Now, now ... Sonny ...

... you don't have to disparage someone for voicing their opinion. It takes all kinds people to make up this world, and I'm sure that the Minister, in his line of work, knows that all too well ...

....D*MN LAB got to my keyboard again!!!! I'll keep him away, Slim.

... hehehe!

I would like to post my sincere apology to Mike Gardner

for my comments. They were VERY inappropriate and heartless. All I can say is I let "my emotions" fly off the keyboard without really thinking- which is so easy to do with the internet today. I lived with many guys in College that were "better off" than me and I guess I have a personal issue.. (be it jealousy or what ever) I worked my butt of since I was 16 and struggled to pay for college. My comments were "tunnel visioned" to the cigar collection. At the time it seemed that a college student with that collection could afford to replace it.

Anyways- I have been a participant in this forum for several years and if people notice I rarely ever post to non-cigar related issues.. I stay away from personal issues, conflicts etc.

I plain and simply over reacted and I appologize.

What else can I say..

I think a holiday spirited bombing is in order for your son. Nothing will make the loss go away but at least he will know there sre others out there who feel for his loss. As someone who has been in his shoes nothing is the same after you get ripped off like this. happy herfin holidays to you and your son and best wishes for the New Year.

Listen to trent lott up there.....lol

Make sure that those damn pigs (oops..did I say that? ;)) I mean the PO-lice put the serial numbers, make and model names, etc into LEADS as stolen..This way if they're run anywhere in the US, the item(s) will come up on the computer as stolen

Apology accepted. Takes a big man to do that, and it never is easy. Appreciate your posting it here.

To ropeman and smithbw -- and other who have sent or are sending smokes and ropeman for the special package you sent -- words fail me -- your kindness to my son is overwhelming!

Thanks for restoring his belief in humanity and reminding me of mine!
