just wanted to take a moment to say a mighty big THANK YOU to beta362. this BOTL contacted me out of the blue to welcome me here to cbid and then begifted me with a FINE assortment of top-notch cigars -- we're talking gooooooooood stuff! there's not one of these that i've tried yet (way out of my price range!), so i look forward to trying them out and savoring each one in its own time.

thank you very much, allen. you're a true BOTL and a certified mensch!

Excellent thing to do Beta 🙂

Better clear some space in your humi Tony, cause there are more in the mail comin your way. Kaboom.

antonio

Cavallo, anytime man. i'm glad you like them! i'll email you back soon...i've been so busy!

Hey Cavallo,
Tony you are a good trader as well. Got your end this morning. Sicks in perfect condition, and the Bonus CDs Rocked, Pun intended. Some of my favorite classic rock tunes, some great country music, and some of my favorite older stuff, from Louie Jordan, the andrews sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, and of course Frankie. Great first trade with you sir, hope you enjoy the selection I sent, as much as I enjoy this.
Guys, ya'll can't go wrong, In a trade with Cavallo.
Later
Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)

I second what Cavallo said! I just had a bomb land on my doorstep that like to have blown the hinges off my humi! Allen, I'll trade with you ANYTIME!

thanks Clive! i'm very glad you like 'em!

I almost forgot to mention...Clive, you didn't do too bad for yourself...all those ISOM's! It felt like the Cold War began again and the ISOM struck first!

All I can say is I gotta fire up one of 'dem' OPUSX's after dinner! I had one that I was saving for a special occaision, but hadn't ever tried one before, so now I can tell if I want to save 'em or not! LOL

homebrew: glad that all arrived safely and that you're digging the tune-age. 🙂 hope you enjoy those high octanes, too, and i'd be honored to trade wit'cha anytime, sir!

beta, i know you're busy but shoot me an email when you get a chance? i think i lost your email address. also, just know that there will be payback on this -- oh yes there will be payback! just gotta chill for a bit and get some health issues on the rebound (and get my "allowance" from the best wife in the world so i'll have postage $ -- should be feb 1).

i know when i ramble i reeeeeeally ramble, guys, but alas the health stuff's kicking my butt, so i may be a little more scarce and/or quiet for a bit. no worries -- not taking the loot and running; i just have to do some serious recooping.

you're all great, brothers!
antonio

Cav...sorry man, i get really bad about communication when school starts up! i promise i'll shoot you that email

hey, beta! how's the semester going so far?

shoot me a mail when you get a chance, but no hurries and no worries. 🙂 i'm sloooooooooow going over on this end as well.

thanks again for that bombing run!! i'm still picking up the pieces. 😃

antonio

Cav, i sent the email around 7:00 Central, let me know if you didn't get it

thanks! got it, and i hope to reply to it tonight or tomorrow -- having some pain issues, so gotta be AFK more. (hanging in there tho!)
