Born near Paris, Kentucky, on December 16, 1862, John Fox Jr. was the son of a schoolmaster in Kentucky's Bourbon County. He enjoyed the benefits of quality education in childhood and attended Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, before graduating from Harvard in 1883. Fox then worked as a journalist in New York City before returning to Kentucky in 1885 to join his brother in a land-speculation venture that took them into the mountainous areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
In 1890 Fox moved to Big Stone Gap, Virginia, and his observations about this area and its residents became the seed for several stories, including "A Mountain Europa" and "A Cumberland Vendetta," published in Century Magazine in 1892 and 1894 respectively, and "The Last Stetson," published by Harper's Weekly in 1895. According to Virginia Tech professor Edward L. Tucker, Fox's business investments in Big Stone Gap "proved to be disastrous" and "to help recover some of the money he lost, he gave public lectures. One member of his audience was Theodore Roosevelt, who, after becoming president, invited Fox to come to the White House to read his stories and to sing mountain songs to the accompaniment of his guitar."
Fox published his first full-length novel, The Kentuckians, in 1897. The book explores a recurring theme that had brought him recognition with his earlier stories and that he would continue to explore throughout his career: the uncivilized mountaineer versus the civilized flatlander. The former appears in the character of Boone Stallard, a Kentucky legislator with a mountain background and a lawless family (his mother smokes a pipe while his brother sits in jail). The latter is represented by Randolph Marshall, heir to a tobacco fortune. Conflict comes in the form of Anne Bruce, who, as daughter of the governor, is of Marshall's class but finds herself attracted, instead, to Stallard.
Six years later, Fox more firmly established his place in the era's popular literature more firmly with The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, a tale set during the American Civil War (1861–1865). In it, the mountain shepherd Chad Buford is taken in by the well-to-do soldier Major Calvin Buford, and later the two discover they are related. Little Shepherd is considered to be one of the first books printed in the United States to sell a million copies, and as a consequence it relieved Fox of his debts.
Fox interspersed his career as a novelist with stints in journalism, serving as a correspondent during the Spanish-American War (1898) and in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). His follow-up to Little Shepherd, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, which examined the impact of the coal industry on Appalachia and the boom-and-bust cycle of the period, was also a best seller. The novel's central love story, between a mountain girl and a flatland man, takes place in Big Stone Gap, a setting of lawless feuding and tensions resulting from the intense (and ultimately unsuccessful) outside investment in industry, of which Fox himself had been a part. But the novel also records and illuminates the local way of life: simple entertainments, religion, agriculture, and crafts.
With an advance sale of 100,000, The Trail of Lonesome Pine eventually sold two million copies. It was adapted for the stage and produced at the New Amsterdam Theater in New York in 1912. Cecil B. DeMille wrote, directed, and produced a film version in 1916, while other versions appeared in 1914, 1923, and 1936. An outdoor drama adaptation of the novel has appeared every summer since 1964 in the town of Big Stone Gap. The town also showcases Fox's home, built in 1888.
Following the success of The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Fox married Fritzi Scheff, a star of the Metropolitan Opera, in 1908. (He had dedicated the novel to her.) Although Scheff frequently visited Big Stone Gap and became an occasional addition to local entertainment, she and Fox ended their tumultuous marriage in 1913. Fox's later works did not enjoy the same success as his two most popular novels. He died of pneumonia on July 8, 1919, and is buried in Paris, Kentucky.
Contemporary critics have taken issue with Fox's now-outdated portrayal of the mountain people he chronicled, including his presentation of women as subservient and his contribution to the "mountaineer" stereotype of Appalachian residents. He is regarded as a noted practitioner of the local-color genre, however, which was a dominant mode of American fiction writing after the Civil War, and he is mentioned alongside other local-color writers such as Kate Chopin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Thomas Nelson Page. If Fox's stories are now sometimes seen as sentimental toward his Appalachian characters and setting, the same is true of the local-color genre in general and southern regionalism literature in particular.

beowulfs character opinion paper
?Beowulf Essay By: HJDECME Jaryn Elders Sept. 8, 2013 Beowulf writing assignment Sister Christa Marie Beowulf's character begins with the elements of a true hero, but ends with actions based on pride resulting in death, and even though he intended to do good, he portrayed himself as being almost invincible. By telling people that he was better than everyone else, for instance, the story about the time that he and a swimmer competed against each other and Beowulf supposedly "lost" only because he wound up having to save the competitor.
This story he told to people is one example of how he tried to convince people that he was better than he was, and superior to other people. Unfortunately because of his pride, he was killed during his fight with the fire dragon because he was old and did not recognize his own weaknesses. In the poem, Beowulf was trying to help King Hrothgar's people against the monster Grendel and his mother and help his own people from the fire dragon that was destroying their villages but his pride got in the way and he wound up dying when he did not have to die.
