Nice hit. I don't even remember wtf might have precipitated this. Can't find any PM's. Anyway, thanks for the bomb:
Guillermo Leon toro - haven't tried - sounds like a good one - probably too complex for my simple palate, tho
MB3 - always solid
EPC - Elencos, maybe? Nice!
Torano Vault - First. Looking forward to this
90 Miles - Don't recall having heard of this one - reviews look positive
UC toro - Sweet!!!
and... Diablo (church?) - finished my last Diablo about three years ago and recall them fondly - going to enjoy this one

Thank you very much, Dave. Big hit. Love trying new cigars and a few there I already enjoy. =d>

You have Diablos ?
Wanna trade them for some Mederos ? 🤦

Dave,
You smacked me a few months back, but the return address was smeared, and no one had your new addy at the time.

The EPC is a Elenco Don Rubino. Check the draw before lighting, as the last two I had where tighter then a wood dowel.

The Diablo is the Pimiento (6.5" x 45 grand corona).

The 90 Miles is a solid everyday smoke from Flor de Gonzalas with an Ecuadoran wrapper.

Enjoy, as I enjoyed the smokes you had sent me.

Got a measly dozen left. Back when I was a stupid noob, some other place had 25 boxes up on a Dutch Auction. Knew nothing about them, but they looked good, so I grabbed one at $33. If I had known what I was getting, I would have grabbed a half dozen boxes. I kind of remember picking up a 2nd box before they where gone for good. Don't know where they all went. Must be those freak'n cigar elves.

What would it take to talk you outta, say like, 2 or 3 of them ? 🤔

CC's ?
Opus X ?
Anejo ?
( I was just kidding about the Mederos. )

Take a look at the list from pool-cue's smackdown.
Anything there that might interest you ?

No pressure here, David . . . Just a shameless request from one kind, generous, outstanding, handsome BOTl and fellow SJHC member to another. :-"

So I guess I AM David's friend after all !
Today, I found a box waiting for me at my front door.
My wife picked it up and said . . . "Oooooooh, Johnny got bombed."
I knew I was expecting a box, but delivery isn't until NEXT week, so i asked her who it was from. She said, "Dave Newell."
Inside the box were the three Diablos that I so shamelessly asked for, plus a PAM64, an MB3, and a Torano VAULT.

David, YOU are a piece of work, my "friend".
I'm not even gonna ask you what you want in return, because I KNOW you won't give me an answer other than,
"No return fire needed."
Well, we BOTH know THAT ain't an option. You WILL be repaid,
Soooooooo, unless you give me some suggestions from the "pool-cue" list, you will just have to be happy with what I pick out.
Seriously though, David . . . There HAS to be SOMETHING on that list that you want.
Don't be shy . . . give me a clue, okay ?

And Thanks, Dave. You truly are a good friend!
