I'm gonna get emotional for a sec:
I was hanging out at the local shop (as I always do), and it popped in my head this evening. I was looking around the room with the usual Friday crowd, smoking and enjoying great stimulating conversation. I started thinking about how most of these guys were real "big money" people, yet we were all there as one big friendly group. One of the best things about my relatively new "hobby" is that I felt very welcome in that group. No matter what my upbringing or my social status was, I was part of the group. I was accepted, and liked for who I am. It was then that I realized why I love that group, as well as this group of people. We are all one big happy family of cigar smokers.
That is all. Thanks for listening.