Beowulf was a great warrior and a true hero, however his pride got the best of him, and a great king, that was trying to help his people had to die. In the beginning of the poem Hrothgar and his people were attacked by this monster named Grendel. There was no one around could defeat this horrid beast. However then Beowulf comes and he believes that he and his men can defeat, this so called beast, Grendel. Some of the people were not convinced because of events that were told of Beowulf's past, however Hrothgar believed in him, and so did most of his thanes.
The very first time Beowulf fought Grendel, Beowulf was weaponless and that is what leads his pride. Later on, to basically prove his strength, he fought Grendel again weaponless, he was doing it just to show off. However he is a hero because he does eventually defeat Grendel and saves Hrothgar's people. Then Grendel's mother comes along and wants to avenge her son's death. She terrorized king Hrothgars men and Beowulf had to step in again and fight Grendel's mother. Again with much pride he went alone to fight Grendel's mother at the bottom of a lake. A lake, that when someone goes in they don't come back out.
It was an acidic lake that melted a sword that Beowulf had. Not one person that has gone into the lake has survived. Yet he went straight in the acidic lake to fight the mother of Grendel. He then killed Grendel's mother and took Grendel's head to the king to prove that they don't need to worry anymore. Which also shows his pride, his need for recognition and his need of glory of the deed that was done. Beowulf then returned to his homeland and became king for fifty winters. Then a thief disturbed the fire dragon by stealing its treasure. A flagon was stolen from the lair.
Beowulf then tries to do what is best for his people because the dragon is attacking the villages. Beowulf then tries to remember his fight with Grendel and his mother so he can fight the dragon. The problem is that Beowulf is very old at this point so when he wants to fight the fire dragon, it seems he is full of pride and feels like he can do it despite his old age. So Beowulf goes to the lair of the dragon with several of his men and the thief to lead the way. They get to the lair but Beowulf goes in first, by himself, and fights the fire dragon, and by fighting it alone, the dragon bites him in the neck and chest, leaving a fatal wound.
Then his loyal friend saves him and finishes off the fire dragon. Beowulf is very satisfied that he got the treasure from the dragon's lair for his people and even in his dying breath he thanks God. Throughout the story he thanks God a lot, and that gives him good traits of a true hero and where he is not full of pride. However, Beowulf was so full of lots pride when fighting the fire dragon. It is likely that he might not have died in the end if his attitude was changed. So I believe that Beowulf is a hero, however he is just too full of himself that he winds up getting himself killed.
Also at the end of the poem, the last words are he is most eager for fame. That tells me that he wanted glory, glory that would immortalize him throughout the ages. However he did want best for his people so you could also argue that Beowulf was just another regular human that wanted to live forever. The only way to live forever, was for your name and your story to live on. Though Beowulf might not have been a real person, his story and the names in the story will live on and be told in many more times to come.

How to Manage Change – 4 Steps to Build RESILIENCE
Buckle up … build resilience.
"One of the major issues most of us face, is finding the energy to go the distance each day. What baffles many, is developing the discipline needed to build enthusiasm to develop our physical, mental and emotional endurance." Tracy Tully
Author Tracy Tully, opens her book with the following:
WARNING!!!! Be fearless, don't proceed with caution!
Tracy takes readers on a discovery journey of the road less travelled, by building resilience and growing self-confidence, relating each chapter of enlightenment to 'one road trip at a time'.
For some of us, we don't understand that we tolerate and accept the chaos we live in ignoring that we're stuck in our comfort zones. We can't change because our lives are predictable, safe and secure, that is of course, until our worlds come crashing down around us. What we don't see is that we're desperately guarding our world from falling apart to protect our sanity. By doing this, we condemn ourselves to life in a world where we are constantly overwhelmed and don't know how to break free.
COME FLY WITH ME... ON A DC-3
Joy Allardyce (Shipway) was born on Armistice Day, 11th November 1930 and grew up in the Sydney beach suburb of Maroubra.
Her love of flying began in her teens when she travelled on a DC-3 to Evans Head, enroute to Nimbin, then later to Wagga Wagga, enroute to Tumut, also on a DC-3. In 1951 she flew to Hayman Island by Flying Boat taking off from Rose Bay, Sydney Harbour. The return flights from Hayman were via Proserpine to Brisbane (DC-3) and Brisbane to Sydney (DC-3) and it was not long after she returned that Trans-Australia Airlines (TAA) advertised for young ladies interested in becoming an Air Hostess (hostie) to send in applications. Joy applied and was accepted!
Joy has had short stories, human interest stories and poems published and in 1987 was awarded the Year 12 English prize through the Queensland Secondary Correspondence School. Joy studied Professional Journalism and worked for the West Australian newspaper while living in Mount Newman, in the Pilbara, Western Australia.
Joy has criss-crossed Australia many times and lived in most States, including Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. In the early 1960's she lived in Malaysia while her husband served as a doctor in the Royal Australian Air Force and spent 1982 on Norfolk Island.
Mother of three successful daughters, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren, Joy now lives high on a hill overlooking the city of Toowoomba.
COME FLY WITH ME… ON A DC-3 is about the flying days of all those dedicated hosties who crewed the intrepid DC-3 when they worked single-handed and did not belong to a union!
