Except, Cioffi wouldn’t be working with any of them directly, nor would the five cigar makers work with each other.

Love it - great way to pass the time, do some social distancing but stay connected. RT @GodFadr: When I see people doing Tai chi in the park I like to pretend they are fighting off really slow invisible ghosts that only they can see. I can keep myself entertained for hours.
