Wanted to share here.
Dave AKA The Cocoa Kid had what was IMO a very suspicious post a while back . . . it both walked and talked like a duck is maybe the best way to put it. The post popped up again recently, and I thought that I would PM him and give it a try, but insist that he shipped first. I was pretty sure that he was not going to come through to say the least.
How wrong I was. He no longer had what he has originally posted, but custom made me a SMALL sampler (44 cigars) with a ton of cigars that I have not tried. He when above and beyond throughout our conversation (provided descriptions of the individual cigars with notes about them, etc.) and bent over backward to get them to me when I needed them.
The box showed up today, plastered with beautiful, old classic stamps and was packed and organized immaculately. He even tossed in a few "Bonus" sticks. On top of that, what he sent is worth at least twice as much as what I agreed to send him in return (direct order from a cigar website to him because I did not have any of what he was requesting). I not have a good 20 new cigars to help shape my n00by palate.
Definitely thought that a public Thank You Dave! was in order, especially after he had trouble finding people to work with him. Definitely a great BOTL!
