Okay so SD72s package scared the crap out of me on several levels. First it came in a 9"x9"x9" box. Then when I opened it up the first thing I behold is a minty fresh FIGHTING C O C K box! Finally, I open it up and the surprise I wasn't expecting shows...here's the damage:

AF Short Story Maduro - Great Smoke
Padron (Looks like a 3000?) - Good Smoke
Tat Fausto Estelli - Good Smoke
Tat (Special Edition for Tobacconist Association of America, LTD.) - NH and rare I assume
Viaje White Label - Only had one but liked it very much!
Tat Veracru #9 - Very Nice Smoke, one of my favorite Tats

A VERY NICE & ENTERTAINING HIT SD72!!!

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Enjoy bobby. Thought you'd like the box.

Where did you get that box from?

You. And don't ever send me another one. I'm a snob.

Not even if there are some TAA 2011s in it?

Well, ok.

TimFusco apparently likes playing with Hornets Nests! My doorbell doesn't get rang very often by the mailman because I have a large industrial strength, bullet proof, and generally well armored mailbox...this package was different. Bigger than an MFR (that alone gave me pause), the box was riddle with swag, my second box of the day (and forever BTW), and a ton of cigars. Here is the damage:

SWAG:

NASCAR FUEL High Performance Butane (x2) The cool factor on that is just off the charts!
Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey - Honestly part of me can't wait to try it and part of me is a little scared from the label pic
Burnetts (Vodka) Cinnamon Candy (x2)
Key Ring Cigar Punch
Black Ops Cutter
Ronson JetLite Lighter
CI Matches (x8)

CIGARS:

Okay, so apparently this was prompted by my request to "try" some Gurkhas...beware what you ask for...

Gurkha Black Ops
Gurkha Legends Double Maduro
Gurkha Blue Steel (x3)
Gurkha Widow Maker
Gurkha Ancient Warrior -

The box was a Man-o-War sampler with 4 actual Man-o-War Cigars in it

MOW Virtue
MOW (x2)
MOW Red Band??

Finally, the last package was familiar territory...LOL!!!

Fighting C O C K - Great for Baseball & Football Season!!! Go GameCocks!!!
Undercrown Corona Doble - Nice Smoke
Undercrown Gran Toro
La Gloria Cubana Robusto
Obsidian Robusto

Clearly Tim has a deathwish...NICE HIT! Watch your backside, it is going to need some reinforcement!

Love some fireballs with my shine.

Dude, that is an elitist hit! And yes, the box was a nice touch! I'm sure I will be returning the favor soon...SHESH!

I never made the connection between TAA and what it stood for until your post SD72...Thanks!

Limited Edition Maduro...pretty good stick.

I included the box because many people like unique or interesting cigar boxes...I know I do. I had a couple of those, so I thought you might like it...at the very least it protected the sticks enclosed, right?

Like I said, I may not bomb as often as some of these noobs, but when I do, I don't mess around. What is it you say Ben?

They held up pretty well...the cello on the other hand....eh?

[sarcasm]

The cello? Was there a problem?

Nah, just busting your chops...thought it was funny to see a sampler box with cello covered cigars in it...never seen that before! It is all good!

8-[

Actually, the sticks in those MoW samplers came in cello....

Interesting...

The SE FIgurado box of 10 and the L.E. Super Perfecto Sampler came in cello. Why interesting?

I've just never seen it that way or never noticed it...that's all.

I was looking at the Anthology sampler...all in cello.

Box arrived today from The Bastid Blake (that's what I'm referring to him from now on)...haven't even had a chance to open the box yet. Will post the contents tomorrow...
