I got home today after spending the week-end puttering around the new house in Corona, visiting my daughter, and babysitting my grandson. There was a package on the front porch, and I thought it must be one of the bathroom fixtures I've ordered for the master bath renovation.

Nope, it was a package containing a great selection of cigars from jeferris, with a neatly handwritten note explaining that it was an RAOK in return for the OpFTH prize that I sent him earlier this year. He must've really liked it because he sent me an amazing lineup:

Fuente OpusX belicoso
My Father Special
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Firecracker
Padron Anniversary Maduro 1964
Viaje Skull and Bones FOAB? not sure which vitola
Warped Flor Del Valle

I told him before that it was not necessary or appropriate to send me anything because those OpFTH prizes are pure gifts.
He obviously doesn't understand my version of English...totally unnecessary (please don't, don't send me anything, you mustn't return fire...)

...But appreciated nonetheless. Thank you very much John.

Dayum!

Yahoo! That is quite a lineup!

But don't worry Al, I'll help "even the score." :-"

Nice return from a solid BOTL.....Well done John!!!!

I could see where he may not have understood. You were a bit vague, Al.

Yea...I kinda skipped over that part. I all remembered was that the addy was still valid...for a worthy thank you.

Lol nicely done

8-[ ummmmm....don't hurt him too much....ok? Silverbacks are endangered...
