Carrying cheap smokes

I will make a point to carry some cheaper cigars at all times now. I just need to get a bigger case. What's funny is when I first got it, I was still very new to cigars and I wanted a simple 5 count, but the guy convinced me to get the 10. Little did I know how fast the cliff was approaching at the time.

It does give me an excuse to head to my local B&M to have a drink and enjoy my first LP9 after work today

It's good that the guy finished the smoke - being new to cigars and all. One of my pet peeves is folks who bum cigars and don't finish.

///TRUE STORY ALERT///

When I was in Afghanistan someone sent us a TON of Fuentes and a handful of cubans in the same big box. Normally I would divide the good cigars between our various companies and locations, but this time, a bunch of grabby hands made off with the whole lot in my absense before we could split them up.

The next day I went to the hut that the culprits shared and to my horror, there were about 20-25 cigars (Opus X, Hemingways, a God of Fire, and at least 2x Upmann #2) CRUSHED OUT on the ground - all with less than an inch smoked. About 5 guys were trying the cigars to see which ones "had flavors". I traded them a box of tampa sweets for the remaining cigars in the box (which were sitting in the 85 degree sun) and they were happy. I then gave them a talk about handrolled cigars vs. machine made cigars. I am always glad to share what I have with others, but these guys basically threw away about $300 in good smokes that others would have enjoyed.
