MIAMI – August 23, 2018 – Plasencia Cigars, one of the world’s largest, high-profile tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers, is expanding its distribution to Canada through its partnership with the Scandinavian Tobacco Group Canada (STG Canada). Effective Aug. 27th, STG Canada will administer the distribution, sales, and promotion of Plasencia Cigars’ products in stores across Canada.
“We’re very excited to build on our company’s success by going into this market with STG Canada, a distinguished leader in the industry,” said Nestor Andrés Plasencia, CEO of Plasencia Cigars. “Canadian consumers have been long anticipating the arrival of Plasencia Cigars that our family has been proudly crafting for over 150 years. Serving our customers has always been our first priority, and we can’t wait for Canadian consumers to finally enjoy our products.”
Under this new partnership, Plasencia Cigar products will be distributed to over 500 stores, including consumer favorites like Plasencia Cosecha 146, Reserva 1898, Reserva Original, Alma Fuerte and Alma Del Campo.
“We have been fans of Plasencia Cigars for years,” said Sylvain Laporte, president of STG Canada. “We couldn’t be happier to welcome the Plasencia family into our own, and I’m sure Canadians will appreciate the diversity and high quality of these new cigars.”

Adriana’s Insurance: New Federal Laws – Eco-Friendly California
Proposed Federal Laws Could Negatively Impact California’s Eco-Friendly Laws
On August 02, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice of proposed rulemaking called the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026, Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (SAFE Vehicles Rule). This proposed rule is designed to reconfigure national automobile fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards by suspending previously established anti-pollution manufacturing restrictions for automobiles. While the SAFE Vehicles Rule hasn’t yet been ratified as official policy, if approved, it would ultimately deprive individual states of the prerogative to maintain tailpipe pollution standards which are stricter than the federal government’s – a scenario that would drastically impede nationwide eco-friendly auto-manufacturing.
Opponents of the SAFE Vehicles Rule argue that it is detrimental to the cause of environmental conservation. This is because the rule essentially absolves automakers of the obligation to produce fuel-efficient cars, thereby encouraging them instead to abandon eco-friendly engineering practices. For example, previous regulations direct automakers to amplify the fuel economy of passenger vehicles to an average of 54 miles per gallon by 2025. Under the SAFE Vehicles Rule, this objective to work towards improving fuel-efficiency will no longer be prioritized. The rule will also eliminate mandatory requirements that automakers dedicate resources to develop greener vehicles such as electric cars and hybrids.
If any of the changes proposed by the SAFE Vehicles Rule sound objectionable to you, there is still an opportunity to make a difference on the final version of this proposed regulation. Full-text of the rule itself is available on the EPA’s website, and the rule has also been tabled for public comment via www.regulations.gov (

Type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes)
Putting an end to T1D, one step at a time
Our team is walking to end type 1 diabetes (T1D).
When you have T1D, your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves monitoring your blood-sugar level, administering insulin, and carefully balancing these insulin doses with your eating and activity just to stay alive.
With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.
So, will you join us? Your fundraising or donation not only changes lives for people with T1D but joining JDRF One Walk will change your own life. The inspiration and fun you experience on that day will stick with you, and the pride you can take for your role will last a lifetime.
Thank you for your support.

If you asked anyone knowledgeable how many people currently inhabit our planet, they would easily approximate a figure of around 7.4 billion people. Answering the question of why we’re here, why we exists, can spawn an endless stream of theories and conjecture. Truth be told, the answer isn’t necessarily all that complicated. Out of everything humanity could possibly strive for, when all is said and done, we exist to do achieve one prime ideal – that is, to love.

10 Official CA Vehicle Laws That Will Make You Scratch Your Head
California Insurance Services from Adriana’s
A wise person once said that “Common Sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it.” This may sound like a silly joke, but the sad truth is that it’s impossible to measure how much trouble people regularly get into, simply because they don’t have the logical skills to practice basic common sense. In fact, some argue that the main reason why society passes laws is to make it easier for people in general to make commons sense decisions… there’s only one problem though. What happens when lawmakers themselves have a brain fart and lose their common sense when passing laws? The answer’s simple. You get a bunch of rules that are impossible to break, and hilarious to read every time. Check out a few of California’s most bizarre traffic laws:
1. It’s a misdemeanor to fire a gun at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
2. If you live in Downey, CA, don’t wash your car if it’s parked on a street unless you’re ready to pay a huge fine.
3. It’s against the law in Walnut, CA to place rocks or sand on a driveway.
4. Vehicles are the only thing you’re allowed to store in garages if you live at Long Beach.
5. It’s illegal in San Francisco to wipe a car with used underwear. Because… why not?
6. No vehicle without a driver behind the wheel can exceed speeds of 60 mph (although this one might not be all that weird considering the progress being made with autonomous vehicles).
7. It’s illegal in Los Angeles for a person to wash their neighbor’s car without permission.
8. If you’re a woman, don’t even think about operating a vehicle in your PJs. California law forbids women from wearing house coats while driving.
9. Arcadia, CA allows peacocks to have the right of way on all streets and driveways, at all times.
10. You need a special permit to park your car overnight on the street in Alhambra, CA.
Rules don’t always make sense. However, there is one common sense rule that every driver should definitely see some value in. That is, no driver should ever own or operate a vehicle without ensuring they have auto insurance to protect themselves.
