    Do I need a Cigar Will?

    OK, so I’m on a long drive at night through a mountainous area a few of weeks ago. It’s pouring rain and the idiot next to me decides he wants to be in my lane and doesn’t care that there is actually a couple of thousand pounds of car already occupying this spot. I hit the brakes hard and shoot back over to his spot with my heart racing and my hands strangling the wheel. To the right is a pretty good drop off that ole’ Christopher is not coming back up on two legs if he rolls over.

    This gets me thinking (I had a lot of time to think). OK, so I eat it. Yeah, my family is upset, funeral and whatnot. The guys at work attend but none of them smoke so they probably don’t even burn one in my memory. My dog doesn’t have a smoking buddy anymore. My wife still looks good and I have a crap-load of insurance so she’ll be OK after a while. But at some point she is going to take a look at my wineador and all the other aging cigars I have stashed around the place and say WTF am I supposed to do with these?

    She doesn’t know the difference between a Padron 80 year and a Fighting Cock. My babies are in real danger now. She could give them away to some dink or God forbid, throw them out. Repurpose that wineador for wine or a party fridge for her fruity wine coolers no less.

    So I’m still thinking – I need a cigar will. Something that ensures the painstaking efforts I have made acquiring, organizing, and generally fawning over my delights won’t go to waste. I would much rather have my beauties going to a deserving BOTL or SOTL that can appreciate the leaf rather than a chump who thinks they smell bad but “Hey, they’re free”.

    So maybe I need to leave an envelope with a couple of hundred bucks for shipping and a note: “Get these to @Herf N Turf and he will see that they go to a good home”. Or maybe “Send them to @DogRockets and he can take a break from buying so much”. What do you think?

    Maybe I thought about this too much.

    They could be left to Cigarbum and a Lapithicus Memorial Cigar Fund generated. With a 5er to be sent to new members when they hit 100 posts and 90 days as an active member for a nominal fee of $20 which will cover shipping and the rest of the money to benefit Cigarbum.

    500 cigars would benefit 100 new members and provide $1500 revenue to keep CB going.

    You need a living trust, period. Instructions can be left for just about anything, including your cigar stash.

    The warden has the keys to my meager collection, and has been instructed to divide them up amongst my friends. Now don't get any ideas it would only be 15-20 cigars apiece. My ashes are going in my best Humidor the others will find homes. No rush by any means
    Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.
