Hey guys and gals,
Thought I share a little story that happen to me today. So after work today I did my normal routine and went straight to football practice. (in case some of you that do not know I am a football coach for a deaf school in DC; also the head baseball coach). When I was at football practice I was thinking about going to a cigar shop near the school, that some of my co workers were telling me about. So, after practice I headed straight to the cigar shop, it was really nice little cigar shop had some good smokes and a good place to chill and smoke a cigar. Because I was tired and hungry I decided to get my smokes and head out.
Now that you got the back ground here is where it got interesting. In the shop the cigars are labeled by “code” they did not show the price on the box or the sticks, so in order to get a price I had to ask the owner to punch in the computer the “code” and the price came up. Well I decided to take a look at the pardons. Out of curiosity I asked him what the price for the Pardon 1926 # 6 box which was coded 50k (I think). He told me the price 5.50 a stick. Me being deaf I had to ask him again and low and behold it was 5.50. I know some people would stock up on that and run the hell out of there with a hell of a bargain. But I felt, the need to be honest, I told the guy are you sure that’s the right price because I know those are about 15 to 20 bucks depending on what place you go to. He was puzzled and decided to look in his catalog. He was like you are right those should be about 16.50. I was like I know there was something wrong there. So I went about my business and got a Maxx and a La Gloria Cubana Series R # 4 and was went to check out. The guy came up to me and was like so you not getting the pardons no more. I was like naw a little short for money this month but Ill be back. We here came the surprise, he already had bagged 5 pardon 1926 # 6 for me and handed it to me free of charge. He told me thanks for being honest and come back again.
The moral of the story be honest and good things will come. I was totally stoked now I got to get my Coolidor going to store these bad boys. Thought I would share with you all.
