Guess what I got today? I freakin' huge box of smokes!!! LOL...Rob....screw you , I'm keeping em all! Muwhahahahahaha

Sorry....I'm ok now. First to all who participated, from what I see upon initial inspection, you all have been very generous to Rob and I. Thank you very much. This is an impressive collection of smokes. I will unpack it all and get a picture of it tonight! With luck (and lots of it) I'll have a box to ship to you tomorrow Rob!! If not.....I suppose I should hang on to it till Monday....but we will see.

Again, this looks great and thank you to all of you who played, you were the hero's for sure!!

Dave

Wow, that took forever to move across state lines. Guess having it by xmas is out of the question. Oh well.

Thanks to all that participated!

Yeah I would just be a little hesitant to throw it out there with the other 300 million packages extra being thrown at the post office right now. Just seems it's a safe and secure thing to let em sit tight and then mail it Monday. Ha...you in reality will probably get them sooner that way! Hahaha.

Dave

Rob....I took a few that I wanted from the box, and will put the rest together for ya! You will be pleased I think. I posted a picture tonight, though it probably won't be there until morning.

Have a good Christmas....don't get too excited....next week brings great joy!

Dave

Hmmmmm, Dave is able to talk about the box after he opened it??? Did nothing explode in your face when you opened it? LOL!!!

Yes Keith...this morning I was going to post again and say......when I opened the box, there...right on top was a bag of great smokes....with a note "Dave97402 KABOOOM!!!" LOL....thank you....and you live to regret that!!

Dave

At first I was affraid Tim difused the bomb deployed for your @ss, heheheeee. I thought what a better way to get you, LOL. When you least expect it, WAM!!! I hope I got you with your guard down, heheheeee!

Happy Holidays!!!

Yeah you did Keith! LOL....when I opened it and say that note....I knew I'd been had!! Thanks again

Dave

Also Keith and Thurson....thanks for packing the pass back up properly. There were a few more cigars with some damage on them, that ya probably missed on first inspection....unfortunately the PSD4 too a hit! Smokable I think, but a shame! Otherwise everything look good, we got lucky! LOL But your repack job was awesome and appreciated!

Dave

Dave, glad the box finally arrived. I was getting a little worried and thought I was somehow being punished for not putting back that Rocky Patel for you. Instead, I took it on a little trip across the pond and my son-in-law will thank you tomorrow when I spring it on him after dinner.

Reporting from France this is Pepe Le Pew, AKA thurson

I thought you were playing overseas. I didn't have that much to drink at your house Pepe Le Pew!
Hope your trip is a fun one and we want pictures of you smokin at/on the Iffle Tower!

Happy Holidays to you and Carol!

BTW Pepe Le Pew, why are you playing on the internet when you should be sightseeing France???

I have noticed that the USPS site right now, has priority listed as "3 day service" I assume and wonder, that this is only for the holidays?

Dave

Keith, my plan was to have Carol take a pic of me smoking a gar with the Eiffel Tower in the background but it was so friggin cold here I couldn't even get a match to light. So far I've only smoked one gar inside a Brasserrie the evening we arrived. We were only in Paris for one day then took the train to Tours. My daughter and her family live about 15 miles outside of town. Pictures to follow in the next few days.

Pepe

Rob....there are a few cigars headed your way today!!

Thanks for hosting, orgainizing and making this pass run smoothly!! It was fun and everyone did awesome! For mostly newbies, you all did a great job!

Dave

This thing should have landed by now.....hello?

Haven't heard from Rob lately......you ok? LOL That big ole box of cigars hurt you?

Dave

Just tracked it and it has been delivered! Whew....my job here is done......carry on

Dave

The box is fine, as am I. It was delivered, but I was at our remote location. I had to come pick it up a day later. Good thing I have keys to the office.

Dave only took like 6 sticks, leaving me with a huge pile of tabacco heaven. I'm kind of bumbed that I didn't have it in time for some humi rest before New Years, but I was able to dip into it last night 😉

The camera still had 11 exposures on it. Seems most of you opted out of the contest. She's busy burning those images right now so she can get it developed. I'll post the winner of the contest when complete.

Thank you all for participating!

i guess i can say it now . . . mustache? that's just mean, man, it's mean. i'm 31 years old, and i still can't grow a mustache. i had to give the boys some gatorade in hopes they'd get a gatorade-induced stripe on their upper lips. it probably won't turnout too well, but that's what the pic was meant to be.

you just wait. when i finally hit puberty, i'll have the biggest, scariest handlebar mustache you've ever seen. then i can offer my wife a ride on the handlebars, and i won't mean the bike! ; )

LMAO. It was the wife's random noun. What can I say. here lofty, this website may inspire you. And I swear this is not a joke site!
