A short story, related to the confession.
I am working at this glass factory for a contractor that is rebuilding a conveyor system. One of the plant employees is on our crew as a helper/go-fer. I noticed that every morning he went through several cups of coffee, he even told me where the big Bunn coffee maker was and to help myself. I asked him if he had ever used a French Press? His answer was no. That’s when I told him about the coffee forum on this cigar forum I visit once in a while….
That’s when his eyes lit up and he said I like cigars too!! Well I had to ask what he liked to smoke. He said Macanudo’s, Montecristo’s and Cubans when on vacations.
So last Wednesday while getting ready for work I grab a bag and start digging through a couple of my humidors. I had to bomb the guy right; I mean most everyone here would do the same? A 5er ought to get him on the edge of the slope.
Here’s where I feel the need to confess. I get to work and take the bag out of my lunch box and see a Padron 3000 in the bag. I had that little devil sitting on my left shoulder saying “You aren’t going to give that one away are you?? That’s one of your faves.”
I almost listened to that evil doer, but then the good guy a little Santa sitting on my other shoulder said “Hey, don’t be selfish you have a couple left at home, you know this newbie will enjoy it.”
I went ahead and gave him the 5er, Padron included. It was worth it to see the big smile when I handed him the bag of cigars. Plus the next day I got a short review on the Padron. He said that he really liked it.
Forgive me for thinking of hogging the Padron. I won’t let it happen again.
Padrons are good for slapping around a newbie.
