first...the above quote...in my opinion...this is someone who "gets it" .thank you mcs.
please dont misinterpret what i am saying...i am not trying to put anybody down.just telling a story related to this thread.
believe it or not most visitors to cuba dont smoke cigars (but many are curious enough and due to environment and location will try their first cigar)...i was in cuba recently with friends...one other was a cigar smoker and eight were not...the other guy bought a box of guantanamera crystals to give out to novice cigar smokers.myself...i handed out the best i had(at the moment)to anyone who wanted to try their first cigar(doesnt matter if they asked for a smoke or i offered first).
yes i watched someone put down one of my beloved santo coronas with but an inch smoked...maybe i should have given him a milder cigar.
who was right and who was wrong??? neither of us i suppose its just two different kinds of people(it appears(from this thread) i am in the minority tho)...still i shudder at the thought of giving a guantanamera to someone as their first cuban cigar.
didnt add much to this thread.
thanks again for your post mcs.
