HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Unless you're working on Saturday, then what's the big deal about Fridays?  Hopefully you'll get to enjoy the long weekend.  Otherwise, perhaps some cigar deals will help ya get through it.  Share what you know in this forum 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 your favorite beverage and welcome aboard!
