck tanker combination was traveling west on Interstate 80 west bound in the vicinity of Mile Marker 29.
According to witnesses the semi-truck was traveling in the left lane, crossed to the right lane, continued through the right shoulder and rolled in the North ditch.
The driver was transported from the scene with non-life threatening injuries to Hammond Henry Hospital. A small chemical spill occurred from the tanker. Hazardous Material Teams have responded to the scene for clean-up. There is no immediate public health risk due to the spill.
I-80 is currently shut down between Atkinson and Annawan. All traffic is being diverted to US 6. It is strongly recommended for local traffic to find alternate routes.
Delays are expected for the foreseeable future. The shut-down of Interstate 80 is anticipated to continue through most of today.

The tenth meeting of the Research and Experimentation for Local and International First Responders (RELIEF) experiments took place from 29 Feb – 2 March at Camp Roberts in Paso Robles, CA. Over 70 people from 21 organizations in the disaster response community participated in 11 planned experiments.
Because the structure of RELIEF allowed for ad hoc experiments, participants created 5 unplanned experiments that tested the interoperability of their platforms.
The ninth meeting of the Research and Experimentation for Local and International First Responders (RELIEF) experiments took place from 2-5 November 2011 at Camp Roberts in Paso Robles, CA. Over 40 people from 17 organizations in the disaster response community participated in 10 planned experiments. Most work centered on a core problem in humanitarian assistance/disaster response operations: how to fuse data collected from crowdsourcing, maps, and sensors into a sense of shared situational awareness across organizations.
This site supports the exchange of ideas within the community of thinker that participate in the RELIEF experiments at Camp Roberts. The official government RELIEF site can be found here. This site is not affiliated with the California National Guard, U.S. Navy, or Naval Postgraduate School.

Camp Roberts Humanitarian Experiments fosters increased interoperability between humanitarian technologies. It's formal name is RELIEF (Research and Experimentation for Local and International First-Responders). However, because our community convenes at Camp Roberts in the central coast of California, the community of researchers around the activity has made it common use to refer to the experiments by location rather than use of the official acronym. That said, our experimentation has no affiliation with the base beyond being a very, very grateful guest. Camp Roberts is convened through a partnership between the Naval Postgraduate School and the National Defense University's TIDES program (Transformative Innovation for Development and Emergency Support). This research project is coordinated at the Center for Technology and National Security Policy (CTNSP) at the National Defense University (NDU), which is part of the Department of Defense.

Brubeck, whose music helped define the style of West Coast Jazz in the '50s, is best known for the 1959 classic "Take 5," which was written by collaborator Paul Desmond and featured on the album Time Out. To date, it remains one of the top-selling jazz records of all time.
Brubeck wasn't just a music icon – he was also a patriot. Born in California in 1920, he was drafted into the army to serve in Europe during World War II. Upon returning home in 1946, music teacher Darius Milhaud encouraged him to pursue music.
"He told me if I didn't stick to jazz, I'd be working out of my own field and not taking advantage of my American heritage," Brubeck told TIME in a 1954 cover story.
That heritage was cemented in 2009, when Brubeck was inducted as a Kennedy Center Honoree for his lifetime of contributions to American culture – one of the nation's most esteemed honors.
Of his love for music, Brubeck told TIME, "When I get inspired, I'm the happiest guy in the world."
Brubeck is survived by his wife Iola, sons Darius, Dan, Chris, and Matthew, daughter Cathy, and two generations of grandchildren.

TENNERTON - Buckhannon-Upshur's girls continued their late season improvement Wednesday night, rallying from an 11-point halftime deficit to defeat Liberty 55-48 in a Big 10 Conference encounter.
Riding a second-half defensive shutdown of Liberty star Heather Hickman, the Lady Bucs consummated the comeback in exciting fashion.
Early on, Hickman was the show. The entire show.
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain photo by Andrew Ferguson
Buckhannon-Upshur's Kelsey Hinzman scores two of her team-high 22 points during the Lady Bucs' 55-48 victory over Liberty Wednesday night in Tennerton.
Drilling 22 points over the first two quarters, Hickman outscored the Lady Bucs in the first half, as Liberty had a 29-18 lead at intermission.
This led B-U head coach Tristan Gray and his staff to take action.
"She had to be the focus of our adjustments," Gray said. "We chose Alexis McDaniels to guard Hickman and she did an amazing job sticking to her. We had some offensive stars tonight, but Alexis was the star of this game for that defensive effort on a great player in the second half."
B-U opened the second half with 13-0 run in the first 3 minutes, turning the tide for a 31-29 lead. Liberty never lead again, but it briefly tied the game 39-39 in the first minute of the fourth quarter. B-U responded with a 5-0 run for a 44-39 lead that it never relinquished.
With McDaniels locking down Hickman, who scored only two field goals in the second half, Jessica Feronti was clogging the Liberty passing lanes, and the duo of Kelsey Hinzman and Megan Wilfong were spearheading the Buc offense. Feronti closed the night with nine steals and nine points. Hinzman posted a team-high 22 points, with Wilfong scoring 13 while pulling down a team-high 11 rebounds.
Hickman ended the evening with 27 points and nine rebounds, while teammate Abbie Smith also just missed a double-double with 10 points and nine assists.
B-U improves to 3-14 with the win and will host Grafton at 7:30 p.m. Friday for a league game.
Liberty dropped to 4-12 on the season.

