Farris Story: cigars provide the perfect medium for boys/men to open up, full disclosure, to be their authentic selves.

"Ted, this will be a random, yet providential, email. I'm in Tucson celebrating my oldest son's graduation. I'm smitten by your value of celebrating these rites of passage with a cigar. Being a mom of four amazing boys, I have surrendered to the fact that cigars provide the perfect medium for boys/men to open up, full disclosure, to be their authentic selves.

On a different note I have owned a landscape gardening business for the past 20 years and my largest growth has been in exterior staging. That coupled with the fact that Flathead Lake Montana is on my top 10 of happy places, when I have down time, which is not very often, I watch HGTV and I watched your a segment tonight. Whatever you decide, know this, your daughters will always reflect on their memories. When is all said and done, this is all that really matters. I look forward to possibly meeting you sine day. Beth"
