had a few snorts and decided to have a cigar... well maybe more than a few, lots of snorts.
about 9 years ago when the cigar craze hit i got involved with it, i bought with a frenzy, every fine cigar i could think of. some were crap and some were really good. (flash back), i smoked cigs and other things starting at twelve years old and quit everything at 33 yrs. old.
so now i smoke a pipe a couple of times per week and about 4 cigars per week... well (back to the future) tonight being blasted, i decided to smoke a cigar. i looked and found a few sticks of opus x in the bottom of my humidor.
here's the story about this cigar i'm about to put a torch to...
about nine years ago i had this guy who worked for me, he got married and his new wife had a sister who lived back east in vermont. well i wanted some opus X's and they were far and few between and only to be found on the east coast.
this guy got married at Niagara falls and said he saw some of these opus's back there. mmmmmm (i said) maybe you could call your wifes sister and she could get me some? well he did and she did and i have have about a dozen just sitting around looking at me!
anyhow down the road this gal (back east) got divorced and moved out west and i lost my supply of the then hard to find opus.
now for the rest of the story....
about 4 years after i got these opus's i became single. my worker friend and his wife took me to lunch one day and this gal showed up to dine with us. yup, it was vicki and a couple of years later we got married.
and she was the very same gal who bought this cigar for her brother in-law to give to me who she didn't even know!
small world huh? and the knife in the pic is her baby busse steel heart.
now you know the "rest of the story"....
