Pinkie

Blister

On Sunday night a friend took me to a cigar bar on Lexington Avenue.
“Let’s share a cigar,” she said.
It had been a long since I smoked my last cigar.
Although the taste of the cigar was less overwhelming than the taste of my friend’s saliva I felt that the cigar empowered me.
The bar was dark and after a few puffs I burnt my pinkie.
The feeling of being empowered stopped immediately.

Great Saliva. Bottle it!
I smoked my first cigar when I was ten. I knew It was half of it left after my fathers party, so I came there the other day and smoked it.
I have never felt like such a criminal im my life.
I smoked my first cigar at about 14 behind the gymnasium between two lessons. The then-girlfriend of my brother laughed at me because I smoked it like a cigarette taking deep drags. In retrospective I can say that cigarettes made me feel cooler by far.

I sprayed my blistered feet (cheap shoes) with desinfectant today. The pain made me feel superior. Well, if one doesn't take the suppressed squeal into account.

Which disinfectant did you use? Hydrogen peroxide?
Arnon, why did the feeling stop? Because of your pinkie or because of everybody noticing?
I would never have considered lighting it if a woman friend offered me to share a cigar in this post-Monica era.

Don't worry, no woman will ever do.

My first cigars, I smoked in Austria at the age of 14. It took me one and a half hour in the bar to smoke it and one and a half hour in the toilet to recover from it.
A nice Cohiba , from time to time. Its taste, its perfume, it makes me feel bigger , reaching for the borders of space and infinity. Swell.
From now on there are severe laws against Cohiba! Stop Cohiba = top priority.