"Age only matters when one is ageing.
Now that I have arrived at a great age I might just as well be twenty."

Emma, from Cardiff in the UK, has been on the road with us in East and Southern Africa and South America since June 2015.
I was a Cardiac Physiologist at St. Thomas Hospital in London, so this has been a bit of a career change!
I did two trips as a passenger, and loved overlanding so much that I realised that I would either spend my entire wages on more trips or apply as crew and do it full time! It's been the best decision I've ever made.
I love the Okavango Delta in Botswana - watching a herd of elephants swim across to an island from our bushcamp has to be one of the highlights so far!
Sleeping outside after a particularly stressful day at Sossusvlei in Namibia, and watching countless shooting stars fly across the sky. Incredible! Although ask me next week and I'll likely have replaced it with something new!
My ipod. Every trip so far seems to have created its own soundtrack and every song reminds me of a different moment and makes me smile.
Go with the flow and join in as much as you can. Not everything will go to plan, but you never know what's around the corner - a detour may mean you discover something completely new and you could well make lifelong friends with your truck buddies.

I think we should be talking about "bail," not "bailouts," regarding the people running the Big Three car companies and the lawmakers who mindlessly protected them for so long.
All last week as the markets tanked I crowded onto the website of Wall Street Journal like a moth to flame. And today the Dow ends up over 900 points. Is this for real or a euphoric blip? Should I have been selling today when the market didn't tank after 3 p.m.? Only time will tell.
For today, I will settle for pinning the tail back on the financial donkey. Besides I'm out of Jack Daniels.
A truck hauling nickels for the mint dumped its load on I-4 near Orlando, Florida, last week. I don't have to tell you hands were turned into scoops, do I? Guess what? Same thing has already begun in Washington even before the nickels roll.
"This makes clear the cost of doing nothing is high and growing.

Thought that one of his better kicks in the second half was when it went straight down the middle and there was no one to latch onto it due to Lucas J. Just going off.
Really impressed with how he played tonight, really solid defending, some great tackling and heading, possible future captain.
Fletcher was injured, he spoke to Bullen about 5 minutes before coming off.
Sorry but Penny was garbage tonight, too slow on the uptake. How many times do you see him running towards a player, slowing down then suddenly realising he should speed up to keep in touch with the player and by that time it's too late. Needs a really good strong stern talking to.
Thought he was really good tonight, let the game flow.
But according to the sky pundits it was a poor penalty, not a good save. Never heard so much bias towards the pigs tonight, absolutely disgraceful from sky tonight.
Yet Thursday morning BBC radio Sheffield said that Jos said that Lees was dropped for tactical reasons???????, what gives? Who's telling porkies.
3 league goals (so far). Oh and if Lees and Thornilly were dropped for making individual mistakes on Friday then after tonight we're struggling to put out a side for the Birmingham game.
Don't like it but I would just go long against the grunts, they don't like it when teams are up and at them, get them on the back foot and they'll make mistakes. It's when you sit back and allow them time on the ball that they punish you.
Not big Dave''s biggist fan but he should have played from the start, their defenders would have known they were in a game, Joao is too lightweight and is easily knocked off the ball and after a while his head soon drops. Thought Joey P. had a decent game but too many players had an off game, just hope we can bounce back against QPR and Birmingham.
No, it's now called the "We were once on Dr. Who stand"
Bringing Kirkby on. It made the midfield a bit lightweight , would have been better bringing on Thornily to just sit in front of the defence. Would have also brought Fletcher on instead of Joao.
What disappointed me in that first 10 minutes of the second half was that we had 11 men behind the ball and we were mostly in our own half of the pitch. We just invited pressure on ourselves. Another thing that annoyed me was the amount of times Dawson went to ground with the ball and just laid on it instead of launching a quick counter attack, saw Reach make a couple of runs when Dawson had the ball but he never released it long and chose to play it short to a defender and the way Leeds were pressing we were instantly under pressure .

February 18, 2021 Interviews
People Behind the Profile — @stogielads
Carl and Ruben took Instagram by storm, there is no other way to put it. Probably the youngest blood on the cigar community and with immense knowledge about cigars. They are very active on their account with giveaways (in which we had also the pleasure to participate), partnerships, and even a very entertaining podcast. They have no filter when talking about cigars and that is the way it should be, don't you think?
Thank you very much for accepting our interview, it is a pleasure to personally meet you. Who are you?
The pleasure is all ours! Thank you so much for inviting us! We are Carl and Ruben, two Swedish university students who love all things cigars (pun intended) but most people online know us as "The Stogie Lads"!
What motivated you to start producing content for the community?
We had both long been interested in cigars before we started our account roughly three years ago. We had both also been part of the cigar community on Instagram for a long time as followers with our personal accounts. We followed all the big accounts, but as two regular guys and university students, the lavish lifestyles and incredibly rare and expensive cigars that they smoked didn't represent our personal cigar experiences. This inspired us to create an account that represented what we personally wanted to see. Nice cigar pictures, sure, but most importantly with content behind it. No staged pictures or unobtainable cigars and always a caption that discussed and reviewed what we smoked in the picture and gave the content some depth.