No Thunderbirds, no air show
If sequestration cancels Thunderbirds' season, scheduled Thunder Over the Blue Ridge event will be canceled as well
February 27, 2013
MARTINSBURG — If the U.S....
GOOD, it should have been cancelled long ago. Don't use my tax dollars for your enjoyment when we have people going hungry in this country and the elderly can't get decent health care. Get your priorities straight.

Actually it is more than a 2% cut because many areas of spending were put "off-limits". So, of the programs that get hit, it's more like 8% or 10% of their current budget. Unfortunately, most of these cuts are not really hitting the wasteful areas of Federal Government.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
NHF: from what I understand you are correct. This 2% "cut" is really a reduction to 7%, from 9%, in the increase in federal spending for this fiscal year.
It's like your boss telling you that your pay raise is only going to be 7% this year when you were counting on a 9% increase.

I don't buy into the fear that the libs are spreading regarding sequestration. I'd rather them cancel the show, then put more on the credit card. If we don't have it, we don't spend it. Why is it too much to demand that from congress? Obviously, Majoritarian and I wisely haven't drank the coolaid.

Is it true that the impending "cuts" are not reductions from last year's spending, but are in fact merely reductions in the amount of INCREASED spending that would occur this year? If so, then boo hoo. I guess every year my salary only increases 3% instead of the 10% I wanted, I am the victim of unreasonable pay cuts.

Maybe we can do away with the military altogether. Or how about federal law enforcement. It will save trillions. Lets go for anarchy by corporate decree.

Blabias are what you get when a girl or guy has had so much anal sex that the butt hole is so loose it looks like there are labias there.
That girl has been railed so many times in the butt she has formed blabias.

Man reveals ignorance on use of birth control
After reading the narrow-minded letter about insurance coverage with contraception, I am offended that it was written by a man, who can never relate to a woman's reproductive system. His views are clearly written with a one-track mind.
I wonder if the writer inquired about the benefits of contraception. His theory is that insurance companies shouldn't pay for "an optional activity" and women should pay for it themselves. Does he realize that more than 1 million women use the pill for non-contraceptive uses? For instance: polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia are all medical conditions commonly treated with oral contraceptives. The list continues, and can also affect children under 18.
The big debate about contraception doesn't necessarily mean co-pay free. Rarely are any medications covered by insurance companies in full. He suggests that the majority who need contraception can afford it themselves. Where is the writer getting his information from? He proposes if someone can't afford it, then to go to an agency where it can be obtained for free. Nothing is free. Someone ends up paying for it; including unwanted pregnancies.
Clearly the writer has a distorted view that contraception is only for a women's benefit. Its need and uses can affect a whole family. I suggest he take the time to research and read on topics before writing an unsympathetic letter without evidence to support his theories.

