Default Re: Have you ever been handed a free cigar by a random stranger in pub

Back in the early '80's I was travelling from Beaufort, SC to Boston for the Christmas holidays and was travelling in uniform since at that time we got a cheaper ticket if we were in uniform. We got a long layover in Atlanta since we were waiting for a connecting flight from Albany doing a turnaround in Atlanta. The Atlanta airport had a military lounge and I was in there drinking coffee and smoking a cigar. I had been talking to an Army CWO whose flight was called and he handed me a cigar when he was leaving.
