Chief posted in miscellaenous yesterday about having had a great day, a day that just got better and better.

It started with e-mailsfrom CBid advising Chief that 3 cheapskate bids he'd posted were victorious. Ever the miser, this thrilled Chief's heart.

Yet, it got better, still.

Not only did Chief get Alligator teeth from Tiger Rose, but also a package from TJ2001Cobra.

Opening the package revealed a beautifully crafted box that had originally contained some vast quantity of Cuban Partagas cigars--something Chief has not seen before and initially, Chief thought TJ had sent an entire box of gaddam Cuban Partagas.

Thankfully--and I mean this--the box (a treasure in itself) contained a different sort of treasure, a superb variety of cigars.

Don Lino 'Africa'

Drew Estate 'La Vieja Habana' never tried one

Perdomo Cabinet (pant, pant)

Partagas 1845

RP 'Fusion' green lable

ITC 'Split decision'

Por Larranga beautifully packaged...unfamilar...

AND

A Partagas D no.4 (Havana)

A Montecristo belicoso (?) (havana)

Chief is a little speechless right now--TJ could have sent the empty Partagas box alone and I would have been flattered at his thoughtfulness and grateful. But, no.

TJ sent not just the box, and not just some great cigars, but also the Monte and the Partagas which is just so over the top that I am humbled and at a loss for what to say other than 'thank you' from the bottom of my heart for your generousity.

This forum, and the people who post here are really something.

Well said Chief. LMOA Alligator teeth?

I am just hoping this guy is running out of cigars. hehe

WTG TJ. TJ is a heavy hitter and does not play around I am seeing.

Also if you are speechless Chief, try using the alligator teeth to talk. LOL

Sweet hit!

Would really loveto get my hands on a nice piece of driftwood like that for my garden

Chief,

So glad you got the package. I initially saw that delivery was attempted and denied. I was worried it would be sent back.

I'm not quite up to sending out boxes of Cubans in my bombs, but may get there some day. Right now, I try to send some good smokes along with a couple of REALLY fun ones like an Opus, Padron 1926, or some Cubans. You seemed interested in the Cubans so I sent you some.

The Partagas is a Serie D #4. The Montecristo is a #2 (my personal favorite).

Enjoy them! Looks like you have a great place to smoke them!!!

TJ

TJ, Yes delivery was successful...

And yes, I have a great place to smoke the cigars.

dissolute retired person that I am, I smoke too many cigars during the month/week/day.

I've only smoked one Cuban (H.Upmann) that I am convinced was 'real', but being a big fan of the Dominican 'Montecristo', I have been anxious to try the 'original' of that brand, too. You are allowing me his opportunity and I am most grateful--and for the others as well.

This really is over the top generousity.

engletl, small pieces can ship o.k. but I don't know about the bigger ones. The one in the pic is probably 500lbs...

Nice hit there TJ.