Fallout 3 Review
Fallout 3 is packed with interesting places, with choices to make, with that nebulous sense of adventure you only find in the best RPGs. And after a long wait, it's finally here.
The past 10 days have been very busy for me. I've broken into countless military bases, taken vast quantities of drugs, and have shot several hundred people in the head. I've stolen the Declaration of Independence. I've moonlighted as a contract killer. I've helped to run a warped presidential election. I've even gotten really sick after drinking from a toilet bowl. But enough about my holiday trip to Skegness - let's talk about one of the biggest releases of 2008.
Fallout 3 is a massive, massive game. This magnitude exists on a number of levels: for a start, there's the game world itself - a scarred post-nuclear Washington, packed with decrepit survivors, mutant beasties and marauding raiders. Then there's the enormous degree of change since the last game - a shift of developer and a move into full 3D graphics. There's the huge degree of anticipation, both from enthusiastic newcomers and from the more sceptical Fallout hardcore. It's probably due to a combination of all these factors, but for whatever reason Fallout 3 feels like the biggest game I've played all year - so much so that I've already run out of synonyms for the word 'big'. And despite a number of flaws, it's also one of the best games of the year too.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, here's a quick recap of the backstory to the Fallout universe: In the year 2077, World War III turns most of the Earth into a giant nuclear ashtray. A small percentage of the US population survive the conflict by fleeing into Vaults - giant underground shelters built by the VaultTec corporation. The first Fallout placed you in the skin of a jumpsuited resident of Vault 13; when your water purification chip breaks, you are chosen to set out in pursuit of a new one - braving the wasteland of post-apocalypse California. After a remarkably downbeat ending to your adventures, your Vault Dwellers set off to found a small village of their own. Fallout 2 cast you as a grandchild to the first protagonist, offering a much larger play area and a greater variety of distractions from your quest to find a GECK - a powerful piece of technology with the power to save your dying tribe.
Fallout 3, set some 36 years after its predecessor, shifts its focus to the East coast of America - to the claustrophobic confines of Vault 101. The game begins with your birth, generating your character's gender, name and appearance. After this you'll spend about 20 minutes speeding through your childhood and adolescence via a neat quest designed to introduce most of the game's key concepts and mechanics - including the much-discussed VATS combat system. At the end of this brief introduction your rebellious father disappears; his sudden departure enrages the vault authorities and causes a minor riot - leaving you with no choice but to follow him. You emerge from the underground, your vision blurring under a sun you have never seen before - and then you set out across the Washington wastelands.
What follows is really up to you - in the short term, at least. You'll be given a pointer about where to look for your Dad first, but the world is more or less your oyster. Since this is an RPG, your main priority should be to get some experience and to start levelling up. The area immediately surrounding Vault 101 isn't too lethal, but if you immediately head to the far corners of the map you'll swiftly find yourself in trouble. Bethesda has largely abandoned the mechanic used in Oblivion which scaled random enemies to match your capabilities - so if you go wandering off into a dangerous area, you're bound to come a cropper. As a result of this design choice, the wasteland immediately feels a threatening place - something further compounded by the devastated scenery that surrounds you in every direction, thanks to a rather spiffy draw distance.
As you might imagine, the thermonuclear apocalypse has had a detrimental effect upon public transport - so you'll be doing all your exploration on foot. In all likelihood, you'll be viewing proceedings from a first person perspective - a third-person option does exist, but most people are likely to get fed up with the slightly floaty way your hero moves. Either way, you'll soon find that the landscape itself is the star of the show. Bethesda have done an amazing job in creating a ruined environment: from burnt-out towns and twisted highways to the looming metropolis of downtown DC, the in-game scenery drips with a tragic, ruined atmosphere. This is probably just as well, since it takes a fairly long time to walk from point A to point B. On the plus side, once you've discovered a given location, you'll be able to instantly fast-travel back there at any point you wish. To be honest, I was initially fairly uncertain about whether or not I thought this was a good idea: It's certainly a convenient feature, but its not a particularly realistic one - and for a while I was concerned that it would dilute the dangerous atmosphere of the wasteland itself.

