Well, a little while ago I jumped in and did a blind trade with Rick, it was kind of a rush job but I put together a selection of what I thought were my better smokes and got them off. He was headed out traveling and would get some back to me when he got home. No big deal, I'm in no hurry. Man am I glad I am patient! This came back with interest. Like big time "vig". I've never had any of these, or knew they existed to be honest. Until recently I've never smoked a cigar with any real time on it. Let alone Cubans, I've had a couple "cubans" over the years, but you know how that goes. I know, I'm rambling, but I keep getting swatted hard by you guys. I'm still reeling from the last hit. But I'll get to the point. Fortunately he included a list which I am eminently grateful for. Herein is the goodness. This is an incredible bunch of smokes. Tatajue Black 2016, from the jar release NH Liga Privada Dirty Rat 2015 (I've heard of those, never seen one) Fuente 858 Sun Grown (black band) NH Fuente 858 Rosado 2013 (red band) NH Tatajue 7th Reserva 2016 NH Then we get to the CC's. w:d/ Ramon Allones Superior 2017 NH Juan Lopez #2 2016 NH PSD #4 2016 NH Le Hoyo de San Juan tubo 2017 NH And then, then there is the "Coffin"!. That is an original My Father Reserve hand rolled by Pepin Garcia himself in 2009! I'm almost afraid to smoke that one! That is getting set aside for a very special occasion. Wow. Simply wow! Thanks Rick. Very very generous of you and it's greatly appreciated, and will be enjoyed. Vince |

Beautiful selections, Rick I know. This is the damnedest bunch of generous folks I've ever met. I've smoked more good cigars in the last couple months than I have in my whole life. |

Yeehaw! Awesome blind(sided) trade! All the “old-timers” knew this was a set up for a nOOb so they sat back and waited...I’d say the entertainment factor is 11 on a scale of 10. |

he's right, smoke 'em...they'll roll more! LOL. That is the one thing I never stopped to consider, but I'm thinking you're right. I'll take that kind of ambush any day of the week, and love it! |

I've got to tell you; A. I'm glad I'm the one that bit, and B. I honestly think my entertainment level is going to exceed 11 with this package. |

Had to move her out of Camp Harlem where she was a councilor all summer then get the place, get her furniture, get her moved in. She then demanded a ridiculous amount of alcohol be bought so of course being the super dad I am I loaded up her fridge and storage area with beer and wine. She's been there a week now with 3 other girls.... they drank it all. I dunno what I was thinking... I figured they'd be good for a month. Silly me. She's an Irish Jew alright. When the booze is out the Irish comes out. Only a matter of time before I have to bail her out for beating the **** out of 3 or 4 guys.... |
