"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Cigar Smokers?

Years ago I was a big fan. Humidor, 30 cigars at the ready. Not so much these days.

I had a Nub habano a few weeks ago. Pretty damn good. All of Oliva's stuff is good. I think the best I ever smoked was the Rocky Patel 1990 churchill.

Any of y'all smoke?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Regularly. Once or twice a week sometimes. I do like the NUBs but my favorite is a Leaf by Oscar Sumatra.
I'm dealing with Florida summers, so I don't go outside unless I have to. I don't mind sweating, but sitting there doing it for an hour or more smoking lol

I'd like some recommendations, though

These two are by Leaf by Oscar. The extra leaf wrapper on the outside protects the cigar and is their signature marketing.

The downside is they can be ten bucks in a cigar shop and 13.00 in a cigar lounge. BUT I wait until a good deal or sale comes At one of the cigar houses such as cigar.com.
You ever check out cigarbid? Really fvcking cool website for smokers