Pregnancy has already taught me so much about life, about human mankind (thank you to the kind ladies at Starbucks that always gawk over my belly and tell me how little I am when I'm feeling the size of a whale) and about life in general. I've learned so much I could probably write a whole book on the topic by now. I was recently asked to do a little interview for another blog last week and one of the questions that was asked of me was
"What is one thing that has surprised you about pregnancy?"
My first response and thought was immediately heartburn! Holy cow, heartburn? Why did no one really tell me about this. Well, actually my friend Heidi did, thank you Heidi. But I really didn't hear much about it and I guess I figured it wouldn't happen to me... surprise. It comes on like a tidal wave, sweeps over me, and doesn't leave until I've engorged myself in a generous helping of peppermint Tums. Rumor has it that heartburn = a baby with a lot of hair and that's fine by me (if it's even true) because this little lady has quite the adorable stash already of hair clips, bows and headbands thanks to friends like Ruthie, Casey and Illene, just to name a few.
If I was completely honest with the before mentioned question, another thing I should probably add to the list is that I had no idea I would be so hot-tempered during pregnancy. We all know that pregnancy brings on hormones, and since I'm carrying a girl, I'm sure I'm given an extra helping of those since I get hers too?! ;)
Just keeping it real here... I recently read THIS post about transparency that struck a chord with me and I always want to be real here on this blog.
One of the things that has been really hard lately is truly being genuinely happy for those that are difficult to love/I feel like don't deserve it.
Like I said, just keeping it real here.
Over the years, Joshua and I dealt with so much crap. He lost his job, we moved in with my in-laws, we dealt with a job hiring process that took over 2 years, and a butt-load of stuff in between. During those times, we watched friends succeed in life and it was hard for us. Friends bought houses, friends had babies and friends got promotions and seemed to be having it all. We had nothing. But you know what? We tried to be happy for them and God really, supernaturally, I swear-- gave us so much grace and fueled us with happiness for them. Even though it was hard for us. We knew, in the back burners of our minds, that we would get there one day, too. Joshua would always tell me, "Heather, one day I'm going to buy you a house, I want you to be a stay-at-home mom, we're going to get a puppy, and you're going to get a new car."
It was hard to believe, but it's happened.
God has been so good, and so faithful.
But since it's now our turn, it often times stings that sometimes we can barely get a congrats or a hello or a "we're so happy for you" from some people. You, only naturally, have expectations that those people would care, right? It stings that old friends follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and can't even say congrats about our baby or when we found out she was a girl, or heck, even "like" a comment or picture. It doesn't take a lot. I know they're using social media-- they're just infamous "lurkers."
It's hard for me to be happy for people who are now pregnant and who couldn't be happy for me. Who I know, unfortunately, were seething with jealously and bitterness when I found out I was pregnant. It takes every ounce of energy in me to be a good friend and rise about how I "feel." It's the right thing to do, and I do it, but it's hard to congratulate them or wish them happiness when they couldn't do it for me (or did it to my face and yet I know first hand that they were talking bitterly about me behind my back).
I'm sorry for the dump here, but these are just thoughts running through my mind. I go back and forth between sharing too much and sharing too little, but the bottom line is that this is my blog and it's a journal of sorts. I'm just super duper blessed with people that actually care to read about my thoughts and feelings and I'm so thankful for that.
The point in writing this all,
is that I just want to say that my life really isn't about me and about how I feel about anything.
If I chose to sit around and focus on what people are or are not doing I would go crazy.
I wanted to share about what God's been doing in my life and yet how He's trying to shape, mold, and grow me.
This is because the last 4 Sunday's at church have been all about thriving and it's hit me hard.
It's taught me to find beauty in these, yes, even annoying life incidences.
At church, we've been going through a series called "Thrive" and it's been absolutely amazing! One of the questions directed at us yesterday was, "Are you helping others to thrive or merely to survive?" I thought a lot about it and I don't want to be help back by anger or bitterness and not help others thrive because I feel like they haven't been there for me when I thought they should. I need to rise about myself and do it because
loving others is what Jesus has called me to do, whether I feel like it or not, or whether I feel they are deserving of it.
Matthew 22:37-40
Love God, love people.
Romans 12:9-21
"Be happy with those who are happy."
Never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God.
How do we help others thrive?
Speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15)
Empty YOUR cup (1 Tim 1:1-2)
Thanks for letting me share my thoughts and feelings with you all today.
Praying that God continues to fill me with grace and love for others.
Do you find this hard to do, too?
I'd love to hear your thoughts! xo

PITTSBURGH - To demonstrate how a parity-crazed NFL can derail expectations, look no further than this afternoon's showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ravens in Baltimore.
This looked like it would be a pivotal point, the second matchup of AFC North powers in three weeks. For the Steelers, the candy center in that hard Baltimore shell was last week's visit to Cleveland.
But the Steelers fumbled that one away, which rendered today's game a lot less important than it should have been. The Steelers have pretty much surrendered the division, but they're still in reasonable position to grab a wild card spot.
There are four games after today. Three are at home, and they would all appear to be against beatable teams, if such a thing exists in a season where the Steelers have lost to Oakland, Tennessee and Cleveland. The NFL has a few dominant teams and a few awful ones. Everyone else is in the middle, and the Steelers are stuck in that cluster.
Catching up
The Pirates' two-year, $17 million investment in free agent catcher Russell Martin suggests two things: They will spend money to fill a specific need, and they don't seem to have much confidence in former No. 1 draft pick Tony Sanchez.
If Sanchez's career had followed a normal arc, he would have been in Pittsburgh last season. Instead, the Pirates spent $4 million on Rod Barajas, and Sanchez started the year with the Curve.
If there was an expectation Sanchez could step in this season and claim part of the job, they wouldn't have gone so big for Martin. They've now spent $21 million on catchers who aren't Sanchez.
Add in the $2.5 million signing bonus Sanchez got in 2009, and this is getting expensive.
Overseas adventure?
The NHL has invited locked out players to meet with the owners without union leader Donald Fehr present.
That sounds like a divide-and-conquer strategy the players would be wise to avoid. Meanwhile, with 30 percent of the season wiped out and no end in sight, Sidney Crosby is said to be contemplating playing overseas.
That ought to send some shudders through the Pittsburgh Penguins' offices. The Pens have a lot of money and most of their future invested in Crosby. They should be frightened at the idea of his playing somewhere else.

