Santa completed his driveby yesterday while I was down in Foxboro watching my Patriots win their 11th straight division title....Yeah Patriots My wife was here by herself when the maillady pulled up on a forklift....this box is HUGE.....I have no idea how my wife managed to get it into the house by herself.....the shipping box is the size of a microwave oven. I'm guess Santa was USAF Lt. Colonel Stinger......based on the very cool challenge coin , and the small batch hot sauce from Fla. Thank you so much Stinger.......this box is loaded with goodies, and I promise to list it up later today, but I gotta run(wife has an ear infection, and they got us a quick appt. with her Dr. ) Thanks again Stinger, Fantastic selection of almost all NHs smokes.... |

Colibri Man O' War Ruination cutter 2 Packs Clint & Sons Beef Jerky original and Black Label Jar of Texas Texas Salsa Jar of Pepper Works Jalapenos (looks like a spicy suppah tonight) 2 Bags of Cafe Ole coffee Texas Pecan and Taste of Austin
5 H.R. Blue Toros (nh) 5 Fuente King B (it's a guess, I'm not all that familiar with Fuente, nh) 10Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sungrown (nh).
My guess for my Secret Santa is Whistlebritches. Thank you and Merry Christmas! I was so flummoxed by the generosity of my Secret Santa that I forgot to list the bottle of Alamo Bourbon (very nice, BTW) that was included. I apologize for any angst I may have caused. |

Ok, here goes, pretty unfamiliar with a lot of these smokes, so feel free(please) to correct me.... a 5 cigar DE Undercrown Nuestros Puros Gift Set-with lighter and cutter....NH(have a few resting, but never smoked) a CAO Angry Santa nh or seen before, but with a little research, it's a tweaked version of the CAO La Traviata, which I really like, so I'm anticipating this will be right in my wheelhouse. Excited to give it a try Padron Xooo torp...never had the torp, but have had a few other vitolas, and love em Tat Skinny Monster Jekyll?....NH the skinny version, but have had the Little Monster Jekyll DE Liga Privada T52 petit corona NH....had one in humidor(different vitola), but I offered box to a friend, and he chose that one(this one's for me) Don Pepin Garcia OR exquisitos great smoke Padron 1964 Anny Series NH the 1964....looking forward to it Tat TAA 50th (2018) NH, but I've heard good things...looking forward to it Tat TAA 51th(not a mistake)2019 NH or heard of....review I read promise potato chips, coffee, and wasabi on retro got me intrigued AF Rosado Gran Reserva NH the Rosado AF Reserva Don Carlos....love these now we enter rareified air for me....CCs, pretty much one of the uninitiated here...... 2 Bolivar RC....these I've had a few of, and really like Por Laranga Petit Corona NH Montecristo #5? NH Cohiba Tres Petit Corona? NH El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme NH and to finish up the smokeables... a 5 pack tin of H. Upmann half coronas with a date of UER Dec. '17....NH looking forward with great anticipation to sample all these Quban never hads Now on to the swag...like I said earlier, this box was the size of a microwave oven, so, away we go... I don't drink a lot of hard liquor these days, but still enjoy my Tekillya from time to time, and New Years is coming up... Stinger included a fantastic Patron Mule gift set, which included 750ml of Patron Silver Tequila, and two very cool Mule Toasting Mugs....I think I'll be the Belle Of The Ball drinking from these on NYE!!! Love Patron, but almost never make the plunge into that end of the pool.....Thank You so much for this.. also included was a 1/4 pound pack of Bacon Jerky....yum a 3 gift box of 3 Budweiser BBQ sauces and silicone basting brush...I live near Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Merrimack N.H., and have used 2 out of the 3 of these and loved them both...looking forward to trying the Honey version included in the pack a very cool set of 4 24oz. double walled stainless steel Pilsner glasses....think a Yeti thermal cup in a Pilsner shape...these will definitely get some use....I bet they make it to the Boogie and Blues Fest next summer\ oh yeah, the cigars all came packed in a very cool snaplock type container and last but not least was the cool Challenge coin Lt. Colonel Stinger enclosed(and tipped me off to his identity by the way) ooops, almost forgot the locally made hot sauce....Charlie's Old Mexico Hot Sauce from Modica Market, Seaside Fla. Thank You very much Stinger....this was a fantastic gift....Hope Santa brings you and yours everything you had on your list.....Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you!!!!!! ................and to the rest of you crazy Bassturds too.... |

RMAN, you are more than welcome. Cool story, if you have seen the movie “The Truman Show”, the hot sauce is from the little market that was featured in the movie. It is not too far from where I live.
Merry Christmas.

Holy Santa-Bombed-the-Hell-Out-of-Me! Went into the office this morning and found two boxes waiting for me, a LFR and a MFR (...the skinnier rectangular version...). The LFR was from a "Herman Munster" living at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Detroit, MI and the MFR from Corey Sellers(WTF?!?!?!). "Herman Munster" hahahahaha! Since radio silence had been broken last week, I was aware of the arrival date and it was gonna be from CelticBomber. But good ol' StePHen having some fun so hadda throw out the fake name and address! But what is this box from Corey? Hmm, gonna have a few words with that boy.... Anyway, got home and busted open the boxes. From "Herman" / Celtic / StePHen: Cohiba cigar scissors - super nice, looks like made from 24k gold! This will definitely replace the cheapie pair I normally use. Vertigo Montecristo table lighter - tried to win one of these a few times but never won one (...I know, I know, losing is a sign of weakness...) 8 oz. flask kit with funnel and two shot cups 375 ml Wild Turkey American Honey - nh 750 ml Bombay Sapphire Vapour Infused Gin - nh (...wifey is the gin drinker, she was smiling when she saw the bottle...) 750 ml Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon - timing is perfect! Been meaning to pick up a bottle. All the bottles were neatly and well padded (...awesome lesson in how to ship liquids...) so everything was intact. This was an awesome Secret Santa hit and quite frankly, if StePHen hadn't reached out to me, I don't know if there was a clue to help decipher who sent the goodies. Nonetheless, thank you very much brother! Worth the wait! Okay, so now the "Corey Sellers" box... I had hit Corey in the nOOb PIB so thought this was some sort of return fire. WRONG!There must be 50+ cigars in two bags plus a bag of Lucky Charms marshmallows. Oh wait a minute, Lucky Charms, with the little leprechaun guy dressed in green tights. Hahahaha! Now I get it. The little Irish dude = Celtic! That was a cool clue...plus, of course, we now have a bag of marshmallows to devour. Gonna take a while to sort out the cigars (NC and CC) so will have to report back in a few days. StePHen, you are too much man! Thanks again. Edit: 56 total cigars (...full report in progress...) |
