It was a great time. I got goody bags from Al and Conan... smokes, chips, salty nuts. Only thing missing was a van and some chloroform.

Yes, Palama bore gifts from the Islands. I've finished the Honey Roasted Macadamia nuts and am eyeing the bag of One Ton chips. The My Father Le Bijou toro is awaiting a special occasion when I'll have time smoke that big one.
MACS is too modest to say what gifts he showered Palama and me with: three well aged cubans, not Manny, Moe and Jack, but, 1) Montecristo Petit Edmundo, 2010, 2) Partagas SD4, 2008, and 3) H. Upmann Mag 46, 2008. Very generous, Bro. Mouth watering just reading that line-up.
Think the dude in the van was busy Sunday night, but he might be coming to So Cal in January and possibly staying at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. That is a spectacular resort, and I saw that they do allow cigar smoking on their terrace bar at the tables closest to the beach....just saying...
Hey rrumba, if you have transportation and can meet somewhere, let us know. The drive from here to San Diego on a week day is rough though, taking about 3 hours in ridiculous traffic along the 5/405, and just a few minutes less along the inland route 91/15 past MACS' place.
