. . .Mine too, but he beat me to it. He's fast.

Me ? I'm still sittin' here trying to come up with a punchline for . . . "What do you get when you cross a Hawaiian and a Jew ? " 🤔

An undersized professional wrestler named the Kosher Kilauea?

A surfer who won't call his mother (and should have been a doctor)?

ETA Monday…..out of respect to Tripod’s request I only packed two 3 finger bags.

Gotta figure out how much interest I owe.... :-"

at ease!

you sent a massive bomb filled with some of the finest cigars on the planet for my 45th anniversary, so I think we are beyond good here.

we got married in West Virginia...HA!

and I laffed at the 3 legged glove cigar bag

That was like f-o-r-e-v-e-r ago! [gonzo]

Surely you smoked all of them by now…. 🙄

oh ya, they are gone and each one by itself would have been a wonderful gift...I think I may have only posted about one or two but I truly savored all of them.

I think I had a question or two...gotta find what I jotted down that I was wondering about

edit:

so, there weren't any from that ethereal batch I did not absolutely love, but wasn't sure I knew much about a couple.

Obviously I knew and loved the very special Padrons...45 year for 45th anny day. And the R44 is one of the greats along with the Flor Fina Rosado. Also love Xtra Viejo, you really walloped me with some of what I have always considered top top shelf favorites of mine.

Not sure I know about that Divine Insp (3/23/18).

Also, there was one you marked Hawaii Exclusive from 12/9/21.

Can't recall knowing about these before smoking them but definitely loved them as well...not a loser in the bunch, not even a meh in there.

Hope that helps.

but he stuffed two cigars in each of the six fingers.

And that, folks, is how a fiver becomes a dozen.

smokes:

Sobremesa Brulee (blue) 46- never had any brulee but often thought I should

LFD Solis...as much of a fan I am about LFD, this is one of the few I have never had

Boli PC...no comment necessary

Perdomo Small Batch Maduro 2005 petit robusto/small corona/half corona...whatever they call the size, it's now called ash (HNixon would be proud of me). Very good, the right kind of strength.

Tat PCR (May 18 box code per Z)

AF MagR44...a personal fave

and in the other 3 finger bag:

a "Real" Camacho 10th Anny...so looking forward to this one. Man, I was such a Camacho Ho years ago...

Eiroa PCA 2021 cammy...don't think I ever knew of these so can't wait

Hemmy Signature sungrown...love these

Aladino Corojo Reserva #4...Z warns me it's "strongish". Never had one, I'm sure I can still handle "strongish"

RyJ...maybe a Cazadore?...per Jamie it was gifted to him a few years back from none other than CBD, the former friend who got me into this mess. HA! Thanks David.

and an unbanded pig tailed lancero that Z says is a one-time special run by Franklin Pichardo...I was unaware of the story until now and will treat this sweet looking smoke with reverence.

Jamie also tossed in some more of his signature grown up chocolates and a cool old school hand written letter in which he shows off his AI skills...wait, not what I meant...HA!

And best of all...no butt plugs!

Fantastic "mood elevator" my friend...thank you so much.

OK, I took my beating. Can I let go of my ankles now?

2012 Cab Franc!

Serra Vineyards, Applegate Valley Southern Oregon.

Apparently no longer in existence.

I completely misinterpreted what a "three finger box" is.

2 in the front

5 in the back.

hey, fool me once...
