Starting St. Patrick's Day early

While going through the humidors a few days ago I found something I ordered by mistake awhile back -- a five-pack of Fuente 8-5-8s in candela wrapper. I love all Fuentes, but I'm not really fond of green-wrapped cigars of any kind, and I just kept ignoring them until today.

Two of them went with hand-delivered bombs to local friends, using the excuse that they are "St. Patrick's Day cigars". I'm going to light a third one now for a head-start on the day when we're all Irish, and I'll probably have the remaining two tomorrow.

Moral: sometimes even mistakes work in your favor.
