The good news is, the Ploomidoor lives up to its name!!

The bad news is that no good dirty low down Mr. Telecom just stopped by to admire it on the way to the Airport. He's off to Yellowstone camping for a week. I opened the ploomidoor and said, have a cigar.

I was gently nudging him toward the Lafinca, the Savenelli, the Consuegrea, BUT NO!! Like a pig digging for truffles, STRAIGHT FOR THE 858 SUNGROWNS!! Ba$tard! :-)

I had one too. They had a year + in my position. The heads above the wrapper and the cedar sleeve were covered with some unusual white crystal substance...

It was a nice way to see him off to the airport. He's going to post pics like Spiny did, awesome part of the country. I look forward to seeing them in a week.

I feel your pain man! Held out a package for my brother to pick from. He had only smoked a half dozen before then. He picks out the OpusX xXx. When I asked him why; he says he thought the label looked cool....

Hey guys... wise up!!!
Get a "special" humidor just for those sticks you can part with and not feel violated. Offer these lesser sticks unless I show up... I only want the good stuff!!

LOL!

Good advice. My "I gotta have a smoke but have nothing to celebrate" dog rockets go on the top shelf, and the premiums go underneath. Those who can't tell by the bands probably wouldn't notice the difference anyway.

Robby - My Brother - You are a seasoned smoker. So, I should not have to tell you this story. You "Always" keep a desktop humi to invite friends to smoke from. Never, Never, Never, let them see inside the "Plumidor". Ooops, I see that I was a little late =)

Regards,

I believe Robby was just kidding about fretting on the SG going out. Heck if it is a brother of the leaf they can take their pick from my Humi's.
I hand out La Finca and similar to strangers when in public to help promote cigars. My aim is to increase our numbers for the conflicts with "Pleasure Police".

heh, yeah bud. I gave him the run of the Ploomidoor :-) I actually recommended the SG. I also gave him a UTS to smoke while camping at Yellowstone and an otter box to transport it, with the promise that he would take a pic and post it! Can't wait to see it!

Hey brothers, La Fincas may be cheap but they are far from doggies. (to help rationalize my hidden humi with the Opus, ISOMs Trinidad etc.)

Just got back.

Thanks again Robby for the prem-o smokes. Let's go to the 'baccanist and this week for lunch...

Bad news is I didn't get a picture specifically with the UTS (Botched self photo attempt). I did however enjoy it about 2 miles (hike) back into the Canadian Rockies around Lake Louise.

I'll post some trip picks in a couple of days as soon as the boss shows me how to offload the camera and downgrade the pictures to under 100k.

I try to avoid giving "truffle hunters" free rein. But if that happens, you might try putting on your most friendly, courteous smile, and saying in the most congenial way, "Your're welcome to take that one, but if you do I'll have to kill you!" They usually put it back and make another selection......
