If I remember correctly, my dear Liberal friend (ha, ha), you hit me with a bottle of premium whiskey, and I was just paying you back. Really, really good to see you, Frank. I hope I'm able to stick around for a while.

My name is Rick and I look forward to getting to know you, and maybe even learning a thing or two once things settle down here from the great software debacle of 2017

Hey Rick. Nice to meet you. Hope things are well with you and yours.

As I side note, some of my best wins where after I was banned. Here's just a little taste. Several Perdomo sampler lots consisting of 1 Champagne, 1 Grand Cru, 1 Habano CT, 1 Lot 23 Nat, and a $35 Bugatti dual torch lighter, for $5.01 ea. So, did I pay $1 a piece for the cigars, and $1.01 for the lighters, or was it $5.01 for the lighters, and the cigars where free, lol?

As far as teaching you a thing or two, well it takes work, following all the auctions, searching for undervalued lots, watching for specials on the different cigar boards out there, finding discount codes, taking advantage of Groupon and Ebate, and tons and tons of pure luck. Sadly, for the past several months, the insane deals I rely on, have pretty much dried up.

Hate to be the barer of bad news, but the op is not Dan. I spoke to him this morning and he said he was definitely not on Cbid. I place my bet this imposter is Lancaster.

Mike, have you been into the Bourbon again? Who is Dan, and will I see you at John's spring hurf?

Oh, and just to prove I am, who I am, you handed me an unbanded L'Atelier last year, and I was giving out MF 1922 Torps, and Dan Carlos #3s.