Great tasting mild cigar. Awesome price also.
Love them! Highly recommend for your everyday smoke. Great flavor, good burn, good draw, always a consistent dependable smoke for me. Great cigar!
One of the smoothest smokes so far. Although I am new to this, this stick was extremely smooth, and creamy. This will be on my list from now on.
I find these cigars very pleasing for the price and just received an order containing another bundle of 20. I'll always find room in my humidor for these cigars.
In my book the best quality vs price cigar out there bar none, I have smoked the classic Quorum for years with a Shade mixed in every now and again for good measure. You simply can't find another cigar at this price point (I buy the corona size) with construction and smokeability this good. Frankly I still can't figure out how JC Newman does it. Buy the Shades if you prefer a milder flavored/bodied stick or the Classic if you like a little more umph. Neither one will disappoint for money spent.
This is one of the more impressive sub $25.00 bundles I've ever had. They're not super exquisite in the taste dept, but they're not bad either. They're fairly medium bodied and they always burn perfect. However, the thing that impresses me most about Quorum is the construction. Nice looking wrapper and they're a bit squared off on the end/foot. If you have to go below $29.99 and want a reliable handmade, then buy these.
I am new to cigars and Quorum was recommended to me by a cigar store owner. I purchased a bundle of 20 (5.5" x 43) for $22.99 + shipping $5.99 and they arrived 4 days later in good shape. I put them in my homemade humidor (which ranges from 65% to 70% humidity and 70 degrees) for a couple of weeks. Just enjoyed the first one this weekend and it was relaxing. The flavors were nice and burned evenly and lasted about 30 minutes. I will order from CI again and may come back to the Quorum again after trying some others.
I usually buy these Quorum cigars at the shop I go to for 2.99 a stick and I got 20 here for only 30.00. That is just about half price, except for the shipping cost. I have no complaints about this deal.
Cheap, straight fwd, hands down one of the best bargain quickies in the negative weather; too cold for gordos! Def fav cheap guy and nice handout without looking like a cheap bastid :)
High quality and great flavor without the high cost per stick. A great choice and great value for an everyday smoke.
The Quorum Corona is a wonderful cigar. I found them in a cigar store in Delaware and liked them so much I started ordering them from CI. They're not strong, stay lit, have a pleasant taste and you just can't beat the price. I gave a pack to a good buddy, and he raved about them. Give them a try I don't believe you'll be disappointed.
I just wonder how many people give bad reviews to cigars and know nothing about humidors and types of tobaccos. Quorum cigars have Ecuadorian wrappers, Nicaraguan binders and fillers. If you are a fan of this 3 way tobacco mixture, and humidify these cigars correctly, you are foolish to spend more money on a cigar with a fancy band and name! These are 4.5 out of 5 in my book.
Excellent basic smoke! Good smoking; never disappointed!
I have smoked two bundles of 20 Quorum Robusto & was not pleased with them. I found them to be hard on the draw & not burn evenly. Also they were sold as mild/medium but they seemed to be stronger than advertized & felt very hot to the fingers while smoking. I will definately select a diferent cigar from now on.
5 stars for the Quorum Shade. A good Toro size smoke. I prefer my cigars mild and this hits the spot. Also the perfect size to enjoy on a lunch break at work. Discovered these at Total Wines and have been a fan since.
Great smoke. Very mild but tasty.
I know there is a medium and a mild in the Quorums, I happen to prefer the mild. Unfortunately, there is no real differentiation as to which is the light wrapper mild and the dark, more robust blend. Other than the 50/50 chance of getting the right one, the order was fine and cigars of exceptional quality. Now I just have to remember, I think, that the shade grown is more mild.
Delicious smoke but are not long fillers.
Picked one up at a local shop to see what the fuss is about. Honestly, I'm still not sure. There's nothing particularly special about them, though there isn't anything offensive either. I picked up the torpedo and v - cut it. I felt the draw was a bit tight, and it didn't produce as much smoke as I had hoped. Flavor is run-of-the-mill, burn was even enough (I would give these another shot since I match lit this one), and it dropped ash 3 times, each time about 2" fell. My wife commented that the smoke was a little offensive, unlike other sticks I've smoked. All in all, for the price it wasn't bad, but for me it probably isn't my every day smoke.
