Happy Friday!  Perhaps even payday for some of you.  So are you buying cigars with the money?  Join in this discussion and perhaps learn about what to spend your money on.  But 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 beverage of your choice and welcome aboard!
