As Al Capone once said "Team".
I want to be part of this team count me in.

As I said in the 1st thread, I will be there. Maybe it will be snowing outside my house.But not rain snow sleet or hail will keep me from this.

2 hrs until an Ashton VSG Belicoso #1 Natural

Guys and Gals,

Owing to a family gathering that will start shortly after herf time, my attendance will be a bit late. However, I plan to sit out late tonight with a nice smoke after family time and will "join" you later in the festivities.

By the bye, merry Christmas and happy holidays to all.

I'm here,I'm Smoking!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Here's to the whole group of you, present or not ... dinner's done, dishes are taken care of and I've got an ISOM burning ... better than any Yule log, I must say

Mrs. Magnafide(Patty) Wishes all of you Merry Christmas

tell her Merry Christmas from Steve and MrsS in the East Bay to you guys as well ...

Steve,Is this the JR ISOM or a real one? X

Here I is.Got side tracked for a few minutes but just pulled out an SLR A thats been in the dry box for about three days at 65.Oh Man this is going to be good.

X ... Not a JR knockoff ... but given all the fake ISOMs, who knows how genuine it is ... hello to you too, Jim ... Merry Christmas to you guys

Well, just got back in from the herf. It was a good time sitting there thinking about the past year. About the people I have meet on the board. Jamming to christmas music complaints of Danny, Thanks. Snowing outside, should have snow on christmas this year. I wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a safe one.

thanks, Ropeman ... same to you ... what part of the country do you live in?

I'm smokin inside but it is pretty damn chilly here in So Cal outside=54 degrees/still T shirt weather for this transplanted S Dakota Boy though...LOL

Just an FYI...F5 = refresh screen...

It might be that cold here too, JJ ... we're in for a few days of rain, so the cloud cover is holding the temps up a bit ... otherwise, it'd probably be into high 40s by now ... I know it drove me inside too ...

Well, the ISOM is nubbed, my policeman son has gone to work, the others have gone home ... there are some advantages to having your kids reach adult age and move out on their own .. I'm going to pay some attention to MrsS now ... with any luck, she'll pay some attention back ... y'all have a merry one ... g'nite

Well, here I am on my third Christmas Eve in a row working the mid shift. Bah Humbug.

Hey Guys! I went out with my wife to deliver some gifts. My wife & I have taken gift packages to the local homeless shelter.
We give them Sweatshirts, jackets, pants, socks, and some personal hygiene items. Every year its a little different. Depends on what we can get donated from friends. My wife gift wraps all the stuff so they can open them up and be surprised! Man, this year it was special, brought a tear to my eyes. We brought enough for 25 guys. It was enough for everyone there.
You would have to see the look on these guys faces when they get Christmas gifts from strangers. They gave my wife & I a big applause. It was pretty cool. Its our 5th year doing this. It really makes Christmas Special.
Just wanted to share a Christmas Moment with you guys!

PS: Now to another Smoke!

I just got home from a sit and talk about work Christmas party. I think it would only have been more fun if somebody ran a sharp stick in my eye. I am about to light ans AF 8-5-8 I have a couple left from a few boxes I bought two years ago and have been letting these sleep.

Hey all! Got done with my smoke about 45 mins ago. I started a little late due to catching up with a good friend. But anyway, sitting outside on our deck in the snow (on it's way to 1-2 feet) smoking my Fuente natural 8-5-8, I realized how much I love this hobby/addiction/etc. Even though it is 30 degrees, wet from snow and whatever else, the cigar was still wonderful! You all have a wonderful Christmas and pull out the good smokes tomorrow! My pick is a Partagas 150 "AA". HSA!
