BP and everyone else thanks for being tolerant with my excessive tardiness with your bombs. I also appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers. My grandfather is well on the way to recovery. The stroke didn’t cause too much damage and they are going to treat it with drugs and monitor the situation. It has only slowed down my grandfather a little bit (which isn’t necessarily a good thing). He is still go, go, go. God love him. I wish that I’ll have half the balls as him when I’m 88 (if I even make it that far). The doctors have told us that they are not going to do anything with the tumor that they found when they did the scans on him. At his age the doctors just told him to enjoy life to the fullest and they will just monitor this along with the stroke.

OK, I am currently finishing up the packages and I hope that when you guys receive them you will find them to be worth the wait. I have tried to do more than just “put some cigars in a box and send them” kind of thing. Unfortunately, it has taken me much longer than I’d anticipated. Combine that with my natural laziness and it will make for a slow road. But it is a road that I hope you will enjoy. More to follow tomorrow.

652 in Texas? That is the address that I have.

I still need Charles/Betadawg's last name. The PO won't send a package without a last name.

i did not know tuckersdad's last name, so i would "Charlie Betadog" him...it should work if the addy is right.

2 threads out there so I thought I would post this here too.

Buckwheat your package arrived and..........WOW!!!!!!!

This is not what I was expecting but........WOW!!!!!!!

Sorry, already said that.

15 great sticks that a newbie like me would have no idea how or where to find. It's going to be hard to leave them alone for even a little while.

While the sticks are fantastic the info your provided will be a great help in exploring this "hobby". That could not have been a small task compiling all that info so thanks for your time as well as the cigars. I plan to put it/them all to good use.

Again thanks for your generosity and time. You are truly one fine BOTL.

Dawg

P.S. Did I say WOW!!!
