I completely agree Warren. For me, the epiphany was when a friend on another cigar board was killed in a car accident a little over 2 years ago. It was a reminder that life is fragile and that you never know when your time's up. Any occasion is special enough, as long as I have time to smoke the whole stick. There are only 2 spreific sticks the are "special occasion" sticks for me. I have 3 left of the ones I gave out when my son was born, and those will be smoked when he graduates from high school, and then I smoke a Fuente WOAM every year on my mom's birthday to celebrate her life (she passed away 3 years ago this past April). Other than those, nothing in the humi is off limits.
