Cheno and his FIL, Bob, conspired to have Bob hand deliver a surprise SFR when we met up at The Row Kakaako this afternoon / early evening. In the box were eight beauties, all but one NH:

Aganorsa Leaf Signature Robusto (nh)
Ashton Classic 8-9-8 (nh)
Ashton VSG Sorcerer - an excellent smoke!
Casa Fuente Churchill (nh)
Davidoff Small Batch Exclusive 2018 (nh)
Illusione Epernay Le Grande CG (nh)
JRE Aladino Sumatra Toro (nh)
L’Atelier Surrogates 7th Sam Robusto (nh)

Gonna lettum acclimate for a bit but looking forward to ashing them up in a few weeks.

Mahalo Greg (…and Bob…)!

Have to believe hand delivering a RAOK to Hawaii has got to be the best method of delivery. Great job

That's cuz in this case Hawaii has significant arms reserves. Nobody dares to wake the sleeping giant.

Nice hit, Greg by proxy

Cheno has been here a while, plus I’ve seen him on the V-Herf….his face alone qualifies him for fog Status.

I tried to keep within the parameters you gave me two years ago - Bob either smokes Cohiba Siglo IIIs or yardgars. As you know, Bob got my last Sig III when youse guys were here a couple years ago so went with the near yardies (…or at least cigars that he wouldn’t necessarily consider “premiums”…).

I know he REALLY liked the Chinese pretzels and in fact, Homer and I talked about how we’d get homemade CPs when we were growing up but because they’re so delicate, they’d be given to us in coffee cans. Heck, now that I’ve renewed my love of them, I’ll go out on a limb and proclaim them BETTER than One-Ton Chips! That’s right, I said it! As much as OTCs are a part of my small kid time memories, those homemade Chinese pretzels are #1. Mebbe ‘cause you couldn’t get them in the stores (…at least back then…) or mebbe ‘cause we might get only one or 2 cans a year so hadda savor them when we did. IDK, memories make us rich and those two snack items are truly an embedded part of my growing up.

Awesome, thanks! Like I said didn't see them in person just a pic that was just of the top half and I was guessing by the looks and trying to figure out the sizes by the pic. Not an easy task lol.
