Received a surprise going-away smacking from a great FOG.. Rasta.

John is going to hang his smoking shoes up, please join me in wishing him the best.

A fellow collector/smoker of fine smokes, and the man who stumbled on the 858 Rosados and started a frenzy around these parts.

Hail,

and good luck bro!

What??? Rasta's giving up smoking??? Man, I hope it was because he decided to move along, not because of health issues!

Rasta best of luck to you! Drop by and post once in a while, even if you don't smoke, just to let us know how you're doing!

Good luck to you Rasta. I'm sorry I haven't been around long enough to get to know you. But from what I've read you're a true BOTL.

Anymore info on why he's giving up cigars ... or is it too personal for me to ask?

People are going to make a lot of assumptions here, many which could be way off base ...

Thank you all very much for the good wishes. I was never a prolific poster but certainly enjoyed lurking around with an occasional trade here and there. Lowman...I don't think we ever had the good fortune of doing a trade (at least that I recall, unless there was an 858 Rosada a while back) but I would love to fire a small package your way once I get back to clearing out the humidors. Shoot me an email with your addy to [email protected].

Best wishes in all that you do rasta. Unfortunately I only started trading and wished I would've started sooner so that I could've gotten to know such a respected and fine BOTL. If you ever decide to have one for old times sake...I'll always have one with your name on it.
