Greetings All,

I had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Reynaldo Gonzalez Jimenez and partake in a few fruits of his labor. For those of you that don't know who he is, he is the Mster Roller for Partagas and the factory produces OSU box codes. The OSU is commonly referred to as the best rolled Havana cigars by many. He rolled most of the Havana's that we so dearly love.

To say the least, it was an incredible - once in a lifetime experience.

This was all made possible because of the relationship that I have with "My Local Guy". 🙂

I will share a more detailed story about the experience under cigar and related.

Oh, he is the guy standing up - I am trying to roll the cigar - Ha. Ha.

Regards,

The Legendary smithbw FINALLY shows his mug...

Thanks for sharing...

Low

Great pic Billy and better story.

KC

Great pic Billy.. if you hadn't of told us I'd of thought you were the master roller! What a great experience.. I've seen rollers roll but never like this! Thanks for sharing.
RJ

Great pic, Billy. Great relationship you have with the local, too.

What did Hub step out for a quickie?

Nice pic. I'm still trying to analyze the cover of the Penthouse magazine, though. Are the girl's legs sticking up in the air?

Billy,Nice ta see ya finally. What a great experience you had. X

Ah yes the legendary smithbw; awesome brother and good to put a pic to the name. So what do you call that rolling style? LOL!
What an opportunity my friend; glad you had the experience!

Good eye, puskarich! Anyone have this issue?

Cool pic, Billy! Nice to see ya'.

What a great time Billy! As my 13 year old daughter would say...Kewl!!

Some people would be happy with an indian statue or some really neat humidor, but not Billy...Nooooooooo, that's not good enough for him. He has to have a Cuban master roller. Show-off!

Say did I ever tell you guys about the time Fidel Castro gave me a shave and a haircut? Carmen Miranda was mixing up a fresh batch of Cuba Libre's and this Fuente kid was rolling his own, and then this Hemmingway guy asks me to start telling him my life story, well I'm a modest man, so I start recalling some bullfights I went to......................

DMV,

You are absolutely Crazy - I love it! I too have a story of this magnitude to share but not yet... 🙂

Some of it is still be written!

Regards,

Ah, you know I'm just giving you the "business"!

Every time I read one of your stories or hear of one of your trades I get visuals of the stores you're in. Then this daydream takes over, and I become Gomez Aadams(fellow BOTL & future Halloween costume theme)and my eyes are bugging out and I'm wringing my hands as I'm strolling through the German humidors....I just hope I don't run across a French label.....

Nice job Billy,did you buy the My Life Magazin to,it tells you how to live healthier and better LOL! Amen BOTL

Great story and great pic! Thanks for sharing Billy.

Are you two related?

Way cool Billy! Glad to finally see your mug.

Take care.

All that I can say is Yes! More! Faster!!!!

Marla

M - You got it...The Only One that Picked up on it! I told you DMV that I had even better stories to share with everyone...

It makes me look "Fat"!
