I want you to know cigars have their place in the world of women. When the twins took up smoking at 14, my very popular daughter of 17 would have no part of it. She did say that when she turns 18, she is going to have one "heck" of a party.
It was really pretty mild but she did get my wife, back on cigarettes for only a few months, to go to a cigar bar with her. She then passed cigars on to the twins. They did not like the idea. My son's chain smoking girlfriend a year younger never asked for a second cigar either.
So, our oldest went to college smoking a couple of cigars a week. At college, we had the safety of my wife's mother, an ex smoker, keeping an eye on her.
Daughter and grandma went to a cigar bar. Then, they went to another. Soon grandma was back on cigarettes. She explained to her granddaughter that cigarettes fit in much better than cigarettes.
So, my daughter added cigarettes. That brings us to this past May. My parents rented an RV and took it to the beach near our house. Schedules were made for all four of my parents' kids to take their kids for time on the beach.
At first, my parents were there before school was out. They befriended a couple in their 40s. My mother is 63 and dad 65. The other couple left. My wife's mother rented a house right off the beach and not far from the RV.
That weekend, my parents turned the RV over to the kids and spent a couple of nights with my wife's mother. My mother told my wife's mother that she had tried a couple of cigarettes with that other couple and could she please have one.
Knowing how anti my mother had been, my wife's mother gladly gave her cigarettes and helped mother learn to inhale. Soon my mother took her smoking to the beach but only telling her kids and not smoking in front of the grandkids.
First grandchild to find out was my college daughter who shared both her Marlboro Lights and a cigar. I don't know if you would call this fortunate or not but the cigar did not turn my mother off to smoking.
My mother liked menthol. She learned to like the full flavor Newports. She keeps a Newport or Marlboro Light pack around in case friend and neighbors want to have a cigarette or even better, go back to smoking.
The light brands are also for beginning smokers. My sister was coming along as a smoker just ahead of mom in time. Another sister-in-law smoked but not around my brother's mom. The other sister-in-law rarely had a party cigarette.
Now mom encourages the smokers to smoke, gives them to the undecided sister-in-law and lets two 12-year-old granddaughters smoke. The parents of those girls say they can only smoke at grandma's.
Over the weekend, my second son in college brought a girl who was offered cigarettes. She declined but thinks the boys grandmother is very sweet. My wife said the girl likes the idea of my mom's independence but would not want to exercise her independence by smoking. The twins say this girl better leave if she does not want to smoke. I know there is some new or returned smoking in the neighborhood.
I should probably say I'm not a deadbeat who just sits at home. I work security at night and usually work Sunday thru Thursday 11 at night till 7 in the morning.
