Thompson Cigar Company

Thompson Cigar Company snares customers with small ads in men's magazines. Soon, the box of bargain cigars with a free humidor arrives at the door and the fish is hooked. Catalogs appear in the mailbox about once a month and emails offer free shipping and 2 for 1 offers.

Despite my opposition, Bob likes to smoke a cigar on the deck and even I like a whiff of fresh cigar smoke -- on occasion.Last winter, when we vacationed in the Tampa area ob was eager to visit Thompson Cigars but we didn't make it to the showroom.
Today, we plugged in the GPS -- now indispensable -- and drove to Tampa, past George Steinbrenner Field (winter home of the New York Yankees) and soon we were at the factory outlet. Bob browsed for 30 minutes or so and came out with a few of his faves. I don't think he saved any money but he was very pleased with himself, and that's worth something.
