    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.

    While chair bound and committing a slow death by Oprah after a little tumble of a motorcycle, a friend brought by a travel humidor with smokes, cutter and lighter. I'd been reading Hemingway and thinking I had been neglecting my smoking, drinking and whoring around - realized the later would lead to more broken bones and probably a Bobbitt bob, settled on whiskey and cigars...

    Been smoking about one a day since and haven't ever seen a sampler I could refuse. Wonder way to relax when it is warm enough to get outside

    Cheers,

    Rusty

    While chair bound and committing a slow death by Oprah following a little tumble off a motorcycle, a friend brought by a travel humidor with smokes, cutter and lighter. By that time I could hobble to the deck on crutches, been reading Hemingway and realized I had been neglecting my smoking, drinking and whoring around - realized the later would lead to more broken bones and probably a Bobbitt bob, settled on whiskey and cigars...

    That was last summer and I've been smoking about one a day since and haven't ever seen a sampler I could refuse. Wonder way to relax when it is warm enough to get outside
