Well, I guess I received the last box sent out from this version of the nOOb PIB. Got Bsadler’s box on Wednesday but between work, fighting off a cold, talking to our contractor and napping, it’s taken me a few days to go through all the contents and stuff. Make no mistake, Ben sent
*a lot* of stuff, both cigar and non-cigar-wise. The vast majority of the non-cigar stuff I’ve never had before (…the bastid went shopping at Trader Joe’s – there ain’t no TJ’s here in Hawaii – and he knows it!…) and all of the cigars are nhs. Without further ado, here is what the generous Mr. Sadler sent:
Non-cigar stuff (…all from Trader Joe’s except for the first item…)
Daelmans Carmel Bites
TJ Milk Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Pretzels (…luv these!...)
TJ Maple Leaf Cookies
TJ Cocoa Batons (…can’t wait to bust open the can…)
TJ Freeze Dried Raspberries (…perfect for my morning oatmeal…)
TJ Mini 70% cacao Dark Chocolate Bar
2 each of:
TJ Dark Chocolate Baton Espresso

Assorted TJ fruit bars:
