[Whipper Snapper]

Some of you gentlemen have brought me up into the cigar world and trained me into the young man I am today.

I've worked at a number of cigar stores.
I've seasoned humidors, checked hygrometers, and aged my own sticks.
I've purchased habanos (oh the ordeal it was).
I've been bombed, and I've bombed.
I've learned a ton and shared a laugh with many.

If it wasn't for you guys, I can almost guarantee you the above thing would not have happened.

In a way, you guys have been like a bunch of dad's to me. And if you think about it for a minute, you'll probably remember the guys who were like dad's to you in the cigar world.

Thanks for bringing me up in this cigar world. Technically, I'm only four years old in my cigar years. You all have a lot of fathering to do yet!
