Minding my own business, trying to be a good person, keeping my nose clean and such... then 3 azzhats stroll along and beat the **** out of me for no good reason!
https://ibb.co/d4Hnfnf
(Not pictured: illusion hl Maduro and a viaje of some sort... got to smoking at the herf last night!)
Apparently I told cheno I'd never had the chance to sample a lot of viaje products... well apparently thats the wrong thing to tell a guy like greg...
Cheno, much appreciated... I believe sunoverbeach and deadeyedick played an integral part in this as well, so thank you a great deal to you two gentlemen as well! I'm undeserving and can't thank the three of you enough! |

Notheone, aka Leo, aka Puerto Rican Lovitz hit me with a sweet 6er and a beautiful Oliva lighter!

Well poop... apparently no one got the memo that I'm an unloved azzhole who should be left alone to die...
Mjrburn hit me today with a whopper of a 10 pack! 5er of Viajes I've never had and another 5er that contains a couple cigars I've never had and a few I haven't gotten a chance to try in quite some time... very much appreciated sir!
https://ibb.co/YtpMcjx
Seriously guys, I'm overwhelmed by the generosity and rather unsure what lies cheno told you to make you all believe i was deserving of this...
Thank you again to all of you! Totally unexpected and greatly appreciated...

Awesome! Great job! |

I didn’t know you needed Viaje.... |
| 11. Author: Sunoverbeach | Date: Fri, 1/22/2021, 11:15PM EST | |
Mentioned on the Vherf he hasn't smoked one. Don't think he'll make a mistake like that again. Of course, if this keeps up you'll be left with a bunch of drunk old guys afraid to speak |

Well deserved, Oppie. Now take it like a man!
(Cheno has definitely shown his prowess and that he is a fine BOTL. I have talked with him on the v-herf many times and he is a class act- hardworking, family oriented, gentleman so I propose we no longer consider him a noob- if I am aloud to make such a proposal- maybe we should have to ask RAM? or at least Frank and X?) |

Also thanks for the kind words on me. Thanks Greg. I appreciate the fact that you’ve become an active forum member and hope the path to better cigars gets broader and broader as the years go by. |

Easy to be generous with this group, only other brotherhood I've experienced like this was the Marines. Sorry it took so long, USPS has some issues lately. Like coming for a scheduled pickup of 2 boxes but only grabbing one. Also my first car was a 1974 Opel Manta Luxus. I loved that car. Could drive from Riverside to Sequoias Nat Park and back on less than one tank of gas. and the seats reclined so you could sleep in it too! |

Got a serious beat down today...
https://ibb.co/3ymdQzW
Delta got me with 11 cigars, 10 of which I've never gotten the chance to sample...
Plus a box of see's and a bag of truffles! He knows me way too well!
Al, you're amazing... you've always been an indescribably generous guy and I can never thank you enough...
All you guys are amazing and I really can't thank all of you enough! |

Hope you like some of them, Opel...enjoy! |

I thought this was over!
MFR from the islands landed today....
https://ibb.co/zRxPQ58
One-tons, wun tuns, bunches of different chocolate covered macadamia delicacies, music, Ramen spoons, coffee, cigars, and more!!!
Conan, I can't say thank you enough... wife is incredibly excited as well... I sincerely doubt much of the chocolate survives the night... the cigars may last a little longer...
Thank you again Conan!
