What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[indycop]

A smoking beat cop? What next? Did you stop in at Starbucks?

I had gas station coffee....
But there is a Starbucks in the middle of my beat and 5 with 5 minutes.

Black Cat Cigars in Philadelphia has an absolute beaut they call "Sams Stash". Custom made for them with billows of full rich smoke, an easy draw, spicy as a NOLA bloody Mary with about a 50 ring size and about 6 1/2" long. I'm not sure if they will ship them but worth a try. Very limited quantities available.

Gas Station?! Isn't that against your union contract?

UNion....Don't get me started. I only use them for the legal protection. I have had no luck with anything else from them. At 3 in the morning you won't find much more open than a gas station though!

Oh, you didn't say it was at 3 am.

6p to 6a! Tonights smoke will be a 5 Vegas Series A.

Man! I agree your union stinks if you get stuck with those kinds of hours. Unless you happen to make over six figures for it. That is what it would take for me to work 12 hour days.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I took the plunge and bought a box of Topper Danli from Holts. At $35 for a box of 25, seems like a deal to me. They are a bit rough but someone recommended them to me as a decent smoke. If they aren't I am going to have to kill him.

I have not heard of those.

It only takes one call to push it well over 12 hours such as last weeks 60. We work 5 12s then off for 5 days, so technically I only work half the year.

Now that sounds like union work.
