OK, the wife I got into an argument a few nights ago. It's been simmering and stewing and finally reached a sizzle yesterday.
The standard around here is that if somebody is wrong, and their ego will allow for it, a gift is given. So, as you can probably imagine, I'm generally on the "gifter" side of things and she is often the "giftee".
Well, tonight, it so happens, I was afforded the luxury of being right for a change. It sometimes pays to stick to your guns when the ammo supplies are in your favor.
So, she comes home from work with a small package for me. I open it up and two Pinar 1958 Series B Pre-Embargos fall out. What better way to say I'm sorry, dear than to offer your mate a couple 'a nice cigars.
And nice they were. Although, they're mixed with 50% dominican filler, they supposedly contain 50% sanctioned Cuban tobacco (I did my research after smoking...sometimes instant gratification overtakes curiousity). Of course, while it doesn't have the potency of a 100% Cuban, it's flavors were out of this world. Note: I said "flavors", and as a typical one-dimensional, cigar smokin' newbie...I could tell the difference.
Well, the wife and I are talking again. I just smoked a very nice peace offering. And now, I'm topping it off with my favorite pre-bed treat, a heaping bowl of Ben and Jerry's.
If life gets any better, heaven can't be too far away.
