What Grinds My Gears

Yeah, they're gifts and all that, but they can be expensive dead leaves relative to one's income and where one lives.

Mark is in the Cayman's, and I'm pretty sure his prices are closing in on the prices Corvin, SmoknTaz, and myself pay at B&M's

Maybe I'm just cheap, but if I'm handing out $1-$2 cigars, then yeah, dead leaves. If it is a $5 cigar like the JLP's, then it kinda bugs me knowing they'll be tossed. I'm just not going to hand out $15 cigars like that JdN 1970 or a Padron 2000 unless it is a BOTL. When it comes to $100+ cigars like Padron 80ths or Anejo Sharks, well ...

I was on the beach a few months ago, smoking a cigar, and some guy came walking by, smoking one too. I saw a big label on his smoke that I didn't recognize, so I jumped up and started talking to him. He said it was just some cheap Nicaraguan.
I ended up giving him one of my Cazadores, for later, obviously, as he had one lit already.
Then he told me it was his birthday, so that was really cool!
