Mark Twain's Gravesite: Cigars

BeerAdvocate · 09-03-2010, 09:12 AM

My uncle use to drink a case a beer a day (never got drunk).
After he died, someone has been leaving a full can of beer at his gravesite for the past 12 years. To this day we dont know who it is!

His headstone looks like a domed humidor.

I left a cigar at U.S. Grant's birthplace once. Nothing fancy though, if he wants something higher end he can hunt it up himself...

Elmira is 2 hours from where I lived in NY. In my 24 years living in NY I never knew Twain was buried in Elmira. I guess you learn something new every day.
