it would have been nice to fire up a nice romeo y julieta 1875 but for some reason women hate it when the house reeks of cigars???

keep em coming your posts about outfit are awesome.


Thanks a lot buddy and also thanks for your support. You said it right, the Outfit was always struggling to remain in one piece and thats why some bosses from different time periods had to eliminate obstacles with the blink of an eye, no matter the number.

As for smoking, I usually do it when alone at home because I cant stand questions like "Whats that smell?" or "How much cash did you spend on those cigars?" lol

Btw, heres another pic of Tocco...
