A while back, I had stopped for a motorist on the side of the road. It was pouring down rain and I asked if they were ok. the gal said her windshield wipers had quit. so I take a look at them and it's an older Chevy that I've had experience with.
I pulled the cover and there was a connection broken. I soldered it real quick and away she went.

So I stop at the local cigar store and he has this cigar for me.
Explains that someone I knew asked him to get it for me, because I stopped and helped his daughter when her car broke down. He knew I smoke cigars and asked the local shop owner to get me something sprcial. LOL!

    And so he's paying tribute to you with a Tribute for helping his daughter. Quite apropos, I'd say. 

    Nice going, Tony.....

    Funny thing is, those cigars are getting extremely hard to find anymore.
    How the shop owner came up with it, I have no idea.
    I burned up the last of those I had long ago, so getting another one was a real gift.

    I have to give props to the shop owner for knowing that Torano is one of my favorite brands and searching out something I couldn't normally come up with.

    Very nice Tony. Kind of cool to see something like this rather than all the negativity we to often see.

    good work, Tony. I am always surprised that most people don't engage in acts of kindness, sure would be a better world if they did. Seems that fear and greed are on the rise.

    Wonderful story, Tony. The part about you helping someone in need is no surprise.

    If more people where like this, the world would be a much better place. Cigars can sooth a lot of things when u are sitting with others, time stands still.. Nothing better than relaxing and enjoying a good seegar. Even better when it's a seegar from another who took the time to gift it. Awesome story.