How is the cigar scene in your country?
Firstly we're very proud of how many big Swedish cigar accounts there are on Instagram! The scene here in Sweden is pretty good for how difficult our government makes it for us. Two years ago smoking at outdoor servings such as cafés and bars was made illegal so we can no longer sit outside at a café and enjoy a cigar. Smoking indoors at any "public" establishment is also strictly prohibited so lounges, in general, are a no-go here. Other than that, the one thing the government can't do anything about, our wonderful community, is going strong and filled with some of the kindest people we've ever met!
Do you prefer having a cigar alone or with others?
We're both very social people and are firmly in the mindset that the best enhancer for a cigar is the environment around it. Although we both love the meditative and ritualistic side of enjoying a cigar in solitude, we both think it's hard to beat a great cigar surrounded by some even greater company!
Enjoying a cigar: inside or outside?
While a perfect day outdoors with a nice cigar can be perfect, the fact that we live in Sweden makes those days a little too rare for our liking. Cigars are enjoyed with all the senses and a cold and windy day that ruins the burn of a cigar and removes any aroma around it can easily deteriorate the moment. In general, when sampling a very fine cigar we prefer being indoors in perfect conditions to truly appreciate the cigars on all levels!
We're going to talk about cigars, no matter their origin. However, we have to ask: are you more of a Cuban or a non-Cuban cigar person?
Carl: I'm in principle a lover of all good cigars no matter the origin. This, however, doesn't strictly mean I smoke cigars from all countries at an identical ratio. I'd say my split is roughly 60% Cuban and 40% non-Cuban, where Nicaragua is my favorite non-Cuban cigar-producing country.
Ruben: through testing many different cigars from various origins I've really learned to appreciate the differences in taste that each region can produce. I still have several regions to explore but so far I still lean toward Cuban cigars when talking strictly about region-specific preferences.
Imagine that the embargo on Cuba is lifted. What will happen next?
This is a thought that makes us both shudder and also perk up with the thought of all the opportunities that would open up. If the embargo is lifted between the US and Cuba and Habanos stays the sole maker of Cuban cigars, we can't really see anything other than a disaster. Cuba can barely keep up with demand as it is and struggle to deliver the quality both in construction and consistency that we have come to expect from our beloved cigars. If the US, the world's biggest consumer of cigars, can suddenly openly purchase cigars from Cuba, demand will outweigh supply even further, prices will skyrocket and quality will, in turn, suffer even further. The perfect scenario would be to completely open the Cuban cigar market for outside producers and privatize it once again so that the Cuban cigar industry can flourish as much as it did pre-revolution!
You recently started a podcast. How is it going so far?
It is going very well! This is definitely one of the most fun projects we've started as 'the stogie lads' as it's just us recording a normal chat we would be having anyway and sharing it with everyone out there! We chat about a myriad of cigar-related topics and have a lot of fun doing it. We were just recently able to upgrade to a completely professional set up with mics thanks to some breathtakingly kind fundraising by our amazing followers which we're eternally grateful for!
If someone reading this wants to start a podcast also, what is your main advice?
I'd say the first thing is to not worry all too much about the gear. Don't spend insane amounts of money on equipment before you've even started as the most important thing is the content and quality of the show itself. Secondly is to structure the show decently so it's not just a messy hour of rambling between whoever is recording. The last thing is what we all learned in school as kids. To have fun. If you're relaxed and enjoying yourself it will really show in the end product and people will have an easier time listening to the podcast if it doesn't sound forced and awkward.
Usually, people have two first-time moments: the first cigar and the cigar that ignited the passion you have today. What were yours?
Carl: mine, rather fortuitously, was the same moment! While living in Brazil a friend brought some Romeo y Julieta no 2s to a poker night and gave me one to smoke. I had read about cigars with great enthusiasm before but had never tried one. Although many people's first cigars are usually quite poor, I was lucky enough to smoke a great beginner Cuban stick that made me fall in love with cigars from the first puff! A moment I'll never forget.
Ruben: my first ever cigar was a Macanudo Diplomat which was a much nicer cigar than I realized at the time. The situation however was not ideal as I smoked it outside on a friend's patio while trying to stay out of the rain that was pouring down. However, the experience was intriguing enough for me to want to continuously explore more. The moment that really ignited my passion was when carl moved back to Sweden and we had access to a beautiful patio overlooking the Swedish archipelago that became our haven for cigar smoking.
What's the best cigar you have ever had?
Carl: ranking cigars, a very subjective thing, objectively is always difficult but choosing a favorite cigar moment through sentiment is a little easier. A moment that's still unbeaten for me was new year's eve in 2019 when Ruben came over. The day was absolutely perfect and I enjoyed a Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 1 that smoked flawlessly with intense layers of complexity. Another moment I'll never forget!
