So yeah I just got a very nice sampler of cigars to try. A few were on my secret list of cigars I want to try. I think palama may have remembered me asking about some of the fuente cigars he was smoking. I have one or two in my humidor somewhere I’ve been wanting to try so after these recover from their long journey I’m gonna burn a couple up . Funny I love olives but I’ve only had one g in my life. I’ve been wanting to give them a go because the oliva line holds a special place to me. I like all the cigars I’ve tried from them as far as I recall

Also inside my fat box from palama were some super cool goodies

Super nice bag of Hawaiian isles Kona coffee co. Classic coffee. Pretty excited about this. I love coffee

2 bags of Maebo’s one ton chips. Gonna get all up on them soon Again super excited. Never had these either Or the coffee. Or the cigars. Or....

Kona krunch chocolate covered macadamia nuts with some rice crisp. I love everything in these. I know they’re gonna be good

Hawaiian host. Milk chocolate covered macadamias. I know these are gonna be good too

Also...... Hawaiian sun guava flavored juice mix. I’m feeling like a small child first introduced to kool aide again. No lie. I’m gonna try this tonight

Also... Hawaiian sun passion orange flavored juice mix

Maybe try this one tonight. One or the other I’m drinking

Heck he even sent me a new v cutter. Super cool.

Alright palama. Excuse my ignorance on the last one here. You’ve sent me three poker chip sized thingys that appear to have a perforated center. Like I should fold them. I honestly thought they were golf ball markers 😂. I mentioned I loved golf in a pm. I feel like they may possibly hold a cigar if folded but they’re way cool trinkets whatever they are. Can you help a brotha ID these three??

Way super cool hit palama. Appreciate the heck out of it. Plus who doesn’t like new snacks and coffee. Very very nice cigars too. I’m fairly confident I’ll love all of these. Again many of these I have wanted to try or did not know about. Thank you very much I’m gonna step out for a smoke now. And make some new juice lol

The "discs" are milk caps or "pogs" from my once-upon-a-time Hawaiian music mail order company. Some of the FOGs fondly remember the milk caps from their youth, many, many years ago.

Glad I hit on some on your secret list and I did notice an absence of Fuentes whenever you posted up on the “What'cha Smok'in" thread so thought I'd dig out a few favorites of mine.

Did I pack a spoon in your box?

I’ve never smoked a fuente or a crowned heads. I did snag a Hemingway a bit back that I want to burn soon. I’ve always read about the 858 just hadn’t got my hands on one yet.

Yes you did send a spoon along. I had put everything back into the box so I could do my homework and had left it on the counter You sent so much along I forgot about it when I was going through my things. This is a noodle spoon I believe ?

Oh I got into the chocolate covered macadamias ate a couple. Gonna save the rest for tomorrow. They’re very good

Yes, primarily used for noodles but for any soupy dish really. I find them much better than a Western-style soup spoon.

Awesome bombing, Conan =d>

My packing skills are nowhere near Benja-esque so try to send stuff that’s either htf or stuff I really like.

One thing fo’ sure, getting Fuentes at good prices is tough, especially once MAP was put into place and enforced by the big (...and sometimes not so big...) brands.

That corn cob pipe came from here. I usually smoke from one of those. I have a ton of them. The stems suck in them but you can interchange to something better. Davidoff flake is really good too. Heck I smoke all that stuff

My favorite cigar on that list is the pepin original. I keep boxes of those around.

Enjoy!
