Know better, but cain't let thet stop me, tried picturing what the poor girl in the photo might look like in a full length picture.
With two limbs with knees on the upper body she would be forced to walk upside down and backwards if she was to be able to see in the direction she was moving.

On the other hand if the one arm and one leg on the upper body,to keep it symmetrical were matched with the same,and on opposing sides, moving about would mean something worse than a crablike way of travel,even if all four limbs were of equal lenghts.

This led me to conclude that the person who provided that "precis/..... caption"
may well have originaly been from one of those countries when every other week someone is born with a tail growing from their chest and is regarded as a god.

I quit reading, or rather trying to read, one of our local newspapers when a story of a visiting head of state was pictured being greeted by dignitaries upon arrival at an airport.
The picture used,about a 5x7 inch photo, showed an attractive girl in a bikini on a beach,this ran in all editions of that newspaper that day.

George do you think there might be any chance that the estemed Dr.Hue Ming might be persuaded to provide some insight as to the true nature of the girl's "Knee' injury?

Now to justify inclusion in this thread, you will have to smoke something while constructing a reply. A slow burning Churchill sized cigar,or perhaps a pipe or two is advised.Along with something to drink of course.
I'm off to smoke and drink whilst pondering once again the plight of this injured child wearing the mask to protect herself from the second hand smoke of those reading the story.

Bob, as I read your post, puffing a SWAG Puro Dominicano Infamous and nursing a Bar Hopper IPA from South Street Brewery under a full moon, many thoughts come to mind.

The comment about the girl with too many knees, having to walk upside down and backward, brings to mind my brother's dog. Poor mutt is so ugly, my brother shaved the dog's hindquarters and taught it to walk backward. Said it was less embarrassing.

I have no idea when those dignitaries visited. If it was during the administration of President Bill Clinton, that picture may be from the actual event. Sounds like the kind of person Slick Willie would have invited and welcome with open...arms. (yes, let's go with arms)

I feel comfortable saying, if the good doctor were offered some grant money, she would surely publish some finding, whether she knew anything about this, or not.

Having a nice Brohiba from a batch I assembled in February. I normally let them rest a bit longer, but my previous batches have been depleted

Anyway, this one has a PA wrapper (natural, not Shade or Broadleaf, from Larry in KY), KY Dark Air binder, and a mix of Latin American leaves for filler.

Enjoying it with a bit of cactus whisky on a cool northern VA evening

A review, a most enjoyable read. when I think of large cigars, it's the 6 -7 8 inchers with the plus , plus sized circumference. This one has to look huge.
But your write up certainly makes it sound like one well worth trying.by contrast I had to smoke my first cigar of the day indoors, with aircon working
tho it smoked well, missed being out doors. Enjoyed my second smoke on the front porch along with some good hot coffee and quiet, much better picked up the day a good bit.
If needed think I could forego smoking for a day, unlikely tho. But the Coffee, that I would not want to miss.
Thanks for this interesting read.

Bob, you are correct that this is one very fat cigars. I really don't have a problem with large ring size cigars, but since this is a very powerful full bodied cigar I would have preferred a smaller ring size. I had been interested in this cigar for a while and I saw it on CBID and I put out a low bid not thinking that I would get it, but I got it. I will admit that this cigar was constructed extremely well and the box was absolutely beautiful. When my wife saw these cigars she told me in a very serious voice that this cigar box was hers and not to be taken out to the garage to be used for screws, nails or nuts etc. It really surprised me when she told me that she enjoyed the aroma of the cigar. Dang-it what else can a cigar lover wish for.

When your wife likes the box and the smell of the cigar thats something right there.
Congrats.

Now that's interesting, I didn't know the Grimalkin was a Pepin. Wouldn't have guessed at the start, but that last little bit tasted more Pepin-y to me.

And you can't beat the Moose! Best of the best of the best, sir!

Indeed those do deliver value for the $ even at the Astronomically high price.

Certainly Dr. Hue Ming, if provided with a Substantial grant would in her unmatchable style deliver a paper that would further embellish her standing as one of the most respected researchers of this century. One can only hope that she shall receive whatever $um required for her to devote the time to, in her clear and concise, not to mention beautifully constructed prose still another study for her multitude of fans to marvel at that might stand alongside some of her ground breaking research that has so entranced the academic world to date.

Paul Stulac Ghost...6x58. Smoked while watching the fights on HBO tonight, Cholotito vs Arroyo was a real treat and GGG continued to demonstrate just how good he is. The cigar along with a wee bit of Rum and coke was equally as enjoyable as the boxing, so a good evening, so far.
