Cigar Night
The other night I went to a cigar night, organised by the inimitable Otis, my hairdresser 
Otis and I are discovering we have quite a bit in common – and I was quite chuffed to be invited along on Wednesday evening. As it turned out, about a dozen or more of the men who turned up were from his Lodge, so it was very interesting chatting to them.
The cigars were awesome – habanos from Cuba, and very very tasty. A good time was had by all – and I was struck by how friendly the guys were, and how openly they welcomed me as a friend of Otis’. Everyone quickly got the idea I was interested in petitioning, especially since Otis had brought the form along with him – so I got to talk to a number of them about thier reasons for joining and their experiences etc. I had a particularly good chat to Alex, the W. M. of the lodge, who asked me a bit about what interested me about masonry etc etc – we got along quite well and had a good old chinwag. Overall I had a really lovely night – everyone was very cool, and it was great to be amidst such a bunch of like minded people.
The other side of it is that it’s kinda nice to be indulging for charity half the money we each paid went toward our cigar (we also got a funky little cigar cutter) and the other half went to a charity – in this case the salvo’s. So you feel a little indulgent but at the same time you’re aware you’re doing something for charity so you might as well enjoy it I think I’ll be going along to the next one…
