The Monday Sweet Spot – 11/02/2015
We’ve all hit that point during a smoke, usually about half way through, in which the cigar’s flavors and aromas open up and transform the experience into something far more rich, complex, and enjoyable.

99-Year-old Wins Shopping Spree at Dollar Store
and Uses It For Needy Kids
Given a free shopping spree for her 99th birthday, this woman filled her cart not for herself, but with stocking stuffers for needy kids.
Donna Goldstein is a weekly fixture at the California 99-cent store in Beverly Grove, where the staff knows and appreciates her kind heart.

Goldstein filled up a cart with $163 worth of items — a huge haul when nothing in the store costs more than a dollar. She’s taking the load to her church where the items will be boxed up for needy kids this Christmas.
She says she already knows it will be appreciated.
“I’m going to cry I’m so happy,” Goldstein told KTLA News.
