While running erands with the wife and chief enabler, we stopped at the local B&M so I could look at some Xikar lighters (and probably pick up a couple of sticks, wife willing

). Well, I decided on a twin flame model, to be purchased later. The owner is also a Freemason, and former Marine, so we were busting each others chops about him being a "Grunt" and me being a "Squid". I managed to talk the wife out of some scratch for a Brick House and an Antonius that he recomended. As I was paying for this, he started to put a Nub Maddie and an Olivia Serie G Box Pressed Corona into my bag, so I said to him: "I don't think those are mine". So then he says: "Yes they are, I take care of my Brothers". I turned to talk to another patron as he was running my card and when he gave me my bag, I saw that he'd put a Nub Torpedo in there as well. So I said: "You don't mean to give me all this, do you?" "Well", he said: "Don't worry about it, I'm sure you'll help me out someday." I gotta tell ya, I am absolutely stunned by the generosity of the cigar community. Between the pasting I took from dunng's bombing, Zulu's help with my cigar education and now this; I don't know where you people come from, but it must be a damn nice place!

Hey, Darren, and welcome. Glad to hear you had such a good experience. I'm up in Boston, and I'd love to know which B&M it was so I can be sure to send some business his way.

Cigar City, Bridge St., Weymouth, just over the Fore River Bridge from Quincy, on the right. Just follow Washington St. from Quincy Center to the bridge. Washington St. becomes Bridge St. on the other side in Weymouth.

I thought it might be - I know exactly where it is. I'll have to pop in there the next time I'm on that side of the world.

Absolutely! He's a funny basta'd, you'll like him. He doesn't have a huge selection, but I can always find something I like. He does have La Gloria (NC), but he won't carry anything you can get in a packie, though.
