And finally, before boxing, the cigar is inserted into the nether regions of a Brazilian supermodel where it is held at ideal humidity (and pH) for 21 days (for obvious reasons) while high-intensity aerobic exercise is performed by the supermodel daily.

I'm thinking we haven't heard from the guy that bought the Mayan cigars for awhile. Wonder if he had some scientist test one and got similar results.

Yes, Hillary last made a bid for the summit in 2016.  It was widely expected to be a success, and all forecasts were consistently good.  Then she was buried in a "landslide".

Bill was, as usual, at the (third) base camp.

Must be an old article - at $18000 a box I'd take 10 boxes right away ....
That is the price they went for at release.
