Having one of those super lethargic days at work, in need of something to keep me awake. Best comment wins the holiday sampler from either Nub or Oliva, their choice. 

Contest: Tell me a story about something cigar related, maybe your first favorite, a celebrity encounter, your best smoker friend, the good ol days, an alien encounter, anything real or fiction. Can be a poem, a song, a joke, a haiku, whatever you want. Have fun!

There once was a man from Wisconsin
When he smoked his cigars he was lonesome
He then found a brotherhood of Geeks
His cigar smoking doubled in weeks
He used to smoke Thompson cigars
Those have since then turned into yard-gars
Cigar purchases start to cost too much money
He had to hide incoming packages from his honey
Then came the virtual Herf's
Be sure that you don't call them Gerf's
He now spends most nights smoking cigars in front of a computer screen
When his wife comes in his den she tuns green
This man is not lonesome anymore
He has more cigar buddies than he could ask for
Next year he will head to Columbus on a cigar adventure
Yes, this man goes by the name 05venturer

Yep! Kent takes the pot!

I smoked a cigar on the "Top of the World (Trade Center) observation deck in 1992. My then wife worked in the twin towers (WTC) and, as I got to go there quite often, I once smoked a cigar (did not finish it but still) on the exterior observation deck of the then south tower. It was a windless day (that did not happen often up there) and I never got caught but did not finish it either. I just wanted to be able to say I had done so. I also joined the 1/8th of a mile high club around those days in that same tower but that's another story altogether.

  That was in 1992, before the 93 explosion and the dreadful events of September 2001, but, so that you know, she survived both incidents. Although we had been divorced for a while in 2001, I still inquired of her well being and found out she had not come in to work that morning, just pure luck. Many others were not that lucky, may the rest in peace.

Great contest, and wow Kent that was epic, congrats.  Did you had this in the works or did you do that on the fly?
