Brotherly love........

smitty81 · 10-03-2012, 11:04 AM

In more ways than one.

My younger brother has always enjoyed cigars with me. He is the one person in my life that I personally know will go out and actually ENJOY a cigar with me. It means all that much more that its with my actual brother too. I only get to see him about once every 4-6 months as we live about 4 hours apart and we both live fairly busy lives.

I always send him home with a cigar or two to try when he comes up my direction or if I am in Omaha with him, I will recommend some to him and buy them for him.

I have been trying to teach him a few of the basics here and there like not dragging on the cigar like it's a cigarette.

I think I may give him a little push.

I find that my first humidor (150 ct) is getting a bit more full than I anticipated (like you guys told me it would).

I think I will probably get something bigger and give him my old one along with the beads and the hygrometer. I really think this is the only thing really holding him back is the fact that he knows that he has no real good way to store his cigars.

It will be a great starter humidor for him. I'm kind of excited about doing this.

Do it bro! That is awesome!!! I wish I had ANY family members that would enjoy a good smoke.

Three of my old humis are in use with two cousins and a friend, definitely nice to pass them along when we outgrow them and make a friend or relative happy.

He'll be thrilled Josh!!

give him the 150 ct, and pick up a big cooler...cheaper and can hold WAY more sticks!

That's an awesome thing to do. I have passed a few along the way.

smitty81 · 10-03-2012, 11:42 AM

I couldn't resist. I just told him and he is really excited.

Very cool. Nothing like a shove down the slope.

cjhalbrooks · 10-03-2012, 12:13 PM

That is awesome.

Just bought me a treasure dome. Pretty excited to get it.

That's an awesome gesture. If you're ever up in Omaha to smoke with your brother, hit me up. We can go to Nickleby's and herf it up.

Sounds like a plan, I have given away a couple of humi's to some peeps to get them into it more......I think he will appreciate this more than you think.
