A year or so ago I was in Atlantic City during the Mayors convention. I was smoking a La Flor Dominicana and a Mayor from somewhere in NJ mentioned how good it smelled. I went up to my room and grabbed a Padron for him. It was a time of true cigar comraderie. I believe in passing on a good cigar if you realize someone also enjoys such a pleasure. Share your favorite smoke!

I can't even begin to tell you the number of times that a cigar has been the jumping off point to good conversation, friendly laughs, and acquaintances that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Too bad that those who condemn our good fortune of smoking a fine cigar, will just never "get it"!

Several of my closest friends would probably be no more than acquaintances if not for our mutual enjoyment of cigars. A marvelous fellowship enhancement tool and a great way to connect with people in unfamiliar places–just follow the glorious aroma of super-premium second-hand cigar smoke!

George, you are so right about that. My brother in-law and myself do that from time to time and it makes and it not only is a real ice breaker but makes an instant friend.

I agree. Nothing like a cigar to create instant camaraderie.
