Happy Monday!  Any cigar deals on the various internet sites? Join in this discussion and perhaps learn something about cigars along the way.  Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either...  And welcome aboard!

Evening/Morning, muchachos.  Won't be on much today.  I came down with an eye infection.  Couldn't see going to work.  So I'm going to ride around Mt. Rainier with some friends.
