pWotD Episode 2981: Hess triangle Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 288,058 views on Monday, 30 June 2025 our article of the day is Hess triangle.The Hess triangle is a triangular, 500-square-inch (3,200 cm2) plot of private land in the middle of a public sidewalk at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Christopher Street in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The plot is an isosceles triangle covered by a mosaic plaque that reads "Property of the Hess Estate which has never been dedicated for public purposes." The Hess Triangle is the result of a dispute between the city government and the estate of David Hess, a landlord from Philadelphia who owned the Voorhis, a five-story apartment building. In the early 1910s, the city claimed eminent domain to acquire and demolish 253 buildings in the area in order to widen Seventh Avenue and expand the IRT subway. By 1913, the Hess family had exhausted all legal options. However, according to Ross Duff Wyttock writing in the Hartford Courant in 1928, Hess's heirs identified that a small corner of Plot 55 had been excluded during the city’s seizure of the Voorhis property and subsequently filed a notice of possession. The city asked the family to donate the diminutive property to the public, but they chose to hold out and installed the present, defiant mosaic on July 27, 1922.In 1938 the property, reported to be the smallest plot in New York City, was sold to the adjacent Village Cigars store (United Cigars at that time) for US$100 (equivalent to $2,234 in 2024). Later, Yeshiva University came to own the property, including the Hess Triangle, and in October 1995 it was sold by Yeshiva to 70 Christopher Realty Corporation. Subsequent owners have left the plaque intact. The triangle and Village Cigars shop behind it were placed on sale in 2021.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 15:24 UTC on Tuesday, 1 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Hess triangle on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

United Cigars always has a lot of new activity at their booth, and the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was no exception.

The #2 2023 Cigar of the Year is the Alfonso Extra Añejo No. 2 by Selected Tobacco. In 2022, Selected Tobacco launched a fourth brand in the Alfonso portfolio. Alfonso gets its name from Nelson Alfonso, who is the owner of Selected Tobacco. For the past decade, Selected Tobacco has been known for its three other brands: Atabey, Bryon, and Bandolero – all of which are distributed in the U.S. market by United Cigars. Alfonso is an ultra-premium brand that revolves around exquisite packaging and extra aging. The first line to be released under the Alfonso brand was the Alfonso Extra Añejo. The name Añejo is appropriate because it means “aged.” It's the No. 2 size that lands at the #2 spot. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-rim

The #24 2023 Cigar of the Year is the Red Anchor Admiral by United Cigars. Red Anchor is a line that was brought back by United Cigars in 2022. According to United Cigars, the brand has over 250 years of history. In 1770, Red Anchor was the first registered trademark for a cigar shop; in 1772, it was the first cigar brand ever created. By 1937, the brand was dormant. A few years ago, United Cigars' owner David Garofalo, who has an affinity for cigar history, acquired the trademark so he could resurrect the brand. In 2022, the Red Anchor was brought back to coincide with the brand's 250th anniversary. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-r5X

In this episode of the Cigar Hustlers Podcast, we dive into the world of cigars, where diversity is not only about rich blends and aromas but also about the voices that represent the industry. Mike "BDP" Palmer's recent promotion to Director of Social Media at Cigar Hustler has made waves, with some media outlets remaining silent and others acknowledging the achievement. We discuss how Cigar Inspector, a platform committed to celebrating diverse voices and recognizing significant developments in the cigar world, stood out by embracing and endorsing Mike "BDP" Palmer's promotion. This move highlights the importance of inclusivity and supporting various voices within the cigar industry. In addition to this insightful discussion on diversity in the cigar community, we also cover some exciting industry news, including United Cigars creating special boxes for Veterans Day, Pat Potter's restructuring of Tabac Trading Co.'s ownership, and the arrival of Le Pâtissier No. 2 in stores. Gotham Cigars has also added a new 5 Boroughs line to their collection. We take a look at E.P. Carrillo's Escapade Project launching on November 1st, the release of HVC Black Friday 2023, and Foundation shipping Charter Oak Pasquale & Pegnataro to retailers. To add a bit of humor to the episode, we share a quirky news story about a Florida man finding an unexpected guest in his toilet – an iguana! Join us in celebrating the diversity that makes the world of cigars vibrant and exciting and explore the latest developments in the cigar community. Cheers to inclusivity, recognition, and unity in the world of cigars!
United Cigars came into the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show with two brand expansions. In a world where the "one and done" limiteds are quite popular, it was nice to see United Cigars focus on two of its brands which will have ongoing regular production releases. One thing United Cigars has done quite well with the cigars it produces and distributes is to provide something for every cigar enthusiast. This year, the brand expansions hit both ends of the spectrum - this includes adding four new sizes to its ultra-premium Red Anchor brand and a new regular production offering to its Firecracker brand with the Black Bomb Firecracker. Both of these brand expansions continue to strengthen United Cigars as an attractive portfolio for many retailers to bring in. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-pYb

Is one cigar worth 2X the other? It's a "Big Brother Versus Little Brother" showdown! Join Boveda's Rob Ganger and Nate Beck as they compare 2 sticks from United Cigars' storied line of cigars. Boveda are those brown 2-way humidity packs you put in a humidor to preserve cigars. When you own a humidor, you need to make sure the cigars inside stay well-humidified or they can be hard to light, burn to too fast or get moldy. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll get better flavor from a cigar. Boveda has been keeping cigars tasting great for more than 25 years.
