[quote=Sunoverbeach]Well wasn't an even contest. I let my opponent pick the battlefield and I had luggage weight restriction fees to consider

Though, we could be neighbors and I'd still be wary of going up against your supply [/quote]

Homefield advantage. 🇨🇮

[quote=benja123]This is non-elitest, right? I don thin so...here's the lowdown on Conan's long awaited punishment- no pics this time my phone's acting up.

What an amazing haul! Included a very nice note detailing the sticks and some helpful info included so I appear well informed

Mulvadi Hawaiian Kona Coffee
2 4 oz bags OneTon Chips- can't wait to try these
Hawaiian Sun coconut pineapple pancake mix
Hawaiian Sun big box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts- gained 5 pounds just looking at em
Rocky's Shira Yuki (Tako) dried seafood snack- intriguing protein snack- looking forward to trying both if my Indonesian DIL doesn't get to them first!
Rocky's Shira Yuki (Crab) dried seafood snack
Bag of cool vintage Hawaiian pogs from Kaleo's Music- they remind me of the cardboard pull tops on old fashioned milk bottles
CD of classic Hawaiian Music planning on a tropical drink w/smoke to enjoy & pretend I'm on vacation
3 more CS's with over an hour each of various rock classics and some I'm not familiar-looks like great selections
Huggies Natural Care by wipes- I happen to know someone who can use them :)

the meticulously aged cigars- all marked & dated

AF Magnum R44 (12/4/14) w/ reco to smoke soon-no problem! had and enjoyed
AF Magnum R52 (2/24/14) -nh
AF Anejo #46 (6/16/14) -nh
MF Conn Toro- (11/23/15) one of my absolute favorite morning smokes-never had a well aged one-can't resist smoking them all
OMB 3 robusto (8/24/19)-love them
Tat 7th Capa Especial (2/5/14)-nh
Tat 7th Reserva (12/9/13)-connie broadleaf wrapper-yum-nh
Tat Black Label Corona Grande (9/16/14)-nh
Tat Noella Reserva (1/9/15)-nh
Tat Petite Cazadores Reserva (2/22/16) -had and loved

I wish I had the ability to organize and restrain my habits to age my own but even better is to get ones where someone else has done all the work!

BIG Thanks Conan, for the thoughtful and delicious selection- We will be having 100 plus temps with accompanying high dew points for the rest of the summer (which lasts till mid October here) so I will enjoy these as my first morning smokes after a small nap.
It was dicey on the USPS delivery delay but well worth the wait.

Your cold revenge is sweet.

I forgot the cool asian soup spoon, have a bigger version I use all the time, nice to have another!

Lemme know if you need my Kaneohe address. [/quote]


Still waiting on boxes from PO. 😣


Will look around and see if I can scrounge up a regular old box for shipping. Will work on getting shipped out next week Conan.

No sweat Ron. I’ve been a little slow in packing your box too.

One Ton Chips 4 oz package only made it to the 2nd day. Extra treadmill time now scheduled but it was worth it. Thank the lord this stuff costs too much for me to pay for shipping, or I would be the one tonner

Napalm, package is on the way.


I pass my turn to Delta1.

Sounds like you liked them. But if not, I'mma sure there are "volunteers" out there that will gladly take the 2nd bag off of your hands.

In case you didn't see this:

https://one-ton.com/product-category/chips/ 

The 3 - 15 oz. bags deal is a pretty good deal. Even with the $14 shipping charge, it's less than $12 per bag. The best deal locally is at Sam's Club at $10 per bag and with tax, almost $10.50.

I'm pretty sure they call this "enabling". When I need a new belt, it'll be your fault! They are very addictive and oddly nostalgic for me. I remember something like this on a pu-pu platter in my youth. Thanks for the memories AND the calories!

It's actually called pushing. Conan's portfolio has large investments in Maebo

I've always suspected this

Couple of things:

1. Punch a hole and extend the life of your current one.

2. OTC on a pupu platter...so you were in Hawaii back in the day?

3. Calories are a minor setback (...see #1 above...)

Thanks David. Looking forward to it landing.

Palama,
Actually never been to Hawai but the Chinese place when I was growing up in NY had em. Flaming pupu platter was a favorite!

At the rate things are going, probably be a l-o-n-g while before you even *think* about getting into a plane and flying here. [gonzo]

Another slight delay. We had a sh*t show of storms roll through yesterday and knock out our power. Electric company is estimating Saturday after 3:00pm before it's restored. Sorry!

Don’t worry...it’s not like I don’t have any cigars to smoke. 🇨🇮

If your low I can help.

Just sayin

Ahhhhh, no. Not low. 🤐

Same here, Ron. 27ish hours now with no power. Electric company's not even giving estimates. And I work for them too
