Back before I was old enough to smoke (14,15), I received a Thompsons catalog for some reason. I used to pore over that thing. I thought it was so friggin cool. To this day I remember that their Rum Twist cigar actually had like three bends in it (it's a straight cigar now). Fast forward about 15 years...I was given a couple of sticks by some friends (which actually dried out by the time I smoked them) and thought I should look into cigars (since I was already smoking a pipe). Found the Thompsons catalog online and was like "Wow!" Never did order anything from them, but I have to say that if not for them, I may not be typing this now.
