Received a surprise going-away smacking from a great FOG.. Rasta.

John is going to hang his smoking shoes up, please join me in wishing him the best.

A fellow collector/smoker of fine smokes, and the man who stumbled on the 858 Rosados and started a frenzy around these parts.

Hail,

and good luck bro!

What??? Rasta's giving up smoking??? Man, I hope it was because he decided to move along, not because of health issues!

Rasta best of luck to you! Drop by and post once in a while, even if you don't smoke, just to let us know how you're doing!

aloha, rasta...

what's up wit dat!!!

Good luck to you Rasta. I'm sorry I haven't been around long enough to get to know you. But from what I've read you're a true BOTL.

Anymore info on why he's giving up cigars ... or is it too personal for me to ask?

People are going to make a lot of assumptions here, many which could be way off base ...

Best of luck with your decision. Hope all is well.

PS... If you need to get rid of your sticks... ;o)

I also received a good bye to smoking package to Rasta. Rasta is in good health. Someone close to him experienced some issues and he decided ti give it up.

Rasta is da man.

My best to you and yours John.

Best A Luck with you and yours Rasta...

I also got a package from John with a letter about why he is quiting. I stand behind him and his decision!

Stay well brother 🙂

Only the best Rasta!

Good luck to you brother!

Thank you all very much for the good wishes. I was never a prolific poster but certainly enjoyed lurking around with an occasional trade here and there. Lowman...I don't think we ever had the good fortune of doing a trade (at least that I recall, unless there was an 858 Rosada a while back) but I would love to fire a small package your way once I get back to clearing out the humidors. Shoot me an email with your addy to [email protected].

best wishes, Rasta ... take care of yourself and drop by from time to time to let us know how you're doing.

Good luck and best wishes. X

Best wishes in all that you do rasta. Unfortunately I only started trading and wished I would've started sooner so that I could've gotten to know such a respected and fine BOTL. If you ever decide to have one for old times sake...I'll always have one with your name on it.

John
