As a 30 year veteran of pipe and cigar I once met a Canadian WW1 vet about 1968. He was gassed in that war and they gave him a year and a half to live. When I met him he was up on the roof of his summer cottage putting down plywood with nails hanging out of one side of his mouth and a cigarette on the other. During WW2 he was a sargent major (they are like a sargent only more vicious LOL) in his son's regiment. He made life absolutely miserable for his kid who was a private because if he didn't the other guys in the troop would have.
I quit smoking about three years ago because it was costing $200/mo. and I didn`t want to push my luck. Cirelaw, did you ever try a Davidoff Special R - made in the Domimican Republic. I liked these better than the Cuban brands I tried.
