Brrrrr!  It's fucking cold out there.  Perhaps I should have gotten her a Valentine's Day card.  Let's find warm cigar deals to help us 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!

Just to be clear... I absolutely would have joined you all next door but life got in the way.  We only wrapped up dinner a few minutes ago.  I think we might get nominated for Parents of the Year.  Anyhoo, now it's bedtime.  I'm not completely ruling out getting lucky.  Good night.
