Sooooooooooooooooooooooo
To make a short story long;
A little backstory before the reason of my post.
Last year i went to my local shop, as i do, way too often for my bank account, to see what was new, pick up a few and to just generally shoot the breeze. The owners wife hollered for me to step over where she was, the owner was busy. As i approached she introduced me to this lady looking at cigars. She said,"this is one of our regular customers, maybe he can answer your questions Miss."
So the lady explains to me that her son is with the military in Afghanistan and his birthday is coming up. He had told her the only thing he wanted for his birthday was cigars. So she came to the shop to get him a box and she had $100.00 to spend. Since her son is new to cigars and since that's what she had to spend, i talked her out of a box and into a bunch of singles. My thought was why buy a box of something he may not like and the only box in her price range was a box of Onyx. So her and I and a young lady employee went from humidor to humidor picking out cigars. We came right at her budget.
So i then picked out 2 good cigars, 15 count herfadore, a couple of cutters, a punch and im not sure what else, which i put on my tab. The shop owner gladly gave me all those for their cost. We packed all the cigars perfectly in the herfadore then she thanked me and gave me a hug and went on her way.
So today i swung by the shop and the shop owner said "I've got something for you". Im thinking utoh! He said do you remember that lady you helped? I said yup. He said well her son is back home safe and he came into the shop to thank us and he bought you a cigar.
I just want to say to all the men and women serving our country in the Armed Forces, Thank you. And to that young hero who is serving our country, and took the time to think of me while in a war zone, to come home safe, and buy me a cigar, THANK YOU! You will never know how much that meant to me. I smoked that cigar tonight in your honor and to all the men and women serving this, the greatest country in the world.
