Mine is nearly complete. I just placed my holiday order. 1 box of Heminway Work of Art, 1 box Hemingway Short Stories and 1 box Ashton Belicosos. My brother and son will be getting great presents. I'll be keeping the Works of Art for myself. They'll arrive sometime next week.

With my birthday and anniversary also in December, the Works of Art are an all around present to myself. I've smoke a lot of Hemingways but never had a Work of Art. I'm really looking forward to getting that package.

Looks to me you used Brother/Son as excuse to buy, "works of art", for yourself. That's ok though, I'm buying all the time for birthdays, xmas, yankee swaps, April Fools Day, etc, at least thats what my wife thinks.

Would that be a box of Work of Art Maduro, by any chance?

If it is ... you've got a rare treasure!

I'm not sure if they're maduros or naturals. I was just so shocked to find them in stock that I didn't even ask. I guess I'll find out when they arrive.

OK so I couldn't wait to find out if they were maduro or natural. I called and asked. They're naturals, which is fine with me. But the really cool part was they just got in a shipment of Opus and I added a few sticks to my order. Now I know for sure what I'll be smoking Friday night for my birthday. Sweeeeeet!

They had a pretty big assortment and I'm not very familiar with the sizes. I passed on the double corona and went for the belicosas and the pyramids. I got three of each. didn't want to be greedy.

jjohnson28 --- I knew that you didn't know what you were talking about, when you said that I was wrong when I said the Oliva 'O' Maddie tastes like a cross between the WOAM and PAM ... LOL! You haven't even tried the WOAM yet!!!

BTW ... that 'natural' (that you think is a WOA) that I sent you along with the WOAM is a 'Best Seller' ... not a Work of Art, and it has been aged for over 3 years!

The package arrived last night. It's so pretty!!

Just happened that my brother is visiting from West Virginia. I handed him the box of short stories and wished him an early Merry Christmas. He was smiling from ear to ear. I expect I'll get the same reaction when I give my son his box of Ashtons.

It's the simple things in life that make it so worthwhile.

pentz8, the adoption papers are in route. I officially become kinfolk in two days. I'd prefer the Hemingways Short Story. I'll be by to pick those up and drop off some dirty laundry.
