    Default My brother got a promotion....

    My brother has been working for the NYC Board of Education for over 13 years. He went from a sweeper to a maintenance man to a "fireman" to the Custodial Foreman. He took the test to become a Custodial Engineer. Custodial Engineer is the guy that is in-charge. He would be running the whole school. It is kinda like having his own business.... he gets a budget and has to pay for everything out of that.

    Well..... he passed and got his letter in the mail to come down for his verbal interview.... which is just an informal thing....

    As a congratulatory thing, I told him to come over and pick out any smoke he wants... This is kinda funny because he is the one I started smoking with. We used to go to JR's and buy Alternatives and think we knew what we were doing {two idiots}..... He is astonished at the amount of cigars, he still has a small desktop.

    I show him everything I have {ISOMs included} and tell him to pick anything he wants. He doesn't choose any ISOMs because they are too strong for him and one of the last ones I gave him made him nauseous {light-weight}.

    He had no idea what to pick, so I showed him some of the Anejos.... well he picked a "King B"..... we smoked last night and he loved it.... so much that he is willing to split a box with me..... LOL... He calls me this afternoon to tell me how much he enjoyed it and can still taste it.....

    He also eyed another one.... WOAM..... I also gave him that one and told him to hold onto it for his first day as a Custodial Engineer..... then we are gonna sit in his new office and smoke....

    He is a hard worker and truly deserves this.....
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    It's always nice when someone deserving gets promoted.
