"It's asking a great deal that things should appeal to your reason as well as your sense of the aesthetic." W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915 English dramatist & novelist (1874 - 1965)
"Who knows what form the forward momentum of life will take in the time ahead or what use it will make of our anguished searching. The most that any one of us can seem to do is fashion something--an object or ourselves--and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force."
Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death

A Little Sumpin Sumpin on Cigars

I enjoy a cigar every so often. My old friend Mike in Chicago has good taste in cigars and whenever we're together he's kind enough to offer me a very nice cigar.

Right before I left NJ, a really sweet cigar bar opened in my home town. Of course, I never got to fully take advantage of it and right after that cigars became much more mainstream and popular.

Usually, here alone, I can only afford the occasional box of Swisher Sweets...easy to smoke but not the greatest of taste.

Recently, I had the privilege of obtaining several hand rolled Dominican cigars from a guy from Tampa whilst in Orlando. Very nice smokes.

So, now my brother-in-laws have a little sumpin sumpin to smoke after the Shreveport Mardi Gras next month.
