So I advertised earlier for some trade bait with what I thought were really nice smokes...

Well CBid spoke and all I heard was the sound of crickets. 🤨

Maybe it is because you guys still consider me a noob...

Or maybe nobody liked what I was offered... 🤔

Well long story short, I get some REALLY weird requests for turtle food from Busa (off meds)

😕

And finally Martymoose says send em to the troops!

To the troops? 😲

Well I have sent plenty of cigars to my brothers in uniform but little did I know there was a freakin program! This is SOOOOO cool.

😁

So I pack everything up with a mystery cigar and a nice little note. All I really wanted was to hear the stories from the guys that smoke the cigars.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Moose decides he needs to send me something. Well here I am thinking it’s for the troops maybe a small token of appreciation you know like a cigar? Maybe a five pack?

Ha!

This royal prick sent me ALMOST as many cigars as I sent out! Maybe you can’t smoke in the great white north so I’ll happily take your sticks until the ground thaws out… you know in April.

So a picture included to array the Tobacco Splendor seen today…



Arganese Churchill Maduro - Saw they had good reviews. Never tried one. Need some time for this.
Rocky Patel Sun Grown Torpedo - Had a SG but not the torp (my favorite size!)
Padilla Limitado 2006 (Obsidian) - Don't be afraid of the dark! This will need some deep aging...
CAO Maduro Torpedo - three, count em three, torps in a row! A good early morning cigar. Me likey.
Oliva Serie G Toro - I've had a few and they are a nice change of pace.
A Torano signed by some dude (Torano Signature Toro) - New to me...
Graycliff 1666 (PGX?) - Never had a GC. Should be interesting...
CI Anniversary Epicure - Never had one of these either.
MOW Ruination Toro - I have had some weird regular MOW but not the Ruin yet...
CI Legends Yellow (Pepin) - Got a sampler of these a while back liked this one.
La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte Robusto - Another one I have not tried.
Cabaiguan Coronas Extra - A newer line by Tatuaje I've not had...
Padron (is that a Lonsdale?) Maduro - Mmmmmmm I love Padrons....
Tatuaje Havana VI Hermsos - I enjoy these in the Gorditos quite a bit. This is a new size to try.
Tatuaje Series P Robusto (?) - Mixed filler? Really? This maybe the cigar to start the weekend...
EO 601 Green Habano Oscuro Robusto - Had one of these a few months ago & pleasantly surprised.
Por Larranaga Cuban Grade Corona - YEARS since I had one. Sounds like a great morning mild smoke!
La Riqueza #5 (?) x3 - Another smoke by Tatuaje. Had a #2 just last week and enjoyed it very much.

Hmmm..... a nice selection. Well now I have your address...

Time to go THINK about smoking the Series P and ponder how best to respond... 😎

Holy chit he did hand you your Azzzz, well kudos to both of you and as always it's great when the troops are beneficiaries of the Madness here.......

Well done Marty!!!! BTW, your Avitar is a scream!!!!! gotta love nature, you'd think the lack of warmth thing would kinda give it away though............

Glad they made it to you safely. Thanks again for sending yours to OpFTH, enjoy!

they look like very nice sticks. you might be surprised with the flavor of that LHC oscuro fuerte.

Nice Por Larry in there!

That be a collector's item now.

=d>

That one looks tasty!!!
