oh ya, they are gone and each one by itself would have been a wonderful gift...I think I may have only posted about one or two but I truly savored all of them.

I think I had a question or two...gotta find what I jotted down that I was wondering about

edit:

so, there weren't any from that ethereal batch I did not absolutely love, but wasn't sure I knew much about a couple.
Obviously I knew and loved the very special Padrons...45 year for 45th anny day. And the R44 is one of the greats along with the Flor Fina Rosado. Also love Xtra Viejo, you really walloped me with some of what I have always considered top top shelf favorites of mine.

Not sure I know about that Divine Insp (3/23/18).
Also, there was one you marked Hawaii Exclusive from 12/9/21.
Can't recall knowing about these before smoking them but definitely loved them as well...not a loser in the bunch, not even a meh in there.

Jamie's 3 fingers only box (afraid to call it a package) and his name for this RAOK is based on a true story...he did use two 3 finger cigar bags...
but he stuffed two cigars in each of the six fingers.

And that, folks, is how a fiver becomes a dozen.

smokes:
Sobremesa Brulee (blue) 46- never had any brulee but often thought I should
LFD Solis...as much of a fan I am about LFD, this is one of the few I have never had
Boli PC...no comment necessary
Perdomo Small Batch Maduro 2005 petit robusto/small corona/half corona...whatever they call the size, it's now called ash (HNixon would be proud of me). Very good, the right kind of strength.
Tat PCR (May 18 box code per Z)
AF MagR44...a personal fave

and in the other 3 finger bag:
a "Real" Camacho 10th Anny...so looking forward to this one. Man, I was such a Camacho Ho years ago...
Eiroa PCA 2021 cammy...don't think I ever knew of these so can't wait
Hemmy Signature sungrown...love these
Aladino Corojo Reserva #4...Z warns me it's "strongish". Never had one, I'm sure I can still handle "strongish"
RyJ...maybe a Cazadore?...per Jamie it was gifted to him a few years back from none other than CBD, the former friend who got me into this mess. HA! Thanks David.
and an unbanded pig tailed lancero that Z says is a one-time special run by Franklin Pichardo...I was unaware of the story until now and will treat this sweet looking smoke with reverence.

Jamie also tossed in some more of his signature grown up chocolates and a cool old school hand written letter in which he shows off his AI skills...wait, not what I meant...HA!

And best of all...no butt plugs!

Fantastic "mood elevator" my friend...thank you so much.

OK, I took my beating. Can I let go of my ankles now?

AFAIK, yes, Frankie is still awaiting a(nother) pickup. Probably good for him to delete cigars that Z sent and replace with other favorites.

Oooooh, “motivated”! But who out there is able to take on the challenge known as the Tripod? Think

Of course I’mma sure the Tripod has never shrank from a challenge. Gonz

if anyone is thinking of sending me a third bomb, contact me for my misdirection thoughts.
many will know who I mean. I've spent time with him, great guy, could use a lift...
If ya gotta suspend the rules about passing a passed gifted turn, this is a good exception to the rule.
I can even drive the bus...don't tell Tuck.

The Emperor says no re gifting.
But if you send me an addy for the above mentioned I'll gladly send a bomb.

+1

But, what if the busyness is caused by the filming of the third and final chapter of the "Three Tracks in the Snow" trilogy? Gonz I mean, if that's the case, I'mma sure the star has ta be in almost every scene, no? Think

Got in touch with Frankie.

In 25 words or less, he’s got a lotta chit going on right now but is hoping to make an appearance once things calm down a bit so mebbe over the weekend.

Mebbe.

couple issues mostly resolved, couple will require follow ups in the weeks ahead, but might have dodged a bullet or two.
Certainly can't say I credit clean livin'!

smoked a bunch out of both insane bombs, have to admit that so far all have been well within my preferred tastes and strengths...a few that are still intact will get ashed later in the Summer as a couple special occasions are on the calendar and they are simply looking way more time consuming than my normal selections.

I am truly humbled by the experience, especially since I wasn't even a participant in this thread!

As for the target of my suggested misdirection, I have not reached him but jespear is checking on him and will get back to me...

smoked this today. a strange little celebration because my mother decided she wanted to live a bit longer...very weird coupla days.

prelight aroma from this beauty was possibly the most intoxicating of any unlit cigar I've ever fondl...um, held.

this was simply delicious.



That's my review. Thank you Jamie. For real.
Great cigar.

not really. I suspected that if I continued much longer drawing through the twisted off pigtail hole it would get harsh from tar, so before I hit the last third I clipped the head just a little and used the technique Robert taught me oh so many years ago that he used with Joyitas and other smaller ring gauge cigars...smoke slower and "sip" the smoke from the cigar.

It really was a great smoking experience, checked the important boxes aside from the tobacco itself (which was delicious), like helping me calm my mind, slow myself down, similar qualities to an expert massage...

I better stop now before I have to change my Duluth underwear.
