Fire pit dance of joy

[headstand]

This week I started on a gut-rehab of my house. First task is to insulate the basement, which of course means cleaning out the basement. So today I cart out four years worth of spent cigar boxes to the fire pit. Before tossing the boxes I would pull the lid off the SLBs and open the dressed boxes, thinking they would burn more quickly. Half way through, I flip open the lid on a box of Bolivars, lo and behold there's a cigar sticking it's head out from behind the liner: the very last of a splendid box of Boli Corona Extras.

In the scheme of things its a really small thing.

But,

Ask me if I'm a happy man.

Hope the Boli wasn't too dry Alan.

Didn't look too bad actually, but it's now in humi getting a spa treatment. That box was a beauty in terms of construction/draw.

Cheers and hope you are doing well.

This would've made a great, if not a bit somber picture! I plan on doing the same in the spring when the mountains here thaw out a bit.

Rye,

Each box holds a special memory. Bring Kleenex.

Looking forward to a first rate photo essay.

Glad you double checked every box before tossing it in the fire. I can see myself throwing a half full box of cigars into the fire.

Indeed, I feel almost a relationship attachment to my cigar boxes as well, and may not have what it takes to burn them. I very well could chicken out and hand them on the shop wall along side all my scotch tubes.

Baldy, I could actually picture you trying to salvage half scorched cigars misplaced in a fire pit!

Nice little piece of writing there.
