If you've been on these boards for any length of time, you KNOW how I feel about the Miami 8&11's.
A few weeks ago, I get a PM from CROS telling me his local had a FULL BOX on the shelf the last time he was in, and would I be interested ? He said he wasn't sure how many would be left by the time he got back, but to let him know.
I told him to I would be interested in any and all. His reply was, "I hope you're serious about that, because I already picked up the entire box. I didn't want to chance them being sold before I heard back from you."
I couldn't believe it. He and I had not had any contact on the boards before this and he goes and, before getting an affirmative answer from me, lays out a TON of $$$ from his own pocket, just because he doesn't want me to miss out on this opportunity.
I was absolutely floored that he would do something like that for me, but as I've said in the past, many, many times . . . This place NEVER fails to amaze me !
"Not a problem, brother", I told him. " Just send me your addy so I can get a check in the mail to you.
I sent him the $$$, along with a meager Padilla sampler as a Thank You.
Well, today, the 8&11's showed up. But did he send JUST the box ? Nooooooooooo !
Along with the 20 8&11's, there was a fiver.

Talk about "over the top"

CROS, my brother, YOU are one outstanding BOTL, and I cannot thank you enough for this.
(Although, I WILL try !) 🤨

Looks like they have some age(plume) on them. Very nice

I would agree, CROS is top class! Well done
This is consistent with BOTL here, iv had the same generosity from many others!

Ahhhhh hello new friend with the full box of Miamis.

Not to jack your thread but I must say CROS is a great guy. I sent him a couple baitfish and I get

4 anejo multiple sizes
2 opus x (multiple sizes)
1 king b
1 fuente 76th. This is awesome. I didn't even know what it was until I read up today
Plus a few other Fuentes that are all GREAT smokes
