$1000 cigars for Bill

[8zeros]

Seems to me like Ol' Bill was just a name drop in a thinly disguised advertisement/joke for Gurkhas. It's hard to bring his name and cigars up at the same time.
I don't have anything against Bill or Gurkahs. I would never pay that much for a cigar but would smoke one it it was given to me. I would be polite and smoke it even if I didn't like it.
Some Gurkhas I've smoked tasted like dusty air to me, some different ones were all right.
Bill's retired, as long as he stays that way he doesn't bother me a bit. I read somewhere he likes his cigars box-pressed anyway.
