AVO 787 Toro

This past weekend I was in full freeloader mode. I had gotten a email coupon for a free cigar at a local B&M earlier this month, and I planned to cash in. I knew if I didn’t get over there that weekend, I’d miss out. I know, it’s a rough life when you have to go out of your way to mooch.

Smokin’ Headlines: Help A Brother Out

It seems our very own Walt wasn’t content with the stash of pre-release NUb cigars he wrestled away from a local cigar rep. Word has it, it was quite the scene. The good news is that the rep was released from the hospital the same day, and will be walking just fine in a day or two.

Flash forward to a couple of weeks …
