This weekend’s tireless rain left its mark on my house, specifically in my basement. The water poured in (“The S.S. Savona is sinking!” I shouted to my wife) which meant it was time to head downstairs and try to clean up. I spent much of my Sunday sweeping water from the basement to the garage and into the driveway.That’s right—sweeping water. When there’s enough, it sweeps quite nicely.
I took the mess in fairly good spirits (when you get 6.5 inches of rain in a day, it has to go somewhere) but then came the straw that broke this camel’s back. I took a cigar break mid-day and took out a Fuente Fuente OpusX Lancero, a gift of Carlos Fuente Jr. It was my last one. I lit the smoke, took a few rewarding puffs, then the slim cigar slipped from my mouth and went right into the water at my feet.
That hurt.

"It was my last one." Shameless mooch attempt.That's a pretty sad picture you painted Dave. I suggest you call out the basement systems people. No need to have a repeat soggy day.

Ouch. Carlito gave me a few some years back and they were really great smokes. I have 2 left and would be happy to share them with you. You know how to contact me. Doc:)

Blast those forceful nor'easter winds. Certainly no help toward unplugging a size best known for a tight draw...
