A Little Gift From The Dark Side

A business associate was going on vacation to Cuba. He asked me how and where to buy cigars there and what to look for. I spent about an hour with him showing him web pages, telling him the ins & outs of what to look for, where to get good (meaning real) cigars and other info.

He just left my office after dropping of a little "Thank You" for me in the form of a Cohiba Robusto, an RyJ #2 Tubo and a 5er of RyJ Short Churchills.

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Summer!!!!

He is a friend, indeed, for he has proven himself to you and shown himself not to be selfish. Congratulations! You have some excellent smokes and the greater treasure of a true friend.

Enjoy the smoke,
Don

Okay, I have to ask since this has been a topic of much discussion lately - does the band on the No. 2 say "Desde 1875" like it does on the Short Churchills, please?

BTW, nice blow to political correctness with your username - although I don't think that the American equivalent would go over too well ... or maybe I've been too long in Ottawa.

I ain't one of "dem guys" who are ashamed to be called a Newfie. I'm daymed proud of it and hopefully have yaught my daughter to be the same way.

Oh I'm sure one of the others hiding in the bottom of the humis can find it's way to yours. To each their own, but regifting isn't a thing I do. I'll band these as to who they came from and think of a good friend whenever I smoke one.

I'm surrounded by Newfs at work, and go to NL annually for Targa Newfoundland. Some people are really sensitive about "come-from-away's" using it, others don't give a flying ....

All I know is George Street is one of the reasons that I'm proud to be Canadian.
