“What’s your favorite cigar?” - asked by Brandon Wright

Dear Brandon,

After much thought and consideration, it depends on quite a few factors. How much have I eaten that day? How long do I have to smoke? etc. All things considered, I have to say that right now my favorite cigar is Plasencia’s Alma Fuerte Sixto II. It has a wonderful flavor to it, burns marvelously, and feels good in my hand. The only real downside to this cigar is that it runs more expensive than what I normally smoke, but when I do have occasion to smoke one, it’s a genuine treat.

Sincerely,

Pat Hardy

“Okay, so you know when like... uh, when, when you try to just, uh... really, really try hard? You know?” - asked by Kyle Inman

“What’s in the bag a shark or something?” - asked by Hayden Spears

Dear Hayden,

I don’t mean to spoil anything, but I think it’s a dead person. Likely a male dead person. As Edward Malus (played by legendary actor Nicolas Cage) will later find out the women of the island he finds himself on have a penchant for killing men. Honestly though, killing those men won’t bring back any of their goddamn honey. Furthermore, I’m hard-pressed to even think of any shark species that live in waters of the Pacific Northwest coast. This piece of information, however, does not stop Cage from delivering the line with his full force of honesty and charm.

To answer your question, I’m going to go with “or something.”

Sincerely,

Pat Hardy
