Man O' War and the Ashtray mission


What can i say about Man o' war that hasn't been said before ?(easiest way to weasel out of an actual review, take notes please) just kidding but not really, I checked some other blogs for reviews on this A.J Fernandez puro,I lit my cigar and started reading. "oily wrapper" yes, "nice draw", so far so good, "citrus" i was wondering if that was from the cigar or the fish tacos con limon i had earlier , then i got bored reading the same thing over and over finished my cigar and went for a walk , figured i would hit antique row down the street and see if i could find a nice ashtray for cheap and found one in the first store i walked in but it was 25 bucks i only had 10 bucks cash. A few stores later i found a smaller ashtray for only $3.00 and bought it, the guy didn't have a plastic bag and i told him i would just take it like that, then walked down the street to a consignment store , was going to ask the lady at the counter for some old tin posters i saw there a week ago but before i could say anything she saw the ashtray in my hand and asked if i was there to sell it.. I paused for a second and asked how much, she took it and went to the back, when she returned she had 15 bucks with her .I told her i wanted at least 25 since it had been my grandads and she said Russ in the back room collected fish stuff (was a fishhead shaped ashtray) and wanted to buy it for himself, I took the money and went back to the first store and offered 20 since by then I had 22bucks and they took it, no tax! flat 20 !!! I bought a soda on the way home and as soon as i got here i lit up another Man O' War to break in my new old ashtray, took this picture and figured this would make a great story to tell you
