Mark, Great story (and nice writing).

My nephew recently moved near me and I took him to a lounge. I don’t think I had ever talked to him that much at one time. He had an Undercrown Toro and I a Bucanero Full Sail Maduro accompanied by a few wheaty beverages that he sprang for. It was a good time, but he has smoked cigarettes for many year s and is currently using the vaping method to try to kick them. So I didn’t want to derail him and haven’t asked him again (my brother would kill me if he went back to the C-sticks).

My daughter is 20 and in college so the procession has started. Her first boyfriend liked the other kind of smokes, probably a little too much. So out he went. With her being eight hours away it might be some time before I get the chance to sit down with one and talk it out as you did. If they have eyes, though, they can see the way to my heart…
