I have discovered a new passion last night. I have been a cigar smoker for over ten years now. Just like everything else in life, there are times when I smoke a lot and other times when I don't smoke so much. Last night I went to this "exclusive" cigar store that has a private smoker lounge in the back. They were having some form of event so the public could use the private area as well. The private lounge is basically BYOB. Since they do not have a liquor license, you bring what you want and enjoy yourself.
I knew there was a membership fee for the private lounge. I thought, "Okay. It can't be more than like $25 a month or something like that." I was so so wrong. They charge a yearly $750 membership fee. This does not even include the cigar lockers. Oh my gawd. That is a hell of a lot of money. I could buy a Mac Mini and an iPod for that price (funny how I convert everything to computer pricing to feel the full effect of the cost).
Needless to say I will not be joining their exclusive membership. They claim to have around 150 current members and will cap their membership around 225 people. They will have to have one less member because that is an outrageous amount of money. I can just smoke my cigars someplace else, thank you very much.
All of this gab has nothing to do with my original thought. When we got there, I wanted to check out their humidor and maybe see what kind of cigars they had to sell. Well, the guy (pretty cool guy in fact) introduced me to this new cigar. It's a coffee flavored cigar. I have died and gone to heaven. It is the best tasting and smelling cigar I have ever had. I bought a few and will cherish them in the next few weeks. What else could be better than that? Coffee and cigars. All in one item. The only thing missing is the alcohol. Now if they could add some form of alcohol to the cigar. Damn. I would just about cream in my pants.
