Mike Gilroy was a local brother here at the Leaf. He was here several days a week like alot of us. I'm sad to say Mike is no longer with us. Mike passed away on Wednesday night due to cancer. He is survived by a wife and several children, siblings and extended family. He was always in good spirits and was a great brother to have a good cigar with at the lounge. He always had a smile and never complained much about anything.
A few of us at the lounge the last couple of days have been smoking something they've been holding onto to celebrate Mikes life and memory. I was looking thru the Humi to see what I could pull to celebrate his memory as well. Well I found a box of Mag R52 sitting and here is why I choose this cigar.
Mike was always happy to sit down and have a great conversation with. Always smiling never complaining. Just like the R52 being a great value cigar imo, Mike was a great asset to the lounge overall. The 52R has great flavors, appearance, and just a great overall quality. Everytime I smoke one of these cigars it always puts a smile on my face and Mike was the same in many aspects. Great to have around for conversations, always smiling, just a overall great family member at the Leaf.
So I didn't pull the most htf or most impressive cigar in my collection to celebrate Mike's life. Instead I choose something that to me had the same qualites and virtues that Mike had. Always was smiling and always kept you smiling.
Mike you will be missed by us all. Keep smiling and bringing joy to everyone you continue to meet up in heaven. Like I said before we will all miss you Mike and you certainly won't be forgotten.

Sorry to hear that. Very touching reminder of what the brotherhood means to all of us I think. Nice touch on the choice of smokes.