I have smoked about 20 of these cigars and I will give my honest opinion. Very good price, has medium flavor and is very smooth. Burn uneven but it will correct itself. In the third half flavors pick up and more spice comes in. Very spicy in the retrohale. Give it a week in the humidor after you buy them. Packing is a little loose but it has good and enjoyable flavors.
A tasty cheap smoke. Placing my next order now!
My daily stick. Ran into these by accident & glad I did. My humi is never holding less than a bundle of each (torpedo shade & natural). The absolute best buy for the cash. Great stick for garage/yard work & best handouts around. No need to be embarrassed passing them out & the $ makes you feel like Santa.
Nice smoke. Good value. I enjoy a mild to medium smoke and this is a really good choice. A bit light on the draw with the corona. I keep them a more humid than other sticks, to help the wrap stay intact. Occasionally a wrapper will fail, but for the price I can overlook that. I'll buy more as an everyday smoke.
Excellent everyday smoke. Nice mild cigar. Robust flavor. Excellent price.
Smoked my first one, a Toro. Not too bad, burned a little uneven at first, at 2/3 done it had issues staying lit.
Not bad...not bad at all, in fact - pretty tasty.
This is one of my favorite cigars. It's a shame that there name is not prevalent. I bought them thinking they'd just be a cheap cigar, but I had to give them a try. I was very impressed to say the least. I will continue to buy these over and over again. Definitely give them a try.
Ran into these at a Duty Free in Canada and was pleasantly surprised. Smooth smoke for a couple of bucks, had to buy more to have on hand.
Nice mild smoke for the price.
This is a fantastic cigar for the money. The Corona is great for the ride home after a long day at work.
Negative 5 stars. These cigars are poorly rolled and fall apart as they are smoked. What was left on the floor ended up in these. I guess you get what you pay for.
My wife and I were in Barbados about 6 weeks ago. I bought Royal Barbados ($10 a stick) and then, at another venue, my wife bought me some expensive cigars; as appreciation, the clerk tossed in a Quorum Robusto. Tonight, I finally got around to smoking it. It was a very consistent smoke from beginning to end. It dropped ash twice, and it had an inch plus ash on it when I finished it--about an inch and a quarter from the end. The burn was even, and I never had to do touch up lights. It is flavorful. I do not have a discerning palate, but the woodsy smoke was unmistakable and lasted throughout the smoke. I tasted spice, rather a white pepper sort of finish. The draw was good throughout and produced a decent volume of smoke. I smoke Alec Bradley American Classic Torpedo ($5 per stick). At that price, I can't smoke many. I can get 4 Quorum for 1 Alec Bradley. The Quorum is not as good a smoke, of course. There was a hint of harshness at times which is never there with AB. But for the price?! Where has this cigar been all of my life? For the money, this is a GREAT cigar. Try it; you'll like it.
Great value and a very nice finish!
Not overly impressed.
I thought the smoke was dry, the wrapper did fail, but the binder seemed to hold. over all, I think there is a better cigar out there for the price, this wouldn't be my first choice for a few dollars, however it is difficult to beat the price...
Back in May of 2009 I wrote to implore CI to take on this brand and I am pleased to see that they took me up on it. Quorum cigars won't win any fancy pageant but they will give you a good cigar at a great price. Well made by the folks at JC Newman and one of the best bundles out there still today.
I was pleasantly surprised by these cigars. Most of the cigars I've been buying from my local shop have been in the $8-$15 range per stick (Casa Fernandez, Pardron 1964, Montecristo Epic), but I picked up a couple of these when I was looking for a cheap smoke to carry around in my pocket. I wasn't expecting much, but the burn was reasonably even, the flavor was good, although not amazing, and there was a fairly huge volume of dense smoke for a cheap-o corona size. All together, they're a very decent walkin-around cigar. I had no idea until a few minutes ago that CI carried them, and at about 1/4 the price per stick of the local tobacco shop. As soon as I get my new humi set up I'll be buying a bundle or two of these to keep for my pocket case and for when the guys come over.
I love the mild flavor of the Quorum, and the Robusto is is just the right size for a short smoke break.
Great cigar! Nice, easy draw and mild/med.... always fresh from CI.
Have smoked Quorum for a while now. Generally good. I like corona better that robusto or larger....
....Tried my very first non-Cubans, Quorum Corona being one of them. Great value indeed as mentioned by other reviewers. To me it is a very generous cigar in every aspect. Smooth, tasty and satisfying with mild and mellow character. Notes of leather throughout and getting just a bit spicy and notes of coffee towards the end. Thanks, again, to CI's staff for their great care. HG of Tehran, Iran to be exact!
