Smoke Inn Blog Smoke Inn Cigar Talk
I think I must be the world’s most unique cigar smoker in two distinct ways because:
a) just about every cigar I’ve smoked the last couple of years has been older than I am… and I turned 80 this year!
b) the full retail price of those cigars was anywhere from 5 cents to 2 for 15 cents!
Me and some guy named Tony something or other out in California both have private cigar museums. Now, during the Cigar Boom Years lots of people were interested in hanging out in the museum and smoking some of these ancient cigars, but frankly… those days are over. My children (children? Some are over 50 years old… not really children anymore) well, they have asked “what are you gonna do with the cigar museum?… or what are we supposed to do with it someday after you are gone?”
Well, I thought about taking pictures of all that stuff and putting it on E-Bay, but there’s thousands of items and… and… HEY! I’m retired! I’m really not interested in creating a job for myself sending thousands and thousands of packages out to people and reporting sales and taxes and all the happy shit that goes into being in business… no! I’m done with that shit. I just wanna sit in my freakin’ recliner and take a nap for God’s sakes!
So, I called a couple of museums to see if they’d be interested in taking the collection (for free… I’m not looking to make any money off of it. Well, now that I think about it… maybe I could get a tax deduction?) and making a permanent museum area for it, but nobody ever called me back.
So, I’m gonna have to give some more thought on what to do with all the historic boxes and signs and documents. But first I’m gonna get busy and start smoking up all these old cigars… I just gotta remember to wear old clothes ‘cause I keep falling asleep and the ashes end up in my lap.
Hey – election day is coming up. Make sure you vote. Our country is in deep trouble. Where’s FDR when we really need him?
