We're getting some pretty crazy weather out there, huh?  Hopefully we can find some crazy cigar deals on the various internet sites that will help us get through it.  Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Be warned, post on this site and you will catch hell from members and trolls alike.  Therefore, don't proceed if you have thin skin.  If you can accept all that, light a cigar, pour a Hot Toddy and welcome aboard!
