I came home from work for lunch yesterday (6/8) and found sitting on my front porch a package from MACS.

I knew it was going to be something great coming from MACS ... but I had no idea HOW great it was going to be until I opened it.

With great anticipation and trembling hands ... I proceeded to slice the tape and pry open the box. Once inside I was left stunned and speechless ... and truly humbled by this gents gracious generosity and giving heart.

What I found inside was a full box of 'Vegas Robaina Unicos' with the box code USE Jun 08. I'm not that big into Cuban cigars (or should I say knowledgeable) ... ONLY because I don't have that much experience with them. But one thing I 'DO' know ... is that Vegas Robaina has always been one of my all time favorites (whenever I had them) ... and the Unicos (torperdo) is my favorite vitola. I had to smoke one right then and there ... to get that raw and ‘Cuban-ist’ sensation going ... before I went back to work.

NO ONE has ever gifted me with a box of Cuban cigars ... EVER !!! MACS certainly knows his Cuban cigars ... and in my limited experience ... this has to be one of the finest brands I have had the pleasure of smoking from Cuba. He hit the nail on the head with this one for my taste profile.

And ... I think he has successfully turned me into a 'convert'. I am now embarking on a journey to the 'wild side'. If all Cubans are as good as these ... I have been depriving myself of one of life's true pleasures.

I can't thank you enough ...

MACS ... you certainly outdid yourself this time ... and you successfully brought me to my knees. There are very few (you know who you are) that can truthfully say that they knocked Slimboli's '****** in the dirt'. You have joined the ranks ...

One FINE cigar and one unselfish act of generosity my friend ...

... I STILL can't believe my eyes (or my taste buds).

Way over the top ... and a true 'class act'.

rjcardema ... there have been a few others who have had the nerve to take me down hard. Those that have know who they are ... but pablo and DED immediately come to mind.

MACS just entered the 'Hall of Fame' with this one.

the first rule of a MACS hit is DON'T TALK ABOUT THE HIT!

the second rule of a MACS hit is DON'T TALK ABOUT THE HIT!

LMAO (those rules are not nearly as important as the "Lose my addy" rule!!!)

Sent MACS an email telling him I was going to post. He didn't object in his reply ... so I did.

Even if he did object ... I probably would have posted it anyway ... LOL !!!

Especially when it's THIS good ... he deserves some recognition of his good deeds !!!

The last time I was at MACS house, he showed me the damage you did to him, so I don't feel too bad for you, Slim 🙂

And those Unicos are damn good. A whole box?!?! You fuggers are out of control.
