Thank You
The whining about overbidding for a short story caused me to search the local shops for one to try. One near my workplace had a Classic. I was about to walk out of the humidor with it when I asked my usual question: "Do you have any OPUS?" I got the usual response "NO".
But the guy walked over to a locker and opened it. I figured he was gonna show me one... But he brought out 2 Mini Belicosos. I dropped the Hemingway on the floor, stepped on it, and ran over to him. He told me not to tell anyone because he only had 1 left. So I crammed them into my pocket. (he gave me the same look that Aberdeen gave the cigar licker.) At the register he gave me a baggie and told me that I might want to put them inside the bag instead. I went to all of the other main humidors in town and none had any more. (they said) I did drop by the firestation to tell our local HERO, Jazzman where he can try and get one. And I bought a short story for $6.15.
Thanks again whiners, I paid retail for 3 cigars. $27.00 I will smoke the short story at PTs right now. Spending another $20 for a table dance that lasts 3 mins. (Boobs or gars, Which is the better deal?)
