I was in Mexico City last week. I was at a bar chatting it up with a Scotsman and he mentioned that he had recently been in Cuba. He asked me if I would fancy having a Cuban cigar. I give him a half-ass "sure, why not?". Then he tells me he got 25 Cohibas and Montecristos for 25USD. Any slight excitement I had faded instantly. He retrieves one of each and they don't look completely awful. Then rather than offering me one, he lights the Cohiba, gets it going, and then hands it to me to "share". I oblige by taking a pull and giving it back. When he tried to pass the cigar to me again I politely decline to which he says "Aw, you're going to make me smoke this whole thing by myself?".
As if this wasn't enough - I buy a round of tequila shots (remember we are in the heart of Mexico) and he takes a sip from the shot glass and passes the rest to me. Whatever. I drink it. Fortunately my penchant for the booze outweighs my desire to cry "party foul". We soon part ways while his Coheeba dies a slow quiet death.
I never made it to a LCDH but I did manage to snag the above smokes in the duty free shop on the way back home.
Thanks for reading - I don't know anyone else that gives a fuck.
