While in Las Vegas last Wednesday, I made a plan to be extra classy at a fancy sushi bar. I made the pre-game call of buying a box of cigars in case of a Class Emergency. Needless to say, while being classy, I lost the cigars in a suite party at the Wynn.
Today my cigars (and box) have returned to me!
The awesome people at the Rubicon Project — a company that helps you optimize your ad space — followed the plight of my lost cigars over at seowife.com and came to the rescue.
TRP hosted the suite party (and a crap load of other great parties around Vegas), and apparently didn’t mind hauling a box of someone else’s cigars home with them. Some less classy people probably would have smoked all my cigars and then given the box to one of their kids despite the inherent mixed anti-smoking messages that gives a kid as a rite of passage and glimpse into a world of intricate ritual practices that the human mind is addicted to like crack — but they didn’t. They overnighted them back to me in a cigar friendly environment and with a free T-shirt.
Thanks, Rubicon people! You guys are one class act. This also proves something I’ve been saying since I saw it on Family Guy.

I wish that party had been tonight too. Not that tonight was bad. Holiday party. Champagne. Tequila. The norm. It was 4:30 when I got home. What does that say?
Glad we got your cigars back to you as they deserve. You are lucky they landed in Marwan’s hands. He is a former Cigar Aficionado. He’s used to have a humidor. He took care of your cig’s as if they were his own. Good man. I can only take credit for finding, opening and suggesting we hold on to them until the owner shows up. Marwan babied them. Good man.
Glad to give you a smile. Hello to BB and the group. Fun in LV. Ya know SF is next, right?

As a child I would wait patiently for my grandfather to give me his cigar boxes, and when I realized this took too long, went to asking the box boy at the front of the grocery store for any left over boxes. This did get into my skin as an important prelude to my future as an adult.
Perhaps one day when I grow up I will smoke cigars. For now, I will stick to ice cream.
