Cigars and Sports Celebrations

WHITE HORSE MADURO TORO One of the treasured pictures in my study is from our softball championship a few years ago. We had fallen just short of the Loudoun County (Va.) title for a few seasons in a row, including bowing out as the top seed the previous year when some of our best players were overseas and missed the game. So the victory was extra sweet.

So sweet, in fact, that one of the guys in charge brought cigars. They were White Horse Maduro Toros, a really nice stick and one of many cigars for sale about $1.50 a stick, and everyone lit up as soon as we got to the bar, before the drinks even arrived.

The picture is of the whole team in our softball jerseys, pitchers and glasses of beer surrounding us with the trophy smack in the middle of the table as we smoke away. It’s on my desk at home, and is a great reminder of what the team did – and of a pretty fabulous cigar as well.