Ruben: When talking about the best cigar, the entirety of the surroundings of the occasion leaves a much stronger imprint of the cigar experience. Aside from the experience that Carl mentioned, which is also one of my favorite cigar memories, the time we visited James J. Fox in London and had the possibility to smoke a Quai d'Orsay Coronas Claro in their lounge is an experience that stays undefeated in my book.
Based on that, what's the perfect pairing for that specific cigar?
Carl: that day we had some coffee and a box of chocolates which paired beautifully with the sweetness and floral notes of the cigar. I could imagine a port wine or a nice rum would be amazing with that cigar too.
Ruben: I remember that we paired the cigars with an espresso or two which might not be the perfect pairing for that given cigar but still went very decently. If I were to have that cigar again I might try it out with champagne.
Everyone has their ritual when starting a cigar session. What's yours?
Carl: I don't think my ritual stands out all too much but I like to go through all the motions so to speak. I like to thoroughly inspect my cigar when I take it out of the humidor, smell the wrapper, the foot to give a little hint of what I'm in for flavor-wise. I vary from regular straight cuts to v cuts depending on my mood and I always like to very slowly toast the cigar carefully and evenly when lighting, never rushing the process.
Ruben: before lighting up the stick I generally like to take in all aromas from the wrapper, test out the draw and note some flavor from dry-haling. I also like to think about the journey the cigar has taken to reach my hands at the point. I am constantly amazed by the craft that goes into every single cigar and how that makes every stick unique. And like carl, I also toast my cigar slowly and detailed so I give the stogie the best conditions for a good burn.
Tell us about your collection. What does your humidor look like?
We have too many humidors between the two of us honestly haha. We both made the mistake of buying decently small-sized desktop humidors that we thought would last us a while back then. Little did we know how quickly a cigar collection accumulates and we quickly scrambled to find more storage solutions. Now we use a mix of classic wooden desktop humidors, "tupperdors" and acrylic jars to store our cigars. We both separate our collections between the stuff we're aging and saving for a long time which is a lot of limited edition Cuban stuff, Regional Editions and hard-to-find non-Cuban stuff like special edition Davidoff and Andalusian Bulls for example. Then we also have a separate stock of cigars that we're planning on smoking in the not-so-distant future which is a huge mix of everything you could think of in terms of both Cuban and non-Cuban cigars.
When we meet someone, we usually give away one cigar as a gesture of good faith. What was the best cigar you have been offered?
Carl: we've been incredibly fortunate to have been gifted some ridiculously nice cigars from some amazing people we've connected with through Instagram. It is always difficult to narrow it down but if I had to, solely on how legendary this cigar is, it would have to be the Behike 52 we were given by @cigarkingsweden!
Ruben: It's crazy the number of good cigars that come to mind when thinking about this question, some cigars that we could probably never get a hold of! Out of all the amazing gifts we've gotten from so many awesome people, @3_amigos_cigar_club and @cigarkingsweden gifted us a Cohiba Talisman each.
And the worst?
Carl: a family member of mine who knew I like cigars once smoked a bit of a Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios at a new year's eve party but didn't come close to finishing it. She didn't know much about cigars so she thought she could save it in a ziplock bag and give it to me as it wasn't fully smoked. Obviously, this cigar was completely unsmokeable and smelled awful, but the intention was certainly very kind!
Ruben: for lack of bad gifts, I'll have to say a cigar that carl and I bought very early on in our cigar smoking days which I don't even remember the name of. We bought it at a corner store type of place and definitely wouldn't gift it to my worst enemy today.
What do you think about cigars as a type of investment, like watches and cars?
In general, our attitude to most things is "to each their own". However, if people enter the world of cigars with the sole intention of profiting off of this hobby and the people that are passionate about it, we find that hard to respect. If you're a big cigar smoker yourself and sell some stuff from your stock every once in a while, that's totally fine. It is when people who have no interest or intention of smoking or enjoying cigars whatsoever and only buy up limited edition cigars to sell to real aficionados that we'd have a problem is. At the end of the day, cigars are a product that is meant to be savored and smoked and not treated as a collectible and a price tag.
You can have as many cigars as you want, forever but it always has to be the same. What would you pick?
Carl: I'd have to narrow it down to my favorite vitola overall, a Corona Gorda, of my favorite brand, H. Upmann. The H. Upmann Magnum 46 is a cigar I'd probably never tire of, although I'd certainly miss all the other wonderful cigars out there!
Ruben: A cigar that has always impressed me is the Ramon Allones Specially Selected. This question is extremely difficult but the RASS was the first cigar that came into mind.
We all made some honest mistakes on our cigar journey. Tell us about your most embarrassing one.
Carl: a couple of years ago, Ruben and I were out in the countryside on a spring evening sitting outside on the patio planning to smoke a cigar while it was pitch-black outside. I had already cut my cigar but forgot my lighter indoors so I had to go and get it. I had laid the cigar down on the table outside while fetching my lighter indoors and when I got back outside I just picked it up and started lighting what I assumed to be the foot. When I finally tried to smoke it I didn't feel the band anywhere by my fingers and the draw was extremely tight. I realized I had lit the cigar the wrong way in the dark and it was pretty much unsmokable. A true rookie mistake!
