I work in a tire shop. I was pulling a car into the work bay when I caught out of the corner of my eye a couple gas station sticks sitting in the ashtray. Thought to myself ''another BOTL''. I went into our waiting room (where cigar smoke is very welcomed) and the customers said '' if I knew you could smoke in here I would of grabbed my Dutch Masters''. I than grabbed my travel humi and lifted the top to him. His old eyes opened up ( this gentleman was probably around 80 years young ) and he said ''nice cigars?''. I said '' they are pretty good for where we are''. I had some Punch Rothchilds, Padilla Corojo, 5 Vegas Classic, Hoyo De Monterey, and a few Rocky Patels. He scooped up a Punch Rothchild and I cut it for him and handed him a torch lighter. He looked at me and said ''whats this''. I said ''its a lighter sir''. He held it up to his freshly cut stick and pulled on it like it was giving him life. He sat down and said '' God Damn, thats a good cigar''. I told him to enjoy it and went out to set him up with some new rubbers for his Crown Vic. When I was finished with his car I saw him pull out of the lot with a quality stick hanging out his mouth and new tires. Made me smile.
