so I decided I want to try smoking cigars. tired of the shitty way cigarettes make me feel, cigars are infinitely cooler and more sophisticated, and they actually taste good! I figured I needed a new hobby/obsession that I could waste $ on and this seemed perfect. the Tinder Box has been in the same location at this shopping plaza for many years now so they must be doing something right. on my stop in there a few days ago, I got excellent service and advice from the young gentleman that was working the counter, I wish I could recall his name. anyway he showed me the ropes and pointed out what he felt were quality, mild-bodied smokes for $5 or less, and he threw in a free cutter. score! of course, there is the ginormous Cigars International store nearby is supposed to be Mecca for cigar aficionados, so I think I will be making a stop there soon.
