Stogie Commentary: Words of Wisdom for Valentine’s Day

For what it’s worth, I happen to think Valentine’s Day is a pretty craptacular “holiday.” I don’t mean to be a party pooper, but, if you’re a clueless guy like me, February 14 is an annual lose-lose day.

On one hand, if you’re in a relationship (as I currently am – sorry ladies), Valentine’s poses huge potential for disaster. For example, if you don’t know what her favorite flowers and/or candies are or – worse – if you forget to get her something altogether, count on not scoring for awhile.

On the other hand, if you’re single, the entire day is a 24-hour reminder of what a loser you are. Might as well break out some hard alcohol and cry yourself to sleep.

In fact, I’d wager the only people who actually enjoy this sick day are chicks who are in relationships and Hallmark executives.

Nonetheless, in a pathetic effort to tie in the holiday with stogies, I thought you would enjoy reading what some other cigar enthusiasts have to say about love. And don’t worry: February 15 is right around the corner.
