Thanks. My pleasure. Thought other Fuente fans might enjoy it, even though I'm sure many here have likely met him too
Yeah, was by far the highlight of my cigar smoking life to meet, hang out a little, and chat with him, especially since I have been a serious Fuente fan from the beginning, especially since my first good cigar was a Short Story and I loved it so much I bought a box as soon as I got back to the shop from being out in the oilfields for 14 days straight.
Instantly became a cigar smoker and Fuente lover immediately.
He was a really great guy and seemed to genuinely enjoy talking with a fan and hanging out with me a little bit (my wife and I were the only customers there at the time which helped), and also happily autograph my engraved bottle of Jack (had a gold paint pen in his pocket so apparently travels prepared, lol), and gladly took a really nice picture with me.
I friggin' LOVE cigars
