Ok,My wife works with the lady who is about 70 and she has a "man friend" who is 89, who loves cigars. I had given him a couple toranos adn such and had asked if he had ever had an ISOM. Not in those words, but you get the drift.

Anyway......

He told me that there was a time when he used to go to cuba and get cigars there and hadn't had one since then. Almost 50 years.

So I had one PSD4 left, Thanks to Cavallo, that I put in a Don Tomas tube (I'm so mean. LOL!) and gave it to him.

The look on his face when he realized what it was, was absolutely priceless. I thought for a moment he was going to cry. He refused to light it up, as he promised me he would smoke it on the 4th of July.

I wanted to share this with you all, as for one, Cavallo did me a favor when I was looking for some and to show that sometimes, a persons actions indirectly profoundly affect others. Because of Cavallo's generosity, an old man who greatly deserved it was made very happy.

This 4th, I will get to smoke with someone who has seen more things in his lifetime than I can imagine and watch as he enjoys one of the best (in my opinion) cigars ever made. 🙂

I try to live by a line from a Neil Young song and it always works for me...

"a little love and affection, in every thing you do, will make the world a better place with or without you."

Sounds just about right to me and I wish everyone would do the same.

(p.s. my wife thinks I am the only conservative hippy alive, can this possibly be true?)

Well, I got a chance to talk about things that I can only have imagined about.

When a man is almost 90 years old and has done alot of things in his life, he has tremendous stories. LOL!

He LOVED the PSD4 and is now pissed at me, cause he wants more of them. LOL!!

It was a great night.

I am going to post a picture of our view on the 4th. : )

Great Story 0patience,

Glad he enjoyed the PSD#4, they are my favorite ISOM. If you get the chance to try the EL #2 or #3, they are great as well.

Hey Lukin, you wrote. "my wife thinks I am the only conservative hippy alive, can this possibly be true?)"

Nope,

There is at least 2 of us. LOL

make that three.....only we didn't like the hippy moniker...we preferred freaks, as we would kick butt when needed.....some things never change, plenty of butt kicking still needed in this world
