Today I took my son to McDonalds for a Happy Meal. All he really wanted was the toy but it being almost dinner time and my having told him that I would take him for a Happy Meal this week and I had not due to busyness with The Dixie Darling, we went.
We live about 15 minutes away and after almost two weeks the essential oil smell had dissipated from the packages of gifted Lars I decided to give the D-3 a chance figuring I could sit outside and sample while the kid played in the balls.
So we got in the truck, motored to McD's, lit up the Lars. Pre-light inspection indicated typical Lars aroma as well as a nicely constructed smoke. I like the look: sort of a pigtail and unclipped foot, dark and oily.
I got this broken off tooth that works well as a clipper so I bit off the pig tail, unfolded the foot and lit the thing up all the while heading to Micky D's. Plenty of smoke with an easy draw. More flowers; this cigar was like breathing in the orchid greenhouse at the botanical gardens.
We arrive at the Happy Meal Store, get out of the truck and walk to a farthest door so I can lay the smoke down inside the courtyard and retrieve said smoke after getting the Happpy Meal. No problem. Done.
We order. We get the happy meal. We go through the door to the courtyard and I was struck by the orchids. No problem. I get my kid situated and eating, not opening the toy, and go to retrieve the heretofore mentioned smoke...it was gone. Gone I'm telling you.
I thought, hmm, maybe it rolled off on the curb, I look. No. Maybe it went under the balls laying around. Hmmm, no. Just then I remembered there was a cleanup guy leaving as we went into the courtyard so I went inside and asked to see the cleanup guy to ask him if he had seen the smoke. I at least wanted to know what had happened to it hoping McDonalds would not burn down because of a Lars in the trash can. I smelled the trash can to see if it was in there. Didn't see it. But could still smell the orchids in the courtyard.
The cleanup guy was on break.
So the kid is playing in the balls by now and then the cleanup guy fresh fromhis break comes out and says Yeah I threw away a cigar thought someone had thrown it down. Nope, I laid it down to finish smoking it. It's in the trash can the guy says. I said you might want to fish it out so as not to burn the place down. I said heck I might even finish smoking it. He fishes. He found it covered in vanilla mikshake. Hmmm. Started me thinking.
Needless to say I did not smoke it.
My impression of the D-3? Too much orchid for me. I can appreciate the construction though.
Did I mention the ash? Dark gray streaked with light gray and flakey.
And vanilla milkshake.
True story...
Thanks again ragingbull for the smoke...
