The slow mail train to Hoosierland landed today. Poor old pack mule looked to have been driven all the way here without a breather.
After the last nuclear bombing, I was pleasantly surprised to find a peaceful SFR from Tele packed with both grace and restraint.

Inside I found what appears to be concern that my LFD edumacation was thoroughly covered.
There was an LFD toro sampler which included:
- Ligero L400 - nh this vitola
- Ligero Cabinet Oscuro L400 - dam fine smoke
- Dbl Ligero DL654 - nh this vitola
- Dbl Ligero DL654 Maduro - nh
- Airbender Guerrero - nh this vitola
Then there was
LFD Ligero L250 Tubo - nh
Then to mix it up a bit
CH w/DE La Coalicion corona gorda - nh
Ashton Maduro cigarillo - nh
DE Factory Smokes cigarillo - nh

Thank you kindly, Ben. Excellent set of smokes with some new ones and new sizes to try. I'm excited to get started. Now, if I could only find some storage...

Nice. This isn’t an ordinary noob guys …. His movements are different.

You calling me a weirdo?
I mean you're probably not wrong but I think sob prefers lunatic.

Yeah…, But I like weirdos. And lunatics. Hell I figure I’ve never really fit in here but that’s ok. I’m odd you love me or you don’t. I’m gonna be the same weirdo tomorrow. You just didn’t come in begging for free smokes and get free smokes without saying thank you then leave as quick as you arrived. Because that’s the “normal” ive seen.

I always prefer lunatics. Hell, my wife married one

^Yeah, JFR has some pretty good stuff.

Ha!

Oh.
Did I do it wrong
Is this where I get free stuff?
Who wants to send me free stuff?



No takers?
Oh well I tried.

Not so fast! I will send you some free stuff Tele. You need picking up, right? See, asked and answered. Now, who wants to send DG west deptford some smokes?

And your package landed Tele, you no counting #@$! List coming tomorrow.

Glad they made it.
I thought I was pretty gentle.
I mean it could have been a LFR.

He meant "#@$!" with love

^ Yes I did!

So, as I mentioned, Tele's box landed, and full of things I like and some never hads. I am especially intrigued by this Rojas thing, never had anything by them. Thank you so much Ben!

I'll moving in slow motion, will mail your box out this weekend.

Damn. From what I've been reading in just the last bit on this page, Tele, you're raising the bar for the rest of us n00bs here. XD But in all seriousness, way to kill it man. Hopefully I'll be not too far behind you. Also, from what I'm seeing here, gonna be a bit before I get a good variety of smokes to send a box as I'm literally starting from scratch. But I have that in my sights. #goals

Jump in any time you feel like it, dr3w. None of us started with Koobans and rare limited boutique smokes. At it's core, this PIB's about establishing trade cred and trying out some smokes you may not have come across yet. The malicious generosity just kind of evolved somewhere along the line.

^^^^All your fault Mr. Beach.^^^^^^^^
I came here trying to be nice and quiet and just slip in line somewhere.
But you had to drag me out in the court yard and start with the lashing.
I still know where you live.

Don't poke that bear either.

Box landed according to back home on the mainland. Will post damages when I get home to it.

There's a little Boveda in there, Cheno, so the smokes can wait a while while you get some R&R.

Jake I will get out this week.

No rush Corey. Whenever buddy
