Man I hate to post this message, but here it goes. While visiting my parents this past weekend I had my some electronic equipment and my El Presidente Humidor (fully stocked) stolen. Sure I have over 1,000 cigars left in stock, but this contained ALL of my PANs, PAMs, OPUS X, VSG, Gurkha Pre-Embargo Cuban, La Aurora Preferido Platinum Maduro, Hemmingway Maduro, BTL, Anejo, Cuban Stock Maduro, etc. Lost over 150 in all. It took me over 4 years to acquire these and they dissapeared in a flash. I know you guys surf many other sites where people post sticks for sale and trade. Just in case any of you see a listing for cigars of this nature originating from Tennessee (Johnson City area - NE TN) please email me at [email protected] Thanks,

Hokiebama

Oh man ... that is really a horrible thing to hear about. How were they stolen? Was your house broken into?

... seems to me, whoever did this, knew exactly what they were looking for.

My bad ... you said Tennessee (Johnson City area - NE TN), and I know you don't live there, so it wasn't your house.

But I am confused.

Did you take your humidor with you ... and they were stolen there?

Keith ... after careful thought, I've decided to give you the flat panel monitor I sent you, to help balance out your loss.

You do not need to send me any cigars as per our original trade agreement.

I feel that after that shocking loss, someone has to step forward and show you that for every thieving scumbag low-life there is in this world ... there are some good folks out there willing to help even things out.

I know that this won't replace a four year collection of rare premium cigars ... but it will help to ease the pain, and you can hang on to the cigars that you were going to send me.

I have a feeling (knowing the generous person that you are) that 'some' of those gars you mentioned just might be in that package you were going to send me (knowing that it was ready to be mailed before you left) ... ;^)

Slim - my brother. There is no way that I could even entertain your most gracious offer. Remember, I still have many everyday sticks to fall back on. I had originally taken my prize posession of cigars to offer some to my lawyer in Tennessee to help defray some legal bills. Also, I had just purchased a home stereo system for my parents to install into their newly built home. I unpacked my things, my daughter's things and my parents asked me to take the dog out, so I got distracted and forgot to get the rest of the things out of the van. I walked the dog, went inside, and the next morning, GONE! Suffice it to say that I never was able to curb the legal bills since the sticks were taken that night. Also, they are still without music thanks to a brain-dead son who drove the goods 400 miles and virtually hand-delivered them to the bad guys. What a dumb a**!

Just to let you all know, the humidor is varnished wood with burl and beveled glass on top. Also, the hygrometer is on the outside in front. Just in case they show a picture.

Nice Gesture Slimboli.
Hokie is a great guy.
Those Fugging thieves could have just asked him and he would have been most generous with them. I hope they get caught, and Hokie gets his smokes back.

Hokie - Please send me an email or just send me your snailer...

I just found some premiums laying on the front of my car. Could it be that they fell out of your Van...

But Wait - This are not Domestic Premiums....

Just your snailer - My Brother!

Regards,

B
