A fantastic stick at the end of the day does indeed, for me, elevate a shitty situation to at a minimum a bearable situation.
I opened my coolidor and saw the Padron 1964 you gave me and thought it would be fitting.

....and wow! Such a well balanced, smooth stick, and with no 'break in' period. Amazing from start to finish. My first Padron and won't be my last. Thanks again for the stick and the inspiring words. I'll try not to deprive myself this year. hehe
