It'd be a bit of a change of pace for him if he is ... he really liked a lot of different crappy cigars, mostly because they were cheap ... early on in my time here, I saw him give a favorable review of some cigars that were made in the Phillapines ... I bought 10 of 'em ... smoke one, realized they were absolutely terrible and sent the rest to Rick ... got a note back asking me how I knew he liked those so much ... despite he and I being polar opposites politically, we got on really well ... my first hint that something was amiss with him was when I tried to wish him a happy birthday last August ... it took quite a while, a lot of emails and many calls before I found out he'd passed ... I truly miss him ...
