I Ruined a Friend
The other week a friend told me a story about a hunting trip he recently took in Canada. There was another hunter with him who was enjoying a good cigar, apparently a $26 stick and he asked me if you can tell the difference in a high end cigar.

After educating my friend about quality of cigars and the price you pay it all comes down to taste. About a week later I ran into him at a local "smoking allowed" private club. Knowing that he was a newbie when it came to cigars I handed him a La Aroma de Cuba. I explained to him it's not an expensive cigar but definitely a step above a White Owl. We sat there for about an hour enjoying our cigars. I watched his reaction and he did alright without turning green.

Its been 3 weeks since our meeting and today I received a call on my way home from work. He was calling me from my local B&M asking what type of cigar I gave him at the club. He left with $40 worth of cigars and a new cutter. He's ruined.

Your one rung above a crack dealer. I see you shrewdly gave him his first "fix" for free, and now this addiction will be taking over his life....

Re: I Ruined a Friend
I wouldn't be overly concerned about your friend. I would, however, be greatly concerned about his spouse, if he has one...

Do you remember the cigar you were smoking when you said to yourself "I think this will not be my last cigar" ? This friend of your will.