Ruben: in the early days of our cigar-smoking we knew as much as that the cigar needed to be cut and it needed to be lit. We had read up plenty on the lighting, the basics at least, to slowly light the cigar and not torch it (though it might not seem like it taking carl's answer into account). However, we had not paid as much attention to how the cutting should be done. Of course, this wasn't embarrassing at the time since we didn't know any better, but looking back at some of the cuts of our cigars I can't help but cringe at how much we took off the top.
As a customer, what do you look for in a cigar retailer?
Good stock, prices, and customer service are highly important to us. Availability and good shipping are also high on our list. It is also always a huge plus if the people behind the shop are also big cigar fans themselves such as you guys!
With the smoking restrictions in almost all places, do you see the private club scene growing?
It's tough to answer for the whole world as regulations vary so drastically between countries, but here in Sweden that certainly is the case. Indoor smoking, as we discussed in a previous question, is greatly restricted so the only viable option is smoking in your home or at a private members club. It is definitely growing here and we don't see that changing anytime soon.
What's your favorite cigar accessory?
Carl: recently it has been the Colibri V-cutter. Even though I have fancier and more expensive cutters around, this thing just cuts cigars like a hot knife through butter! The Perfec Draw tool also comes in handy when smoking Cuban cigars from time to time.
Ruben: every time I get to use my leather carrying case that carl gave me once for my birthday I automatically feel more chipper!
Are you a soft-flame or a torch lighter person?
Carl: I prefer the precision of a torch lighter, as well as the versatility as you can also light cigars outside with some wind.
Ruben: as mainly outdoor smokers the torch lighter often comes in clutch.
Talking about accessories, tell us more about your merchandise. What inspired you to produce it?
This will probably be the least professional story ever haha! When we revealed our new logo that we had spent some time designing, the response was overwhelmingly positive which really warmed our hearts. Some people DM'd us asking if they could buy the logo as a sticker and we went online to make that happen. The site where we created the stickers also automatically created an entire catalog on an online shop with merch with our logo on it. To our surprise tons of people loved it and got hoodies, mugs, and stickers which was absolutely awesome and touching to see!
What is your favorite personality in the cigar community and why?
Carl: I'd have to say chad 'Ochocinco Johnson. The guy is a big lover of cigars, he says they're his only vice in life, and his incredibly kind and positive attitude in life is inspiring! He was also quite the wide receiver in the NFL!
Ruben: I have to second carl here and say, Ochocinco. An extremely fun and active guy on social media, and he even replies.
Fake cigars are a real problem, we see them popping everywhere. What's your take on the counterfeit industry and what can we do to minimize the damage?
We actually posted a video on this exact topic on our youtube channel a few days ago. What a coincidence! It's such a shame that the counterfeit industry is so rampant, especially in Cuba. Some people there live in extremely dire situations so the fact that they'll do anything to make a little money doesn't surprise us, but as cigar lovers, it's so sad to see it affects what we love! I think what we can do mostly is continue to try to help educate people as much as we do. You guys bring a lot of awareness to the issue which is fantastic!
How do you see the future of cigars on social media?
Probably just getting bigger and bigger. As time moves on, younger and younger generations of cigar smokers are introduced to this wonderful passion, and the younger they are the more likely it is that they're present on social media. Hopefully, the community just keeps growing because we love all the amazing interactions and people we've met through social media!
Did something surprise you in the cigar community?
Carl: one thing that immediately pops into my mind was when we did our "face reveal" back in the spring of 2020. We had been posting on our account for two years but we had remained completely anonymous. Part of that decision to stay anonymous was the fact that we didn't know how welcoming and accepting people would be if they saw that it was two 20-year-olds running the account. We thought that people might dismiss us as young, naive, and uninformed merely based on our youth. What really surprised us was how compellingly positive all the reactions were. Not a single person said anything remotely negative when we finally revealed who we were behind the account!
Ruben: so much about the community surprised me since we hadn't really been in the community before we started the page. Before then I had basically only followed the biggest cigar pages out there and hadn't discovered the "real" community like we have today. The biggest surprise is how open and social this community is and also genuinely interested in the hobby. With the results at hand, it's not difficult to understand that such a dedicated community would follow suit from this unique and loveable hobby.
What is the most overrated cigar for you? And the most underrated?
Carl: My Father Le Bijou 1922 Box Pressed torpedo that won cigar of the year a few years back with 97 points was, unfortunately, one of the worst cigars I smoked last year. It had this unpleasant acidity to it that made it very tough to enjoy. A very underrated one I've smoked is the Alonso Menendez Robusto. It has a pretty rustic look as Brazilian Mata Fina tobacco doesn't make great wrapper leaves in an aesthetic viewpoint. It smoked beautifully, however, and is still to this day the most chocolate-heavy cigar I've ever smoked!