Quorum is by far one of the better every day cigar that is easy on the wallet. With Corona size some issues with the wrapper cracking towards the end with a few sticks here and there. Went with the Toro size and had not had that issue so far. I would say try these bad boys out and if you get an issue with some of the smaller sizes give the larger size a try and you will be in for a real good treat.
A tasty smoke.....
The pre-light taste and smell of this stick was impressive, with a great leathery smell and a hint of spice on the lips. Also it came with a cool gold and purple band displaying the Quorum Logo. The first third of this cigar had a mild to medium body flavor holding onto that spicy leathery taste, while continuing to burn even and razor sharp. Ash held very well throughout averaging about 1-1/2" before falling. Before finishing the second third, the taste started transitioning to more of a woody to leathery note but the draw and smoke were holding strong. The last third continued with that woody taste losing any hint of sweetness that was around at one point. I was able to finish this cigar without any need of a touch up light. I let it die out with about an inch and a half left giving me a little more than an hour of enjoyable smoke. Get this one, it's worth it.
First off I have to say I paired this stick like any every day cigar with a domestic draft beer hanging with the guys in the bar scene. Not exactly my first choice of beer or my first choice in a cigar. But I did look at this cigar as something you could light up when out partying and having a good time with friends. The Quorum of choice was a cigar that falls in a great price range of the everyday smoker and constructed with a Nicaraguan binder and filler wrapped in an Ecuadorian sun grown wrapper, the Quorum 4. The pre-light taste and smell of this stick was impressive with a cool gold and purple band displaying the Quorum Logo with a great leathery smell with a hint of spice on the lips. I clipped the cap with a standard guillotine cutter and did the initial light. This cigar came out of the "shoot" burning and drawing like a champ with hints of a spicy woody flavor and great smoke. The first third of this cigar had a mild to medium body flavor holding onto that spicy leathery taste while continuing to burn even and razor sharp. Before moving into the second third hints of nutty and sweet flavors were beginning to come out. Ash held very well throughout averaging about 1-1/2" before falling. Before finishing the second third the taste started transitioning to more of a woody to leathery note but the draw and smoke were holding strong. The last third continued with that woody taste losing any hint of sweetness that was around at one point in the final part of the first third. I was able to finish this cigar without any need of a touch up light before I let it die out with about an inch and a half left giving me a little more than an hour of enjoyable smoke. Overall I believe this is a great cigar for everyday or one that you could count on during a party night that will have a consistent burn, not move from good to really bad toward the end and; if you're Buds want to smoke one of yours it won't break the bank...."Enjoy the Smoke"
2003 I started smoking cigars, started with machine mades then grew up. Bought my first Quorum at a cigar store, mainly for price. Ten years later still smoking Quorums, have 6 humidors, one is just for Quorums. Enjoy most cigars, CAO, 5Vegas, Rocky, Cohiba, but still like the flavor and consistency of Quorums. Little side note, was walking down Fremont Street in Vegas one night smoking a Quorum, had somebody tap me on the shoulder. He wanted to know what cigar it was because it smelled so good. Told him, gave him the band so he knows and sent him to the cigar store I know that carries them. If that doesn't tell how good a Qurum is nothing will.
Good smoke for the Price! A bit loose wrap, but smoke very even. Great every day cigar.
I picked up 5 of these sticks when I was on vacation and had forgotten the cigars that I had laid out to bring with me. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on cigars that I had not read about or tried. I bought them because they were only $2.75/stick. I was very surprised and pleased with the quality and most of all the mildness and taste of these cigars. I think I have definitely found my new everyday smokes. Very nice for the newbie or the seasoned smoker that likes mild to medium and wants all the flavor that the more expensive cigars gives you. Try them.... I think you'll agree.
Bought the Corona size and tried one right out of the box. Nice draw, a little loose on the packaging, quite a lot of favor, great value! Thx CI. Mark
5 Stars. Consistent, well-made cigars. These are sold at the PX and I've smoked literally hundreds of Quorum cigars. If you want to keep $ in your wallet yet be pleased with your cigar, you can't go wrong with these. Cigars International has the best prices around, the best shipping around, but they need to rework their spelling of "Quorum". :)

