Delta/AL comes out of hiding and puts a serious beat down on me. Here is the list of awesome damage!

Fuente Fuente Opus X - I think this one has been aged for awhile, it look yummy.
Padron 50 yrs - my oh my I can’t wait to smoke this beauty
La Palina Goldie - had one of these long ago, mmm mmmm
Partagas Serie D Number 2 CC
AF WOAM - in my top 5 cigars!
Viaje Candy Cane - I am going to be careful with this one, the last time I smoked one I was later heaving in my toilet. I will say it was a wonderful cigar before I hurled.
Bolivar Belicosos Finos - great cigar
Padron Family Reserve 44 yrs (torp) - another high quality smoke
Davidoff Nicaragua box press never had
Casa Cuba Flor Fina - going to guess an OR

Al did a fantastic job with the cigars. He hit this out of the park.

Thank you very much!

This should be fun.........I will pickup Conan. Here is the catch....I won’t be “sending” Conan anything.










Instead, I will hand deliver them sometime between 20 -24 May when I go out there for a quick business trip.

Thanks David. I wasn't expecting that to get around so quickly after it sat for many months.

I think I'll go back to my original request of anything uncommon that you find interesting.

I'll add to that cigars that back a few years ago were much better than what is sold today. Cigars where the older releases or blends were the sweet spot.

Or... any cigar that fits in this PIB. I'm not really picky or looking for anything specific.

Stinger and I herfed at Restaurant Row last night and he passed along the PIB to me. Ten delicious looking smokes. Full details soon.

Oh, but wait, there’s more.

I also got sneak attacked hit by Delta. Details of his marvelous 5er coming up too.

Mahalos to both of youse guys.

Sheesh! I can’t believe it took me 3 full weeks to hunt and peck but apologies to Stinger and Delta for the tardiness.

So, earlier last month, Delta gifted his turn to me and David immediately picked me up with the caveat that he would be hand delivering the PIB to me. All good. We got together on the 23rd at The Row Bar to do the handoff.

David walks in, hands me two 5-finger bags and declares: “This one is the PIB, this one is, I dunno, extra?” He goes over a couple of the cigars and then pulls out ANOTHER 5-finger bag and says, “Oh, and here’s another one. I think you can figure out who it’s from.” After a few stunned moments, I recognized the handwriting on the bag and realized it was from Delta. “WTF!” I muttered (...well, not the letters, the full phrase...). Sneak attacked! [ram27bat]

Without further ado, the damages:

PIB from David
A. Fuente Don Carlos 2007 Toro (nh)
La Perla Habana Black Pearl Toro - the legendary cedar sleeve purple foot OR!
Tatuaje TAA 51th (nh)
Cohiba Genios Maduro (cc) - nh but been wanting to try
Montecristo Petit Edmundo (cc) - love these!

The “extra” bag
Camacho Corojo Centros (OR) (nh)
DPG Blue Exquisitos - quality smoke, can’t wait to spark this up
Drew Estate Undercrown Dirty Rat - enjoyed the one I had a couple years ago
Illusiones Fume D’Amour Concepcions (nh)
Tatuaje Verocu No. 3 Corona Larga (nh)

The PIB bag, in and of itself was awesome, the extras made it even mo’ awesome! Thank you so much David!

*****************************************************************************************

The “sneak attack” bag from Delta - all nh and super excited to ash them up!
BLTC Bishop’s Blend Robusto - have had the Corona Larga but not this vitola
Curivari Vintage 550 - been hearing some good things about this brand
HVC La Rosa 520 Small Batch Exclusive - dark and sexy...looks deeeelicious
Padron Family Reserve #44 Torpedo Maduro - wha’ da! Special occasion smoke fo’ sure
Padron 50th Anniversary “The Hammer” Maduro - really? This is one of those unicorns us mere mortals can only dream about!

I seriously never thought I would ever see, let alone have a chance to smoke either of the two Padrons. Al, you are one heck of a generous brother. Somehow “Thank you” is not enough. Your note on the bag and our subsequent e-mail exchange has calmed me down a bit but know this: This aggression will not stand, man.

Some day, when you least expect it, I will get my honor back!
