Yup, totally unexpected but when you get a call from head of HR that only means one thing.

Corporate triming for expenses, a small number of other employees also got the boot.

Oh well, I will be smoking my best tonight for sure, one Cohiba EL 2006 Piramid and a Pardon 1964 Anni Maduro A and alot of cognac.

I will take a week off and regroup to find another job.

CM, bummer news before the long weekend.

Get drunk, reflect on life, make some decisions while drunk, and if they still sound good when you are sober, follow through.

Sorry to hear that hope you find an even better job.


"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points."
