REIMER, Robert Alexander
(1953-2024)
In Memory
One of life's great pleasures for me was enjoying a cigar with my Dad. He appreciated function over form, which is why a simple Backwoods Honey cigar felt most fitting. These unpretentious cigars lack the glossy appearance of high-end smokes, but don't be deceived. Like Bob himself, they reveal unexpected depth and charm. Beneath their rustic exterior lies a sweet essence-the honey infusion-that brings warmth and familiarity. Backwoods cigars don't flaunt luxury, yet their enticing flavor appeals to all, much like my Dad.
Whether on a golf course or sharing a meal, my Dad's company was always a cherished moment. Lighting up a cigar is a quiet celebration-a moment to savor. Just as my bond with my Dad created lasting memories, these cigars leave a sweet imprint.
As I light up a cigar, memories of my father envelop and connect me to moments we shared-the laughter, the quiet conversations, the warmth of his presence. Each puff lingers like my loving thoughts of him. So, I invite you to have a cigar and think of Bob.
In this simple act, honor his legacy, unwavering support, unexpected depths, and the sweetness he brought to our lives. The smoke dances, weaving stories of love and remembrance, and for a fleeting instant, they are both here with us.
You're my first and last thought every day, Dad. Hopefully, I'll meet up with you on the 19th hole.
Love, Jeff
