Rick is more than a great contributor here, he is also a friend in real life as we have met and herfed in the past.
A former MASSHole (that can never be undone however) he tried to escape to the North Country of Cow Hampshire, but he was raised minutes from where I live...so ya know he's good by me.

Evidently he has picked up on a few things I have written here and there. trending milder in my smoking and stuff, and today a dozen cigars showed up without a word of warning!

Amazingly enough, I believe I have only had 2 or 3 of them...AF Hemmi Signature (great smoke) and La Aurora Double Fig corojo (been a looong time since that one) and possibly the San Cristobal Elegancia, but maybe not.

the others that he thought I might enjoy in my search for flavorful cigars below pepper bomb levels, and that somehow I have never had) are:

MOW Virtue (x2) 2018
CAO Black (x2) 2017
Latitude Zero 2016
Camacho CT 2018 haven't had any "new" label Camachos IIRC
Hammer & Sickle 2019
Nat Sherman Sterling 2017 wanted to try but too costly...HA!
Herrera Esteli (toro esp?) 2019 I definitely wrote for opinions on this brand recently.

I've rethought the OP and I do know why he did this...cuz he's a truly great and thoughtful BOTL and a friend who looks out for me.

Thanks, Rick, you crazy bastid!

Wow!!! I can't believe they got there already, I just mailed them yesterday, Thursday, at around 2pm...that's some quick shipping!

Actually, there's a story about this shipment you may find funny....I actually picked up celticbomber in the N00b Pib, and when he sent me his addy, it was Frank's, but knowing and having been to Frank's house, I knew whose addy it was right away.
Well Stephen convinced me it would be an interesting surprise to send them with Stephen's name and Frank's addy, and see if we could game Frank a little bit(and I had meant to send a little Congratulations to Frank on his Retirement, but time got away from me and I never did). I told Celtic it would never work, because Frank knew my address and stuff. So, I boxed them up and addressed the box to Stephen at Frank's addy. and mailed the box out a week ago Friday...last Saturday I checked on the confirmation # and got a message that Stephen **** was unknown at that address and box was being returned to sender. I got the box back here Thursday, readdressed it and sent it on it's way again. So Frank, if you peel the paper address label off the box, you will find the original addy underneath written in black Sharpie...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy them, and Congrats on the Retirement...Beer Also thanks to Stephen for helping set this in motion...Applause

when I broke up the box for the recycling bin (like a good lib do) I saw StePHen's name with my address under the taped on paper with corrections.
Thought it was a joke and that you changed your mind.
and never listen to him. He sucks.
