I honestly don't remember WHAT cigar that was...that was back in December.

To be honest, I smoke an average of 8-10 cigars per week here at the office (more if we're evaluating blends)...just seems that whenever I have a pic taken it's at a party/event where I'm often times trying to get a quick nicotine 'bump' to stay up/alert.

Yeah, I smoke cigars AND cigarettes--so sue me.

Like many of you, I used to be into every new 'lighter'/cigar accessory.

One of the 'perks' of my job is that I accumalated a virtual drawer-full of lighters over the years--all gratis. Then, about 5 years ago I visited our factories in Nicaragua and Honduras for the first time.

When I saw people like Nestor Plasencia, Fidel Olivas, Carlos Torano, et al--giants in the tobacco industry--all using a simple bic lighter to light their cigars, I said to myself, "who are YOU to use a (insert-triple-flame-hi-tech-gizmo-of-the-moment-lighter-with-GPS-system here)?!"

Ever since that trip, I've only carried a simple bic in my pocket for daily use. Incidentally, you'd be hard-pressed to find a 'cutter' at the factory--nearly everyone 'pinches' the caps off their cigars down there.

That might be easy if you actually have fingernails. I on the other hand, chew my nails and cut my cigars. LOL

Yeah, you can say I "collect" tattoos. ha!

To date, I have a full sleeve on my right arm...half-sleeve on my left...right chest done...stomach, too. Oh, and I have a smaller piece on my left shoulder.

It's all a work in progress--but I can honestly say that I have NEVER regretted ANY of my pieces. Each one tells a story in my life.

One of my pet peeves is people who say, "What are you going to look like with all those tattoos when you're 70??"

My thing is...if you're gonna live your 'today' for what you're gonna maybe look like 30-40 years down the road, then you're fooling yourself--live for TODAY! Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

Rock on! \m/

You need me to send you a pack of these Illinois three ring circus Cigarette's... they'll go out 3 times while smoking one, and if you puff on it to hard the cherry will fall off in your lap...

I'm down to about a pack or 25 cigs a day now... when I want/crave one I think to myself about the Joke they are to enjoy.. but my cigar smoking has increased a bit in the evenings...
