Still, a chance to smoke a newly rolled cigar is not to be missed. I'd step right up. Enthusiasm might supplant a so-so cigar. I once got a freebie cigar at an event, and it was excellent, or I thought it was.
My wife and I went to the Saratoga Springs track which is beautiful, "racing under the elms." We went to the spa and generally had a good time. She's been before, but it was my first horse race experience ever. What a great way to be introduced to it.
Later I went to Belmont on Long Island while she was doing an event with women friends and enjoyed it a lot. A bunch of us got dumped at the bottom of a escalator when it went into reverse, getting into the park, but no one was hurt.
