I have been getting a bunch of info from everyone here so I thought it would be polite to say Hi.

My background with cigars started as a kid riding with my uncle and cousin home from a camping trip. My cousin and I thought we were super cool because we both just bought zippo lighters and smoked a few cigarettes on our trip that we stole from another uncle. Anyway, my uncle proceeds to stick this huge cigar in his mouth and my cousin and I rushed to see who could pull out their zippo first and light that big fat stogie for him. So he's got two brand new, shiny, beautiful lighters in his face ready to choose which one of us would have the honors. He proceeds to say with his stick in his mouth, sounding exactly like Leon Redbone..."Ah, let's see...which one shall I use. Let me hold 'em and light 'em and see which flame I like best." We eagerly handed 'em over, certain our own was by far the coolest. At this point he looks at them for but a second and tosses them out the window into the woods, never to be seen or heard from again. My cousin and I look at each other in complete disbelief as our Uncle chuckles and strikes a wooden match on his dashboard, still chuckling as he lets it burn past the sulfur.
