I have a theory that cigar smoking makes people... better. Sitting down for an hour or two with a good cigar (and good friends, whenever possible) is better for the soul than an hour or two on any therapist's couch. It has a way of putting the rest of your day in perspective. It's a chance to relax and think, while enjoying one of life's truly luxurious experiences.
I joined a couple of online cigar forums last month, Puff.com and Brothers of the Leaf. Both sites are wonderful, full of friendly, helpful (and generous!) members. I love both sites and I sincerely hope that I can contribute in some small way to the character and camaraderie of both.
Yesterday, I returned home from work to find that Termite (aka Mark) from Puff.com had taken it upon himself to help a new member (me!) feel welcome. Inside my mailbox was a Ronson JetLite cigar lighter, a mesh bag of gel kitty litter (which, I recently learned, makes a very reliable humidifier for a humidor) and five great smokes:
- Diesel (Unholy Cocktail: 5" x 56)
- CAO Gold Maduro (Churchill: 7" x 48)
- La Libertad (Churchill: 6.5" x 50)
- Gurkha Micro Batch (Liga TPB-1 Lonsdale: 6.5" x 44)
- Nica Libre (Torpedo: 6" x 52)
Someday, and soon, I'll be putting together a nice little bundle and blasting some poor, unsuspecting noob's mailbox to smithereens. See what I mean? It's catching!