Ruben: I don't think I've tried a cigar that I've thought was very overrated. There have been some cigars that have fallen short of expectations but didn't really have anything to do with the public hype around them. An underrated cigar though is the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 which for a very low price was extremely enjoyable, especially paired with a porter. This pairing as a whole is very underrated in my opinion.
What brand have you never smoked and probably never will?
Gurkha. Don't need to drop too much hate on a brand but some of their marketing gimmicks don't sit all too well with us.
What is your "unicorn" cigar?
Carl: I'd love to smoke a pre-revolution Cuban cigar one day. A true relic of history. On a more attainable level perhaps a Cuban Davidoff!
Ruben: a bolivar gold medal would be extremely cool to come across, or getting your hands on one of the 4000 original Cohiba Behikes would leave any cigar-lover speechless.
What are your top 5 favorite cigars?
Carl: so difficult, but I'll just rattle off the 5 best cigars I've smoked decently recently off the top of my head:
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2
Padron 1926 No. 35
Bolivar Belicosos Finos
Rafael Gonzalez North Star
Ruben: in no particular order these are my top 5 regular production cigars:
Juan Lopez No. 2
Romeo y Julieta Churchill
Trinidad Reyes
H. Upmann Magnum 46
Ramon Allones Specially Selected
Finally, do you want to send a message to the community?
Keep being awesome! You guys have accepted us into this community with open arms and made this passion into one of the best parts of our lives. We've never been part of, nor seen any community that is as accepting, positive and kind as the cigar community. Thank you guys for taking something we already love and elevating it to yet another level!

TheRustedChain - The Blog: Shine On!
We want to do so much and yet it can seem overwhelming.
We, alone, can't change everything. We can't rescue the world.
The world can seem dark and depressing. And we can't tackle it all.
But we can make a difference to one. That's all it takes!
One YOU being a light to one other person.
You were not born for mediocrity. Not created for the status quo.
When my kids leave for school each day I yell to them, "Be a shining light for Jesus!"
I want them to step up when they see someone in need.
Pick up books that someone else dropped.
Be a friend to the new kid in class.
Just make a difference to one.
You can change the world, one life at a time. One smile at a time.
One hug at a time. One act of goodness at a time.
I agree completely! It feels overwhelming to try to change the world, but one little thing can make a huge difference!
A wonderful post - a great reminder. Thank you for your uplifting messages. Proud to call you a fellow Kansan!
You look gorgeous! I always tell my kiddos to "love Jesus" as they head out the door.


So... will we actually know when Meghan Markle is having her baby?
A royal photographer thinks we may not find out about the labour until the baby has been born.
Yesterday, the Palace confirmed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are keeping details surrounding the birth of their first baby private.
Whereas Kate Middleton and Prince William's plans were transparent for the public - Kate gave birth to each of her three children at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's hospital in Paddington, London, and the new parents appeared in public with their newborn hours after its arrival each time - Meghan and Harry have decided to flip the script.
In a statement released yesterday, it was revealed that "Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.
Meghan and Harry's plans to keep their birthing plans private signals a change in royal birth tradition from the past few decades, which leads us to wonder... will we even know when Meghan has gone into labour?
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London earlier this morning in the early stages of labour. The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
So will we know when Meghan has gone into labour, if she and Harry would rather keep it all private? According to Shutterstock's royal photographer, Tim Rooke, we may well be unaware of the royal baby's birth until after it's born. SURPRISE!
"Now [the Duke and Duchess of Sussex] are at Windsor, it's more private than Kensington Palace. If you wanted to, you could sit outside Kensington Palace and you could see them leaving. There's only a certain number of entrances," explained Tim.
"But at Windsor, it's in Windsor Park. It's private, so I'm sure they could be taken to a hospital without anybody knowing, and the first you know is when they stick a picture on Instagram," he suggested.
With Meghan and Harry's very own 'Sussex Royal' Instagram account having launched last week, there's been speculation they may use this platform as a means to introduce their baby to the world - and yesterday's statement from the Palace could be in keeping with that.
Royal expert Rebecca English doesn't believe this is the case, however. She tweeted yesterday that she believes the couple will do a media photo call with the royal baby two days after its birth instead.
But Emily Andrews, royal correspondent for The Sun, seems to have intel that the world will be informed when Meghan goes into labour, just like Kate was.
"Once Meghan is in labour, we will be told (like Kate) but the couple will keep where private and won't be appearing 'on the hospital steps' afterwards," Emily wrote on Twitter.
So you can probably rest assured, we won't just be landed with the life-altering announcement out of the blue that Baby Sussex is very much here. We will have some time to compose ourselves ahead of the oncoming excitement. Phew.

Arabs in Israel Split over Homosexuality

Members of political alliance at odds over bill to ban 'conversion therapy'
The Knesset, Israel's parliament, approved in a preliminary reading on Wednesday a bill that would ban "gay conversion therapy" by psychological experts, causing a crisis in the governing coalition and division among the Arab community in the country.
Lawmakers from the 15-member Joint List, an Arab-majority alliance of four political parties, split over the bill.
