Episode 1: How I (Almost) Became the Face of Cigar Nation

Dear Cigar Nation Humans,

I had the most extraordinary dream.

One moment, I was dozing on the windowsill, curled like a cinnamon roll, purring away the afternoon. The next, I was wearing a silk robe, reclining atop a leather cigar lounge chair, and fielding questions from a group of industry journalists. Cameras flashed. Someone handed me a glass of bourbon. I was being celebrated as the new face of something called… Cigar Nation.

In the dream, I had my own signature cigar picks. My own corner of the internet. Humans—my humans—were quoting me. “Let the cat choose the cigar,” they’d say.

It was glorious.

I never entered the humidor. (Even in dreams, I have respect for your precious sticks. Who wants fur on a figurado?) But somehow, through osmosis—or perhaps sheer charisma—I had risen to cigar royalty.

Then I woke up. Still just a cat, still curled on the sill. But I swear my human looked at me differently that day. As if he knew. As if, maybe… the dream had already come true.
