That is awesome, Echoing Conan loyalty is a great thing. Too little of that anymore. Not talking

I have a lot to learn about cigars it seems, I don't know what many of these are, or even how to acquire ones that would be considered premium like some of these.

Welcome to my world. Follow the threads. Read, ask questions. I'm still trying to find some good websites/blogs to read that just aren't all marketing. Mostly marketing, ok, they gotta pay the bills, but damn, some of those sites are just shilling. d'oh!

Get a large storage device (humidor, tupperdor, etc), buy more cigars than you smoke (if you have an everyday smoke you like, buy a box...then keep an eye out for special or limited cigars, buy a few or a box), and then stash them away. In a few years you will then have some great “trade bait”. Use some of that trade bait along with connections on here and you should be able to start getting some unicorns to smoke.

I know I sure have acquired the ones I have by locating them in a store. Occasionally guys on here will be ready to get rid of some great cigars and through the use of wallet candelas or other trade bait, I have been able to get some great, aged cigars.

Time is your friend. Good trade cred is a must.

the eagle landed and exploded when I opened the box...there is an amazing assortment of fine cigars...I'll need a "minute" to look them over, admire them, before making "takes" and "puts" decisions...

then the secondary explosion....I suspected I was gonna get smacked by Palama, especially when Stinger put me on the list after the Mad Hawaiian. He pulled off a ride-along bombing during this box-pass.... Conan is insane...he aint right, I tell ya....................................wow..........................................mahalo, Bro!

Wombats are herbivores; their diets consist mostly of grasses, sedges, herbs, bark, and roots.

Wombat....due to some timing issues, most likely I will need to switch who you send to. I will let you know before you need to ship.

By the way, confirm your addy with delta. Apparently the self service kiosk at USPS didn’t like the address you gave me.

yea...was wondering too...the La Perla Habana Black Pearl Morado could generously be called a unicorn, since that issue, an OR from 2007, I believe, have been long gone...

I have an Oliva Master Blends 1 from 2003 and an Oliva Master Blends 2 from 2005 that I considered putting in, but wasn't sure they were "elitist worthy" enough...they are long out of production and very htf.....what's your opinion about them?

I didn’t put all the cigars on the list. There are a couple in there that aren’t as elitist as others. (Could be used to round out a fiver). However, that is an OR Black Pearl...yes, a Unicorn.

Hold on to the box for right now. I was going to figure out the remaining order tonight.

Wombat,

Firing solution as follows.
You will send to Steve02
Steve02 to Shaun (needs to arrive prior to 5 Oct)
Shaun to dkeage (can’t arrive before Oct)
Dkeage to fiddler (can’t arrive before 7 Oct)

I believe with the constraints given, it will work. If you have any questions, let me know.
