We all know that cigars are the staff of life, a relaxing, celebratory ritual that keeps us sane and gives us moments of contemplation and connection. So I'm putting this out to you - what do you remember as a special cigar moment? Kind of like a Kodak moment with smoke rings! Lay it on me!

One day, when I was just a small lad, I was outdoors playing, when a friend of my fathers tossed a lit cigar out of the window. I remeber seeing "Phillies" on the band and picked it up and took a puff.

"what a piece of poop!" I thought. How true, how true....

Well, a few years back at my last job (no pun intended) I had this spicy little number just sitting there on my desk. And she had a 9 inch torpedo in her hands. Cuban, if I remember correctly. Well, I'd tell you the rest but you wouldn't believe me. Let's just say that I didn't inhale...

That was too good! LOL

Five or so years ago, my first hunting trip, dove hunting. Shot my first one, found it after 20 minutes of searching through brush, and fired up a tasty Indian Tabac (back BEFORE Habana 2000 wrappers). Shot 2 or 3 more with the Tabac hanging out of my mouth. I thought I was Clint Eastwood. Later, after cleaning the birds, fired up a JR Ultimate dbl-maduro to go with ice-cold beer. What a great time!

God, that sounds good!
