Future Smoker?

[madandana]

My grandson Anthony Michael turned 1 last Saturday. As luck would have it, just that Morning I received a package with the date code of his birth day/month. Sept 16. I had been wanting to find a box with this code to save for him but kind of forgot. This was perfect for his birthday. I will put this picture and a note for him and put it away. I won't force cigars on him but if someday he finds interest,I will be prepared for it. God willing and the creek don't rise I'll be around for his 18 th birthday.

Happy birthday little guy, those should be pretty tasty by 2034!

Happy birthday Anthony Michael! It sure will be great to each light one up on his 18th, they should be fantastic by then.

While I understand the good natured intentions of your post, hoping that your grandson takes up cigar smoking because you happen to be an aficionado is not something I would ever do. I would much rather pass something on to a grand child like a fine Swiss timepiece or a family heirloom. I am in my 50's and have a daughter (11 years of age) and while I have educated her on the differences between other tobacco products used for nicotine addiction and my cigars that are more of a luxury for relaxation, I would never in a million years purchase a box for her or hope she becomes a "future smoker". That would be one of the worst things I could ever do to her and not something a responsible parent would ever do.  Since you are the child's grandparent, I would sincerely hope you would consult with his parents concerning saving a box of Cuban cigars for his future. Just my 2c.

He said if he takes an interest.  I suspect he doesn't intend to throw them in his crib.  If the worst thing I pass onto my offspring is an appreciation for the finer things in life, then I did something right.

I've been meaning to do this for my 2 year old son. As stated, not that I'll force them on him, but I'd like to think he'll appreciate the idea behind it anyways

Congrats Mike. I plan on doing something like this for my kids when they are born. Also plan on buying a box for myself and smoking one every year on their birthday