Carey gets early scare, but stays perfect in MAL
NORTH BALTIMORE - North Baltimore ended the first quarter clinging to a 14-12 lead Thursday over Midland Athletic League leader Carey.
It didn't last.
The Blue Devils roared off 47-16 over the next two periods to erase any North Baltimore hopes of saddling them with their first league loss. Carey rolled to a 78-41 win.
Logan Johnson scored 15 points for Carey (17-1, 8-0 MAL), and Shelby Kin and Sydney Wentling each tossed in 11. Abby Hall and Hannah Draper both chipped in eight points.
Ali Rymer backed them with six rebounds and Draper dished six assists.
Olivia Frost's 21 points sparked the Tigers (7-12, 2-7), and Kiah Powell scored 11.
Troike, SW too tall an order for Tigers
ATTICA - Seneca East rallied after the first quarter, but the Tigers came up short. By then they were used to it.
St. Wendelin 6-foot-3 post Kamryn Troike turned in her third single-game school scoring record this year as the Mohawks held on for a 55-50 Midland Athletic League win.
Troike topped everyone with a huge double-double of 34 points and 25 rebounds. She also swatted three shots and played all 32 minutes.
It appeared early on St. Wendelin (15-4, 5-3 MAL) would not need that kind of output as the Mohawks jumped out to a 15-2 lead at the first stop and entered halftime up 27-12.
The Tigers (8-11, 2-7) countered in the third period to cut the gap to 34-27, but St. Wendelin held on from there.
Allie Rutter backed Troike with nine points and four assists, Makenzie McAfee had seven points and five assists and Taylor Williams, who also never left the court for the Mohawks, dished three assists.
The Tigers got 24 points and seven steals from Seina Adachi and 11 points from Brittany Brookes.
Hannah Hahler and Kirsten Camp each hauled in seven of Seneca East's 29 rebounds, with Camp adding four assists.
Chieftains break free from St. Joe in second half
FREMONT - Hopewell-Loudon slowly pulled away in the second half and nearly got a double-double from Brooke Arbogast in Thursday's 61-52 Midland Athletic League win over Fremont St. Joe.
The Chieftains (12-6, 4-4 MAL) entered intermission with a 26-24 edge and built that to 44-41 over the next eight minutes before outscoring St. Joe 17-11 in the fourth period.
Arbogast provided nine points and 12 rebounds for H-L, and Aleta Daniel had 17 points, seven assists and four steals. Sicily Leiter chipped in 13 points, seven boards and four assists.
Ashley Burns and Bre Reardon each netted 18 points for the Crimson Streaks (1-7 MAL), with Burns adding seven assists and six steals.
Laura Baez backed them with nine points and Ava Stepanic had eight boards and four steals.
BC?boys get back to winning
NEW WASHINGTON - One game after having its nine-game win streak snapped, Buckeye Central got back to winning.
Austin Wurm and Cade Kaple combined for 40 points and the Bucks stormed off in the middle quarters to turn a close game with Mansfield Christian into a 63-40 triumph.
Wurm tallied 21 points and six rebounds for the Bucks (15-2) and Kaple had 19 points and six assists
Sam Robertson chipped in eight points and Gray Loy dished four assists.
The Flames (12-5), who suffered their first loss in six games, got 12 points from Caleb Young. Brandon Mount and Stevie Brown each netted nine points, with Mount chipping in five rebounds and Brown adding three steals.
TC takes two from NOL foes
WILLARD - Columbian rolled in the first match and survived in the second Thursday in pair of wins over Northern Ohio League rivals Willard and Sandusky.
Seth Williams paced the Tornadoes with a pair of pins to help TC thump Willard 51-24 and upend Sandusky 38-34.
Williams flattened Willard 182-pounder Fabian Ortega (1:22) and stuck Sandusky 170-pounder Ed Alexander (1:24).
His win over Ortego put TC up 30-18 with five weight classes to go. Willard took the 195-pound bout by pin to get within six points, but Columbian countered with two forfeits, a pin and a decision to pull away.
Against Sandusky, his pin gave TC a 24-10 lead, but the Blue Streaks rallied back for a 28-27 edge with a pin at 285 pounds.
However, Lalo Lucwick answered with a 16-0 tech fall for TC over 106-pounder Leondrey Cooley for a 38-28 lead in the second-to-last bout to secure the win.
Ludwick joined Williams and six other TC double winners, pinning Willard's Jeremy Kimberlin (5:37).
Kaleb Gibson (132), Roman Williams (145), Mason Correll (152), Tyler Mesnard (160), Jacob Parrott (220) and Drew Hoffman (113) also each won twice.
Gibson had a decision and injury default, Roman Williams scored a tech fall and pin, Correll had a pin and decision, Mesnard turned in a major decision and a decision, Parrott added a forfeit and decision, and Hoffman had a decision and a forfeit.

Never has the un-dead been so sexy. But Greene says she's not like most women in Hollywood anyway. "I don't want a child's body," she says of the drive to be thin. "I want a woman's body that is extremely fit. It's so much sexier. "
Another thing 23-year-old Greene is certain of: her type of man. "I love a pretty boy with an edge, " she tells Woman's Health. "Someone who has blue eyes, who has mystery, and who's a little brooding."
Well, Lutz has the eye color down – not to mention a body that makes girls across the globe swoon. "Where I grew up in Arizona, you would never see anyone without a shirt on at school, " Lutz, 25, tells Men's Health. "But when I took off my shirt, all the girls were, like, 'Oh, look at your abs!'
