Improv Everywhere 2 deer and a turkey to Va. governor, and Indian tribes' tax debt is sealed once again RICHMOND - In honor of Thanksgiving, the president of the United States gets to pardon a turkey each year. In Virginia, the Thanksgiving tradition comes a bit more . . . deceased. In a ceremony that traces its roots to a 333-year-old treaty between Native Americans and the British crown, chiefs of the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Indian tribes gave Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) two deer and a turkey in lieu of taxes. The animals were shot Tuesday on the tribes' reservations in King William County - the oldest reservations in the United States - and presented to the governor on Wednesday, trussed up on two tree boughs, on the brick driveway of the executive mansion in Richmond. "On behalf of the people of Virginia, I accept this tribute," McDonnell said, as Chief Carl Custalow of the Mattaponi and Chief Robert Gray of the Pamunkey presented the animals to McDonnell and his wife, Maureen. In years past, the game has then been donated to the homeless.

Cigars come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The ring gauge of the cigar (exactly what it sounds like, think finger size) also plays into the complexity of the smoke.
