Cigars for dad

December 18th, 2010

I am on the look out for some good cigar deals online for my dad, he only smokes cigars at Christmas and it has become a tradition that I am the one who buys them for him. Obviously they get more and more expensive each year though as they are always putting the prices of tobacco up over here so it’s more and more important that I find a good bargain on them :)

Dad the Rev Head

My dad knows his way around Toyota engines like I know my way around my local shopping mall — he’s been working with them since I was a small child and still tinkers whenever he can now that he’s retired.

He sometimes used to buy beat up and broken down engines, not just Toyota but any he could get his hands on at a good price, fix them up and give them a clean and then sell them on at a profit — he loved doing it and my Mom loved the extra money so it was a win win situation. He got ripped off a lot along the way by some dodgy dealers though, even as a self professed expert he was conned a few times so I feel for people who aren’t in the know about engines.
