He did Dave! He was a little worried going in that(especially because of the size of the cigar) that he might end up sick but I think he was pleasantly surprised.

From his reaction I gather their will be more cigars for us in the future

Nice! My grandfather got me into smoking cigars and I still get to share a smoke with him every month or so. It puts him in a philosophical mood and I get to hear all sort of wierd stories about him growing up in Orange County during the war! There's really something special about sharing a good smoke with our loved ones!

what a great story!!! My dad smoked a pipe for 50 years, but i didn't start smoking cigars until he died, kinda to keep connected to him i think. This story is so marvelous i am stupidly chocked up. i have two sons. One is 23 and in the army, in afgahnistahn right now, and the other is16. The eldest and i have enjoyed many smokes together and a good single malt, I am counting the days till i can smoke one with my youngest and my oldest together. thanks for the posting.
