My daughter (Nina-26) surprised me with this gift...... Her co-worker does woodwork in his spare time, so she used the Texas Revolution Flag as a platform to create some pretty cool Cigar-Art The specs are 2' X 4' The Cigar is made from a tree limb, added a cap, stained it, and voila !!!! I really Enjoy AND Appreciate it, hope you guys/gals do too.

Every odd Monday or so, several of us get together to enjoy some cigars and catch up. This Monday was a bit different. Alex had stood up and wanted everyone's attention. He was holding a box of cigars, which I couldn't make out. I figured he was going to make some announcement about something good that happened in his life and that cigars were going to be passed around. It turns out he was holding this. And it was a gift to me from the whole crew. Apparently this is something Keith started and he enlisted several other partners in crime. It was a token of appreciation to me for setting up various herfs and get togethers year round. A big Thank You to everyone involved. I am humbled and grateful for such good friends. Here are some shots of the Marquez in all its' glory. I must say, they are stunning looking cigars the aroma is all fruit and spice cake. These will get some proper sleep as the box code is very fresh. SGA SEP 16. I hope to sample one for next summer. Thanks again to everyone involved. It made my night.

Good morning/afternoon/evening dear friends, I thought I share a feel-good story to gladden the heart of many Habanos enthusiasts on our forum. A few days ago one of my students learnt that my birthday was coming up. Well, word got out quickly and the class managed to design and write a multi-page happy birthday card, with the assistance of my brilliant teacher assistant/aide. A few students even got small gifts, they didn't have to, I was overwhelmed. I thought to myself how good the day was yesterday, when a Cuban mother of the striker in my school soccer team, which I coach during the winter season, gave me this below for my birthday... How was it? Well, like you're thinking, I had my reservations but I've read enough of Ray's (Pigfish) posts to not be too concerned by cigars that are a little dried out and besides, it could be fake. So when I lit this up after work I instantly knew in the first puff...this was for REAL!!! Ooh yeah, Cohiba grass/hay and honey all the way through. So what could be better than a gifted pre-2014 Cohiba Espléndidos that was so wonderfully flavoursome, and despite the dry and slightly cracked wrapper, this never went out nor did it disassemble in any way! The image below sums up how I enjoyed this over 105 minutes... So like our dear friend Bill often writes, be thankful...life's good!

Found this photo on Facebook this morning and maybe I am late to the Cuban Free Gift Festival? The Havana Tissue Limited Release? The Cheap and Cheerful Cigar Present for anyone? I could go on and on. Reuse, recycle. I am so happy.
