This should be fun.........I will pickup Conan. Here is the catch....I won’t be “sending” Conan anything.










Instead, I will hand deliver them sometime between 20 -24 May when I go out there for a quick business trip.

David

I gift my turn to Just Relax (who initially gifted me his turn).













I will beat up AL through other means. 😳

TTT

Don’t know what or where Anna O’Briens is. I will look it up. Thursday for sure at the Row Bar.

David gifted his turn to Just Relax.

Sheesh! I can’t believe it took me 3 full weeks to hunt and peck but apologies to Stinger and Delta for the tardiness.

So, earlier last month, Delta gifted his turn to me and David immediately picked me up with the caveat that he would be hand delivering the PIB to me. All good. We got together on the 23rd at The Row Bar to do the handoff.

David walks in, hands me two 5-finger bags and declares: “This one is the PIB, this one is, I dunno, extra?” He goes over a couple of the cigars and then pulls out ANOTHER 5-finger bag and says, “Oh, and here’s another one. I think you can figure out who it’s from.” After a few stunned moments, I recognized the handwriting on the bag and realized it was from Delta. “WTF!” I muttered (...well, not the letters, the full phrase...). Sneak attacked!

Without further ado, the damages:

PIB from David
A. Fuente Don Carlos 2007 Toro (nh)
La Perla Habana Black Pearl Toro - the legendary cedar sleeve purple foot OR!
Tatuaje TAA 51th (nh)
Cohiba Genios Maduro (cc) - nh but been wanting to try
Montecristo Petit Edmundo (cc) - love these!

The “extra” bag
Camacho Corojo Centros (OR) (nh)
DPG Blue Exquisitos - quality smoke, can’t wait to spark this up
Drew Estate Undercrown Dirty Rat - enjoyed the one I had a couple years ago
Illusiones Fume D’Amour Concepcions (nh)
Tatuaje Verocu No. 3 Corona Larga (nh)

The PIB bag, in and of itself was awesome, the extras made it even mo’ awesome! Thank you so much David!

*****************************************************************************************

The “sneak attack” bag from Delta - all nh and super excited to ash them up!
BLTC Bishop’s Blend Robusto - have had the Corona Larga but not this vitola
Curivari Vintage 550 - been hearing some good things about this brand
HVC La Rosa 520 Small Batch Exclusive - dark and sexy...looks deeeelicious
Padron Family Reserve #44 Torpedo Maduro - wha’ da! Special occasion smoke fo’ sure
Padron 50th Anniversary “The Hammer” Maduro - really? This is one of those unicorns us mere mortals can only dream about!

I seriously never thought I would ever see, let alone have a chance to smoke either of the two Padrons. Al, you are one heck of a generous brother. Somehow “Thank you” is not enough. Your note on the bag and our subsequent e-mail exchange has calmed me down a bit but know this: This aggression will not stand, man.

Some day, when you least expect it, I will get my honor back!

Dink on Dink action.

No list outrage

From June 22, 2018 - Was / Is this your list?

I think it might be time to put together a more detailed list.

TTT

I only got 1 on the list Stinger, a good one but a young one as well. Kick JustRelax azz if you get this. Looking forward to the next list

Addy sent David. Thanks for picking me up.

Just now seeing this.

Working on it.

Just Relax, I swear I haven’t forgotten.

No worries David.

Thanks Bee but I am good to go. It goes out Tuesday.

Just Relax, went out today.

Well David's package arrived today. The mail was three hours late I think because the mailman had to get gloves to handle the heat radiating from it. Opening the box up was a joy in itself with the aroma that came out.

Here's the list of an awesome selection:

Diplomaticos #2. My all time fave - and the place I buy from has had them once in the last year and was sold out before I could act.

Bolivar BF - my second fave

Undercrown shade. I've smoked one and really need to revisit as it was very enjoyable.

Illusione 88 - I smoked one of these before I had any idea what good or bad was. I am really looking forward to trying this one to see how different my experience is because I think this will be fantastic based on memory.

LP T52 - NH the T52 and the smaller ring gauge (I believe pc) is where I'm heading with what I like.

Padron 1964 - NH the natural. Looking forward to this one its in the smaller size as well.

Tatuaje TAA special addition. This is the TAA with the San Andres wrapper. I guess maybe a TAM? I've never heard of it and am very interested to see how it smokes. It may change my opinion of tats...

This selection is absolutely mind blowing. I will be reserving all of these for a special night when I can sit down and thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for the pick up David.

Tatuaje taa 51th

One of the few I buy a box of. I will be resting those I don’t give away.
