Happy Monday! Are there any cigar deals out there today to be had? 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!

Good morning and welcome to another Dean Day, where ginger is the flavor/color of the day and keeping up with your Tat's has nothing to do with Pete Johnson.

Not always easy keeping the social standards straight.....when in Puerto Rico, one kiss, two cheeks here, three kisses in Switzerland...although I'm not sure if it's supposed to be R, L, R or L, R, L....
In any case, I keep it just to the ladies.

Catching up on Emails and here I got one raising hell about something not done yet  "because it is part of the regional bosses performance evaluation" , thing is it is not even due until April 1st..  Simply GFY, it is due April 1 and it will be posted  by April 1, oh yeah by the way you did send me to NY last week for 3 days with  less than 24 hours notice...... and it did take me an entire day to make my travel arrangements because we are not able to go thru the normal travel procedures for travel with less than 24 hours notice in addition to the fact I spent 3 days out of the office on travel both of the previous two weeks.

I don't know, maybe. I'll have to see how much space I can make. But as of right now, I have 60 sticks coming in. Not sure I'll be able to make that much room, no matter what I do. I'll probably just get one of the CF humis set up to serve as a back-up to the back-up.

Thanks, Sam. But I've still got a couple humis from CF that are empty, so I'll probably just use one of them. They're full of smokes for the troops right now, guess I'll have to take those out and see about donating them.

Good morning Tony.   Did you get a chance to burn one on the way in?
I did not. It was pouring out too so it's not looking good for later on either.
Damn,  shame!  The ONLY good thing about the commute I have is I do have enough time to smoke a cigar.  today was a Bahia Connecticut Deluxe torp.  Surprisingly decent for the price point imo, I like them for a morning smoke.

Morning, Shaun. Remember, nothing says glad to have worked with you like a firm, open-faced slap on the ass.
I have a couple of coworkers that would qualify for that treatment - maybe at my going away party on Thursday
Not around here, my hand would die of shame.
Now that's not what you said earlier in the year.  I clearly remember you mentioning that a number of your associates were not hard on the eye.

Very different from other Ave Maria's for sure.  Pretty full and meaty with serious dark roast coffee and chocolate.  Reminds me of a Camacho 3M.  Little bit of a rough edge to it that I'm sure will settle with a bit of rest.

CONCEALED CARRY 7-ELEVEN CUSTOMER TAKES OUT AX-SWINGING LUNATIC

Just before 6 a.m. Sunday, a masked man entered a convenience store in Seattle and “began swinging a hatchet at both the customer and the store clerk,” before attacking the cashier, reports KOMO News.
“We don’t know if the intent was to commit a robbery because the suspect didn’t say anything,” King County Sheriff’s Sergeant Cindi West said.
Luckily, an armed store patron was sitting and having coffee at the exact moment the ax-wielding suspect entered.
The 60-year-old man, who has reportedly visited the store nearly every day for the past 12 years, shot and killed the suspect.
