The incident where a JetBlue Flight Attendant cursed out a rude passenger and then slid down the chute, has been the talk of the town for the past few days. It is hard to blame the poor guy because it looks like the passenger who hit him in the head was obnoxious, and everyone has the right to have a bad day at work. But now come the copycats: a pillow fight between a good natured flight attendant and the folks over in economy class took place on Lufthansa's Flight LH687 from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt Lufthansa spokeswoman told AOL Travel news that "It's an example of passengers enjoying themselves in economy class. And it shows we still offer pillows to our passengers in economy class."

Going back to our JetBlue guy lying down the chute with a couple of beers, we really thought that some good cigars were missing. The Flight Attendant Special is our salute to a great airline and the people who work there.

The first cigar in this sampler is the new Alec Bradley SCR (Select Cabinet Reserve) Torpedo. (6 1/8 x 52) Made from a careful selection tobaccos, bold flavors to satisfy the most demanding cigar aficionado.

We continue with Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Torpedo (6 1/4 x 52). Any cigar aficionado will tell you that when Rocky blends a cigar, it tends to lean towards the sophisticated palate. It's really not for the novice. His blends are rather complex, like a great Cabernet wine, he reaches for a combination of balance and complexity.

Next is Lusitania Torpedo (6 1/4 x 54) Lusitania is a Nicaraguan "puro", handmade with only the finest tobaccos from the Nicaraguan regions of Jalapa and Esteli. Using the complex, aromatic tobaccos of the Jalapa valley with the fuller bodied tobaccos of Esteli, Tabacalera Perdomo has created a smooth, medium bodied blend graced with a rich Nicaraguan sungrown wrapper that offers a rich, satisfying finish.

Following with Alec Bradley Maxx Curve (7 x 58) Rated 91 1/2 by C.A. Magazine, the MAXX is an extraordinary mature cigar. Coated with a dark Nicaraguan tobacco, it is blended to include tobaccos from 4 Latin American nations: Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras and Mexico. The binder is a unique Costa Rican aromatic leaf and the cigar is a sweet medium to full-body, rich smooth and flavorful.

We conclude this sampler with 90 Miles Torpedo (6 1/2 x 52). The 90 Miles is the Gonzalez family tribute to the land laying exactly that distance across the water north of Havana. The American cigar revolution – known as the "Boom" – gave Gonzalez, who left Cuba only with the shirt on his back, his second chance in life and he created “90 Miles” to express his love and gratitude to this country.
