Yo Flipmeister!

Sorry about that big guy.  We were out and I only just walked through the door.  Happened to forget my phone at the house too.  C'est la vie.

A fellow Thurs. night herfer just bought a box/bundle of those (C'est la Vie).. they are Cuban Sandwich style ... didn't have the heart to tell him what that means.  He's been smoking Tatiana Vanilla cigars up until now (made  by La Aurora, they ain't cheap).  We'll see how the el cheapos smoke to see if his openness to non-flavored cigars go. (Though I have to admit those Tat Vans smell like Piņa Coladas which smell good to me.)  Night now.
