Lowball Watch — Louisiana

An acquaintance sent us a copy of a judgment which discloses that on a condemnor’s deposit of $335,287, a Louisiana trial court awarded $1,397,500, plus interest on the $1,o62,213 difference. The County of Concordia, or the parish as they call it over there, vows to appeal.

Biglane v. Board of Commissioners, Docket No. 44712-B, judgment filed on April 25, 2017.

. . . But a CBD-Infused Cigar Is Still Smoke

In the words of the late Jimmy Durante, “Everybody wants to get into the act!”

Espinosa Cigars Eminent Domain

The cigar company says that the “Eminent Domain” is a CBD-infused vape cigar combo and is being released in a single 6 x 50 toro vitola, priced at $9.50 per cigar and packed in 10 count boxes. The company made the project in partnership with Royal CBD (what seems to be a company selling CBD e-liquids, but not cigars) and  is not disclosing the blend of the cigar, other than to say that the wrapper is a “rustic habano” and that it is a medium bodied cigar with CBD.

And the Winner Is . . .
