Yesterday i attended a glorious wedding..as you get older you go to more and more. I've had plenty of cigars at weddings before, but usually they were a mix of theatre prop and bestman or usher uniform. This was my first wedding in recent years where i took a few sticks for my own enjoyment (davidoff short t and HdM LE '11 petit pyramides which was stunning thank you [MENTION=294]ACMCC[/MENTION]).
Anyway, the power of a well chosen cigar at a well chosen moment was astounding ..... People come over wanting to chat, wanting to know about the stick, and wanting to check out the lighter and cutter etc.
Then later, much later, the half cut ushers and groomsmen sought me out like some sagely wizard to cut n light their occasion smokes. Just brilliant fun to be seen as some one who holds the keys to a special bit of man kit, man knowledge and social ceremony. There was genuine (ok... Booze soaked) reverance for the 3 jets of cigar lighting happiness!!!!
It was nice to experience a cigar bringing non-cigar folk together to talk and share a few moments mucking about with blade and fire. I know most of the boys will wake with cracking heads and burning lungs from inhaling their sticks when they shouldnt have, but they experienced a few moments of the special comeraderie that we BOTL's and SOTL's enjoy.
And for those who didnt partake, they enjoyed the theatre of the cutting n lighting, the scent of puros in the air and had fun inspecting the kit.... Cigar lighter, cutter n cigar case. I sense a few might be bought just for the pleasure of owning well made man cave gear!
Hope you all enjoyed long ashes and good company this weekend too.
