So this past Sat. I went over to Illinois to deliver a floorstand ashtray Roland wanted made. And I decided to not leave it to USPS to loose / break or otherwise

harm it. So I hand delivered it. Well needless to say I brought my travel humi with several good smokes planning on treating us to at least one cigar.

Well apparently Roland has a house rule, when you visit him you smoke his cigars. Now believe me when I tell you this is "NOT" a bad thing!! We started our visit off with a Boli GM, and then he treated me to an OB ET lanc. We paired these with a couple Ying-Lings..........It was a very enjoyable time!!!!!!!!!

Our little deal involved cash and a fiver of Pepin 32's or therebouts, well he hits me with an unbelievable selection of smokes to incl. ET lanc. x3, Opus Pwr.Rgr.x2, Opus F.Fuente x2, 1ea. Pad32 osc.Pepins Rob. torp. churchill, 2 aged Punch PC islanders, a Boli GM and a Graycliff Vint.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just when you thought I was done, he also fixed me up with a couple oust fans and some kitty litter and gel crystals.

The moral of this story............................Don't go to Rolands house he'll hurt you then send you home wimpering. 😁

Thanks a bunch Roland, I really enjoyed our little visit, and not because you kicked my ass. You are a class act all the way and very enjoyable to hang out with!!

Nice.

The great PC strikes again. Well played both of you!

This Pool-Que Dawgg is one dangerous ELITIST character. wait til tomorrow and see what damage he did to me neighborhood.

Well done the Roland.

BTW, when I visit, I am taking the whole walk-in. 🖐

He is my favorite PC LOL

^^^^ If you ever have the opportunity to meet him TJ, he'll definitely become your fav. PC lol What a terrific guy.....................

I had met him once before @ the Moose herf, but didn't have much of an opportunity to really chat much, he's a pleasure to hang with. As I'm sure most BOTL/SOTL's are!!!!!!

I learned while visiting that he's got a bunch of diseased conifers on his lot that need dropped, I told him to let me know when he's ready. I'll bring my saw and we'll make a weekend out of it..............I'm looking forward to it

🇨🇮

Did you get to see any of the other Illinois brothers, or was this impromptu Paul? Did you take a pic of the ashtray?

Two good dudes I have enjoyed herfing with myself. I hope Rolland didn't break out any of the double happiness; that is his and my "special smokes". 🖐

You know Lou, he told me I could have whatever I wanted. I reached for one of those initially and he said they were off limits for the very same reason 🤫

It was kind of last minute so no it was just the two of us................and no I forgot to get a pic of us or the tray 😣

Lookin forward to herfin with you again soon!!

Paul, it was a wonderful time to sit and chat with you as well. After you left, that's when I realized we didn't get any pictures of us. Oh well, there is always next time. As for the ashtray, that thing is amazing and it's huge, I bet I could smake 50 cigars without having to empty it, I will post a pic when I get a little more time on my hands.

Lou, you know I would never let them double happiness go, LOL. Like you said, it's our special smokes, LOL.

Anyway, I had a few ides for Paul for his next project, a Humidor/Ashtray. Let's hope Paul can pull this out off. If so, I want the first one.

And I don't have special smokes with just anybody. I have standards you know.
