L to R - The Big Ugly, Gringococolo, and burgess_b

We're enjoying an Opus X on a hot muggy night in Iwakuni Japan.

This was the second cigar of the night, the first cigar was a blind taste test provided by burgess_b, a Havana Montecristo, yummy.

Great cigar night, great laughs, great friends.

thanks Brian817708.JPG

The first thing I asked was: did someone photoshop and erase the top of Gringococolo's head? LOL!

Looking good guys. Great to see BOTL's getting together!

Looks like the panel at one of those old Dean Martin Roasts that were on TV when I was a kid.

Only without all glamorous people and the tuxedos.

Good to see you all!

I sure hope you weren't mixing that good bourbon with coke!?!? That would be a shame...

Looks like a great time!

A GREAT time was had by all!!!

To dispell a few of the misconceptions:

1. Gringococolo's head is NOT flat (nor was it photo-shopped). He is wearing the classic and very fashionable Marine Corps style haircut called , "The Flat -Top" ($6.00 at the local barber shop)

2. The "round barrel" of whiskey is actually Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon. Gifted to the crew of "Japan Herf '06" by Cereal City Cigar Smoker (one very fine BOTL). Very smooth bourbon, even in the morning.

3. The Blanton's and Knob Creek were mixed with Coke (I know it's a sin, but it was still delicious).

4. The "EDGE" can of shaving cream in the middle is actually a can of butane for refilling the colibri. We refilled that lighter many, many times over the span of the Herf.

Again, GREAT times were had by all and there's an open invitation for any BOTL's or SOTL's who are in Japan and want to stop by to rest their bones, get some good chow, have a drink, and share a cigar.

The burbon is almost 50% water. So the answer is yes.

I was feeling the effects of the MC Edmundos before we even got to the X's.

Good herfin good times... serious health damage (let the taxpayers pay for it, VA heaths benifits baby!!).
