The cigar of the week on Cigar Aficionado is, of course, a Cuban, which kills me. I sometimes wish our nation would come down with, what I’m going to call, “Dispute Alzheimer’s.” Then we could import Cuban goods, and I could have a Montecristo No. 2

Today I sat and read three essays of Ortega y Gasset’s, and now I find a better understanding of the masses, and the common man. I feel an entirely different view on many things than I had.

I can’t help but wonder on the idea of [...]
