I gotta find a Palio... Since this is thread-related, here's a funny story happened to me yesterday:
So a few of my work buddies and I went to Havana Dreams, a smoke/scotch shop nearby in Queens. We walk in and I see a typical jar of misc. cutters for about $5, any cutter in the jar. Sitting on top of the pile I see what looks like a brand new Palio. I say out loud, "Oh Great! A Palio! I've been trying to find these, and this looks perfect."
The guys I was with definately LIKE cigars, like most guys. But they know very little about different brands of cigars, much less cutters. (Strike that: I know very little about all this stuff- the friends I was with know less than me.
So I go into the walk-in humidor to pick out a cigar. I come out to grab the cutter and pay for both, and one of the guys I was with is ALREADY paying for the friggin Palio! I didn't say anything, but the other guys heard me say I was going to get that one (of course, the LAST ONE!!!) Everyone looked at him, and they were like, Dude, WTF? Ben was going to get that! He said nothing, pocketed the gem that he didn't even knew he had.
Whatever- we all had a fantastic smoke, some sat outside in the covered patio area, some inside watching football... It's an excellent place.
I'm puttin' that behind me, and now I'm on the hunt for a new Palio of my own... (And when those new ones come out, I'm sure I'll search for one of those too.)
