That's not the point. How do you know the cigar he was smoking wasn't something of greater (sentimental) value. A gift from a family member perhaps. A smoke from a "brother" in the service who may have paid the ultimate price?

A few years ago, a good friend of mine and member of this board was smoking a VR Famosos at a herf when someone came up to him, snatched the cigar, threw it to the ground and smashed it underfoot saying "what are you smoking that crap for?" What that person didn't realize is that the cigar was a vintage, original release Famosos given to him by a close friend. Irreplaceable.

Things are not always what they seem.
