CigarBanter.com wishes you and your families the merriest of Christmases.  When you're done opening your gifts, and you're stuffed from eating all those cookies and eggnog, we can talk about the new cigars Santa brought you.

Santa is finally done! Put the elves away, and then I completed my game of refrigerator tetris and won. Everything is packed away. Leftovers will be great. Last thing was to eat a few cookies and drink that glass of milk. It's off to bed I go. Hopefully they'll let me sleep in a little.

Good news for BOTL Richard Overton!

His cousin, Volma Overton Jr., tells us that Richard was moved to a rehabilitation facility in northwest Austin at 11 a.m. Monday morning.

You don't know the half of it. The kids are still sleeping, it's the Mrs that is driving me to drink. At one point, about an hour ago, she was sobbing because, "I can't do everything, it's too much!" She started working again about a hot minute ago and, "I work full-time now" seems to be her goto.   Boo-hoo, give me a fucking break.

Did I wish everyone a Merry Christmas? This season really does bring out the best in people.

I got lots of wonderful Christmas gifts but the D.I.L. Picked me out the coolest one of them all.

A smoke of genius.

Part rocks glass, part cigar rest, Cigar Glass lets you hold your drink and cigar in the same hand at the same time without all the awkward finger fumbling. So you’re free to sip and puff at your leisure. Holds up to 9oz. of liquid and various cigar sizes.
