Holy Freaking COW and WTF.....

I wake up just a few minutes ago and drag my sorry butt to my office to find a box sitting on my desk. I look at the label cause I have not ordered any thing and was not expecting nothing and see that its got Dpnewell's name on the box! I knew then one of those numbers was sent here, dang it!

I opened it up and yep... I Got to agree, you don't want this man to send you a box cause good God all mighty!

A total of 16 damn fine looking cigars, An awesome table lighter and a Palio cutter. Then a note that states about where I had posted about me not aging cigars and thus not having such. Also in the note reminding me of forum rules No return fire on RAOK's? Signed dpnewell. (I have not seen such a rule, are you making this up?)

At first glance and to give a small hint I see a La Perla Black Pearl that is wrapped in cedar with the purple foot band which is rare I think. A 601 Brass Monkey which I think was a limited... The list goes on and on.

I am not going to list them all here as I want to do a photo and a proper write up so I can try my best to do this justice.

First, all I can say is WOW, Chit, WTF and many other colorful words.

David, you have humbled me to say the absolute least sir. I do not deserve such by no means and I can not say Thank You enough for your kindness as it knows no bounds.

When people do things like this it means so much more to me than a gift, or a RAOK. Each cigar to me is a time that is given to me that I will have being at peace, A time I will hurt less, A time I will be able to think about people that I love and care for in my life, a time I can dwell on of the friends in my life and the ones I have lost. A time that I can realize no matter how bad things are how great my life has been.

Each cigar is time given where life as a whole is at its all time high. For myself in this day and age that is a rare thing. Thank you to all my BOTL that has done such and thank you David! You sir have given me time that I hold very close and dear to my heart.

^^Chris, you are a good brother, and you deserve a nice hit. You had mentioned that you did not have any aged cigars, so IIRC, I sent you 6 that have been aged between 3 and 10 years. They where together in one bag, and they should have stickers on them stating the age.

The Morado I sent you is the OR blend. They where last made in 2007. Here's an 4 page thread from '12 that explains everything.

No, the Brass Monkey is not really a limited edition. It's just some other place's exclusive. I was trying to fill in with some stronger full body cigars, as you mentioned you preferred that style.

I really love that lighter and have several that I won here for cheap. A compact table top that is somewhere between a full size table top and pocket lighter. I like that I can light maybe a dozen cigars between fills, where I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 lights from a pocket lighter. The Palio is also no big deal. If you know how to properly bid on them, you can pick them up here for "throw away" cutter prices.

Anyhow, just a little simple appreciation for a great brother. Hopefully you'll enjoy at least some of them. Oh, and forum rules (FOGS back me up, lol). No paybacks on RAOKs.
