this is a brother and a half! he was trying to get rid of some well-aged smokes a month ago that were outside his flavor profile now. he said first come, first serve. i won!
first mailing attempt failed--my fault...second failed--i blame the post office...third landed on CHRISTMAS DAY!
let me say this out loud--every time it came back to him, instead of just giving up, he ADDED MORE STICKS! the 10 became 25 well-aged smokes...like the advent calendar i received today...now, i can eat 25 pieces of chocolate right now, but 25 gars would kill me.
Monte, RyJ, CAO, AVO, LVH, but i gotta say there are a couple that JUMPED at me...that trilogy corojo triangle looks fun and challenging. and that cuban parejo is FAT!!!
i cannot thank you enough, my friend...and i will never be able to repay your patience, let alone your cigars. you are a class act! Merry Christmas to you, my brother!
