That news is a real

. I'm firing up an 858 SG now as well in tribute.
My first box purchase was AF Cuban Corona maduros. $24 bucks shipping included. That was half a lifetime ago.

God Speed to the old torcedor.

My first cigars when I started smoking were AFs. When I was in college, I could get a box of Chateau Fuentes for $17, and Rothschilds for $20. I found Short Stories for $63 a box in the early '90s.

Man that stings.

I met Jr a couple years ago in Tampa. VERY nice family. 858 was my gateway cigar. I have a couple sharks that I have been sitting on for a long time. Maybe it is time to set them on fire.
