The start of my affection for cigars

At a local gas station, a large yellow sign caught my eye. The sign simply read "We have pre-Embargo Cubans, see attendant". Up until that day I had not been a big fan of any type of cigar. However, I had never tasted any ISOM. The sign sparked my interest, so I purchased one and fired it up right there. I took maybe 4 or 5 draws and sat the cigar down in my ashtray, returned to the window and purchased 5 more.
