My Mom is getting married. Her and her husband to be came over last night to have dinner. They came bearing gifts for the kids and Rick hands me a box of Cohibas (about half full). He tells me he got them on a trip to the Dominican. We went inside and I started inspecting my new gars. Well these things were looking rough. They were dry and sure enough round holes going through the celo and cigars (Beatles). That sucks. Well I didn't have the heart to say anything. He over course had heard all about my humidors and this obsession of mine so he wanted to check things out. I was just glad he didn't ask why I hadn't put the Cohibas in the humidor.
It really was an awesome thought on his part. I am very happy for my Mom. She is in her mid-fifties which I do not consider old by any means in this day and age but I think she needed someone to share these years with.

I did not try to salvage these cigars. I think he got these cigars like a year ago and they were not keep in a humidor. Just in the original box. They were in very rough shape like I said and everyone of them seem to of been had by the beatles. I already took them outside and threw them in the trash. It hurt to do this but I have several hundred other cigars health to think of. Next time he goes to the dominican I will tell him to ship them direct to me.

Its the thought that counts. He problably isnt a real cigar smoker and does not know any better.

Don't worry about it. They weren't real. Cohibas don't come in cello.

Hmmmm - Cohiba's in cellophane. Were they suppose to be Cubans or just Red Dots. Anyway - it's the thought that counts. I would have just smiled, said thanks - and dispose of later.

Sounds like a good guy. They were, no doubt, DR Cohibas.

It was a great jesture. Showed some thought on his part. He sounds like a great guy.

[Baric]

Nice gesture-youll probably find hell give you a few more presents of cigars now that he knows you like them. I thought they were Red dots by the description?

A very nice thought. Congrats to your mom

Ok Moon, You probably didn't think I knew about this board!! I see that you threw my gift away. Well, I smoked a couple of those Cohiba's before I gave them to you and I thought they were great. The only downside was when the beatles ran into my mouth once the cigar got hot. I just spit them out and kept going.

Your next Father In-Law,
Rick

PS - Thanks for dinner.
