Well, took the wife to Vegas for Christmas with no kids! Of course I had to go to Casa Fuente and check out the sticks. The first trip I picked up a Shark for a not all bad $26 no tax. Then, we went back for Happy Hour after walking around all day.
While I was in the walk-in there was this, from his outside appearance, rich kid. He asked "Where do you keep your good cigars like C. . .CAO's?" I laughed inside alittle. The reply was as expected " We only carry the Fuente blended smokes, nothing else" The rich kid says "Oh, what's the new one that starts with a 'V' in a white box?" The guy working there looked confused. I replied " You mean the Vision by CAO" "Yeah that's it" he replies.
So I said "In here it doesn't get any better" The guy inside asked him what his favorite CAO was and he replied with confidence "The X2's" Well which one, I thought to myself. The guy working trying to save a sale says "If it is the Mx2 with the dark wrapper you have to try the Anejo brand" then he went on to describe it.
Here comes the funny/jealous part. . . the rich kid looks around at the premiums reaches in without even checking out the stick he picked up, and grabbed the $125 stick in an attempt to redeem himself!
The guy working there said he will be right back after he rings him up and for me not leave. I was trying to decide which to get. He comes back in with a smile and said "I love rich kids that have no clue, to bad he won't appreciate the smoke you would" "What's one of your favorites?" I told him the that my stand by was the VSG line, he asked me what size I would like. SO with the wife glaring at me through the glass, I decided on the Tres Mystique to make the trip quick for her. "I'll take one of these, oh this one looks good, yeah I'll take this" The price was high as I expected, $13.
"On the house!" he says, WHAT!!!! He said that I made the sale by "knocking down the rich kid, the only way he could get back up was buying one of the most expensive sticks in here! Thanks!"
This was one the high lights of the trip! LOL
