What's a good cigar to smoke before my brain goes to mush??

I got everything set up, bought all the parts, etc to have another engine put in my car ( my car is in Houston). My car got picked up around the 18th by the people that were going to do the work. I told them that I was flying to Houston on the 25th and needed my car done by the 26th. The day before I got there my brother informs me that he just found out that they weren't even going to start on my car for another week or so. I flew to houston and fired them. I then had my car towed to another place that supposedly works on my type of car. After a few days of calls they call me in and tell me there's a problem. They say the engine isn't exactly the same. I go and look at it and there are some very minor differences. I tell them to exchange some parts off of my old engine and it'll work ( I'm now starting to wonder how much they actually know). Today they call me again and tell me that my old engine has one fuel line and the new engine has two. I go look at it again and inform them that there isn't two fuel lines, ones a purge line. I fire them. I get a hold of another mechanic that some people recommend. I talk to him and he either sounds like he "DOES" know what he's doing or he talks one of the best games I've heard in a long time. I have my car towed to him. if all goes right it should be done in the next few days. Guess I wasn't meant to be in FL by the 26th. My brain is mush. What's a good cigar to rectify that??

If you DON'T want a mush brain and want to stay sharp and full of fury then I'd go with Man 'O War or 5 Vegas Cask Strength!
Sorry to hear about all the crap going on!!!
I'm with Lasabar on the cigar picks though. Diesel Unlimited is about the best "jump start" (pun intended) you could need for an occasion like this. If you need to rest and relax, I'm going to recommend a Gurkah Beauty.
One final note, you can get a whole lot more done with a 36 pack then you can with $500 if you find the right mechanic. You're probably just looking on the wrong side of town. {;-)

damn imcompetent people piss me off. What a waste of everyone's time and $$$$
Diesel sounds good to me.
Sorry to hear about the $2k bill and the extended stay but, in the end, if your car runs like you're hoping it will I'm sure you'll be happy. You need to fill us in on the details of your project sometime?
