he put me in a coffin...well, 3 to be exact.

so, he sends me an email he knows i am interested in the RP 2005 limited edition A smokes. so, he emails me...he wants to send me some to JAPAN...and asks how to go about doing it.

i thank him, and ask him to wrap them and maybe label them for easter.

HE DID EXACTLY THAT! now, he must be married, because the wrapping job was so beautiful! she must have hooked him up...anyway, i open the box and there are 2 packages. i open the bigger one. 3 coffins...EDGE, Sungrown, and Vintage 1990...i am sooo happy...this is what he said he would send...then, i curiously look at the other box, which made a noise, as i walked it over here...i open it...and just like the customs form says "easter candies"...well, not necessarily easter. Hilliards milk chocolate cashew patties.

this gandolf goes all out every time at the plate. i mean, these are not peanut chocolates...they are CASHEWS! the wife will be happy...if i leave her any...

thanks, brother. you are a gifter!

Enjoy 'em Burge, those RPs are mighty tasty.

And the chocolates are made by one of the finest confectioners in New England. Just a little taste of the States......

If you ever get out to Vegas, there is a candy company called "Ethel M". Old man Marrs started the place after he retired. Their Chocolate Stribboned Pecan Brittle is legendary. Careful it is addicting, wife calls it the 'crack cocaine' of candy.

gandolf--YOU ARE KILLING ME! that is exactly what i just agreed to not 30 minutes ago...some clown has some good sticks and his daughter is fond of green tea kit kat. well, who knows...later this week, we could ALL be hearing about the cigars that went out!

LOL! i am laughing, and only 2 of us get the joke!

Yet ANOTHER great hit from the Great one.

Hey Burgess, try living in the same state as him and meet for a friendly mini Herf. He's like a bad wart. He will not leave well enough alone. I've tried to bomb, I've tried to gift... But he keeps dropping $hit on me. He keeps coming back hard and heavy. He's kicked me in the nads so hard and so often I cannot even count.

Since poking him doesn't work, I'm trying the other extreme: the Rope-a-Dope stragedy. Cover and turtle. Hopefully he'll tire out and then on the later rounds we can close in.

But Damn, I'm close to going down. CUT ME MICK!

Candy for cigars, good idea! I'm heading to Vegas in May. Anybody need a Ethel M's fix? Also, In case anyone is interested, bordering on bazaar, I have CA wines and new designer silk italian ties.