Three of the Hadash party's five Knesset members supported it, and two did not vote. All four members of the Islamist United Arab List voted against the measure. The remaining Joint List MKs − three from the Balad party and another three from Ta'al − did not vote.
Mansour Dhamshe, an Arab politician and member of Hadash, which was established by the Israeli Communist Party and other leftist groups and includes Arab and Jewish members, told The Media Line that there were differences of opinion over the matter among Arabs in Israel.
"We have the Islamist and conservative people who believe that homosexuality should have a cure, and others who view the issue as one of personal freedom, where the LGBT people should decide for themselves," he said.

He added that some people considered homosexuality an illness yet stressed there were more important matters for the Arab community to concern itself over.
"The Arab street should worry about the increase of violence [i.e., crime] and look for ways to solve that issue before [worrying about] the homosexuality issue," he stated.
The draft law pales in significance when compared to the issues that Arabs in Israel suffer from, given the actions of the current right-wing government, Dhamshe said.
Conversion therapy is generally considered a pseudoscientific practice that employs invalid and often cruel techniques with the aim of changing the subject's homosexual orientation. Experts around the world agree that it can cause psychological harm to patients, including depression and suicidal tendencies.
If passed in full, the bill will prohibit psychological experts from carrying out treatments and impose penalties on those who do so. It will not, however, prohibit rabbis from attempting conversion therapy.
Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List segment of the Joint List, told The Media Line that Arab society was not at all divided over the issue of homosexuality, insisting that the people behind the legislation came from an ideological position that aimed to normalize homosexuality and "encourage it in our Arab society."
Arabs, he continued, were fully aware of how to deal with the phenomenon through their religious principles, whether Islamic, Christian or Druze, as well as through Arab identity and norms.
"Arab society protects its sons and daughters from moral and behavioral deterioration," he stated. "At the same time, it defends [society's] Arab and religious identity, in addition to social cohesion, and protects the family from disintegration and loss."

Ibrahim Bushnaq, an Arab-Israeli journalist, stressed to The Media Line that the division of the Arab street reflected divisions in the leadership and within the Joint List.
"The Arab community is divided for a reason, and a big part of that has to do with the fact that the Joint List itself isn't united," he explained.
Bushnaq believes the Knesset faction should unite in order to improve the situation of the Arabs in Israel.
"In the end, people differ, and each segment of society will express itself the way it wants – and they have the right to criticize what they want," he noted. "But I believe that part of the people's anger is over the division in their leadership more than over the issue itself."
Bushnaq adds that he sees the issue as an unnecessary distraction from more urgent matters.

Contratto was founded in 1867 by Giuseppe Contratto and the winery is known as the oldest producer of sparkling wine in Italy. In fact, the "Metodo Classico" 1919 Contratto Extra Brut was the first vintage sparkling wine ever made in the country.
The winery has a long, distinguished history. At the turn of the 20th century, its wines were leaving Canelli for destinations all over the world (predominantly to royal houses), and Contratto was the personal supplier to the Vatican as well as to the Italian Royal Family. Awards and medals from international exhibitions and contests of the time emphasize why the name of Contratto has long been synonymous with prestige and quality in the world of sparkling wine.
In 150 years of winemaking, Contratto went from producing Moscato and red wine to Spumante Metodo Classico, still white wines, as well as Vermouth, Tonic and Syrups. The historic cathedral cellars at Contratto, now designated a UNESCO Heritage Site, are a real treasure, and among the finest of their kind. These huge underground cellars, covering more than 5,000 square meters, were built into the heart of the hill that protects the small town of Canelli, excavated from tuff limestone to a depth of 32 meters. The project took three years of manual work to finish. The cellars maintain a constant annual temperature of 12 to 13 degrees and sufficient natural humidity, an ideal environment for bottle fermentation and the slow and steady bottle maturation of "metodo clasico" sparkling-wines. For many generations the winery remained in the hands of the Contratto family. In 1993, after 126 years and somewhat in decline, it was sold to Carlo Bocchino, owner of Canelli's grappa distillery of the same name, who undertook the restoration of these historic cellars and the impressive building and tasting rooms with great effort and investment.
Bocchino will now return to concentrate his efforts and resources on the family distillery. "I am glad to have been able to leave Contratto to the Rivettis, who are people from the same land" states Bocchino. "I would not have wanted to see the cellars end up in the back of a large group or multinational's catalogue."
For La Spinetta on the other hand, the acquisition of Contratto represents the entry into one of the top Italian sparkling wine houses, by way of a prestigious brand whose production from Asti DOCG to Brut, have greatly influenced the history of Italian Spumante, and whose potential is yet to be fully expressed. "We are very excited to have acquired this important facility," says Giorgio Rivetti. "It was important for us to enter into this market, and to do so with a famous brand. From now on, we can play an active role in making Contratto known throughout the world, thanks to our own high profile abroad. Italian sparkling wine does not yet enjoy the recognition it deserves on the international scene. Now, we will be able to bring the wine onto all the international markets, along with our Barbaresco, Barolo and Moscato. There are some real treasures hidden in these cellars."
