The Great Glass Top..........fauxiba

My son, who doesn't smoke cigars, or anything, recently returned from a trip to Central America, excited to give me a Christmas present which he spent WAY too much money for.

Obviously well intentioned, but sadly mistaken. I asked him why he didn't call or text me prior to purchase, but, no signal. He'd gone to a larger store in Belize, supposedly reputable.

Everything certainly looked official


some hitchhikers, who we quickly killed as they spread their wings to fly away


so, dissection was in order





couldn't get a band off without cutting it, too much glue



The final test, taste reminded me of a gas station White Owl Ranger from 1978 or so.

Sad. I told him that I really appreciated the effort. He said: "Lesson learned".

The hard way.

    Bands are off, the white squares shouldn't be cut off, and of course the glass slide lid box is a dead giveaway.

    Really nice gesture, though.

    Might have been filled with counterfeit cigars, but lots of love as well. Keep the "Humidor" and fill it with photos and such.

    I think he must have been smoking something...
