Received a PIF from the legal (?) Alien on Saturday. 5 sticks instead of the 3 required, all great shape, well packaged, blah blah blah. The alien proves to be out of this world again.
I don't know how someone deployed can do such things, but jacob (jpclotfelter) sent out a tremendous movie trivia prize from Afghanistan all the way to so small town Ohio. Great selection of sticks with several I have not tried and look forward to doing so. I appreciate the sticks from another stand up BOTL!
I got a couple in today. A Fun and Games pack from TheShaun, some nice sticks in there, thanks. And a random bomb from rad for sharing some info with him. Welcome to my hit list rad.
I just received my end of a "trade" with Beta today... holy crap, this trade was SO uneven (on my part).... This guy is RIDICULOUSLY awesome, and threw in so much extra stuff (yeah, I won a F&G prize but geeeeez). I won't disclose the contents cuz I haven't asked him if he'd mind... but:
Betasynn - you're a true BOTL and I would trade with you ANY freakin day...
Did you guys hear that rumble this morning? That was me when I opened my PO box and found amidst the ruins a box from Renaissance_Man and Betasynn ... it appears I have been ganged up on by a couple of the members here. There was nothing else to do but try and pick up the pieces and rumage thru the debris.
There was a blast proof box that contained the following sticks from these two "Mad Bombers"...two diiferent Gurkha's a Signature and a Sherpa A Royal Jamaca Oro Rojo, never tried one of these RP Vintage 1992, mmmm CAO Gold, A Victor Sinclair Bohemian, another I haven't tried yet, A Drew Estates Tabak Especial, my wife put dibbs on that one. A Padilla Obsidian A Cuba Libre, love these A Cuavana Intenso A Sol Cubano Cuban Cab.
There was also 6 more sticks which these two sent out, and these are going to cause a real stir here on the boards. I am VERY HONORED to have recieved these sticks from you two great BOTL. I can't say for sure what these sticks are, but there are two different types and they have got to have what I would consider the most incredible Labels on any cigers I have ever seen. (Now, you guy's may not agree, but...)
I have included a link to these sticks as I just had to take a picture of them. Check these out boys. Now I feel SPECIAL !! I have my own labels!!!!! LMAO A HUGE thank you goes out to Rennie and Beta for this one. It will take me some time to figure out an appropriate response... rest assured I will !
I'll wait till stan posts, I don't know if we're supposed to reveal what those Laker sticks are; I contributed a bunch of them, bu I think the maduros are all from stan.

How FREAKIN' KEWL is this ?!!
HAAHAHAAH! BOOOOMMM!!! That's all I can say ... I was wondering whether to write BOMB but decided against it in case they open the package at the border haahah...
My girlfriend thought I was crazy when I was working on these and meticulously applying each one of them! She was like - "You don't put that much effort in what you do for me! You are gay!" haahah... I am glad though the effect was as I wished for it! Thanks a lot to Beta for contributing the Connecticut shaded sticks! The cigars you have are actually very good cigars in themselves. You have 3x Perdomo ESV 1991s and 3x Rocky Patel MM - one of my fave rockys. In a pretty interesting vitola as well...
I am glad you enjoyed it Laker! You are officially the only one on the forum (i suspect) with their own label cigars! Except for Goldy :P... When I made these labels I couldn't but make some different ones for mystery cigars I sent him... In any case
Cheers and enjoy BOTL! I hope this pays back for all the Canadian jokes

Thanks for bombing together, Joe! I was thinking about letting him sweat to figure out the sticks, but I think he'll appreciate it even more when he knows what they are ... Smoke away, Laker! And keep those labels for ur collection !
So I decided after all the smoke had cleared from the direct hit I took this morning from Rennie and Beta that I should continue to look thru what was left of my mail.
In amungst the burning bills and junk mail, there was a still smoking box.
I was intrigued because this thing seemed to be the only thing that survived the blast. I had no idea who it was from till I opened it 'cause of the singed address being unreadable.
When I finally broke into the thing I knew instantly why it had survived! Gmill had sent me out this BOMB PROOF container which included some unbelieveable ordinance. Gene may have packaged this one up in his sleep... I think he is probably still scratching his head wondering where some of his favorite sticks have disappeared to. He included in this mini nuke the following A Camacho Triple Maduro An Ashton VSG A Arturo Fuente Anejo #55 with 10 months on it ! An Arturo Fuente Don Carlos with 6 months on it! And a Cusano Hermanos Vintage with over a year on it!!
Gene, this was definately a killer blow after this mornings direct hit. Holy cow man. I have only tried the Ashton VSG out of the whole bunch. I have read so much about both those Fuente's that they will be speaking to me in my sleep! I Have also been wanting to pull the trigger on one of those Camacho Triple Maddy's as well.
I'm goning to go lay down now, I've been hit real hard today. And I have so many decisions to make about what (not) to smoke tonight ! LMAO. It's a GOOD DAY!!!!
What's left to say about this guy that hasn't already been said? Doug took direct aim at one of his own countrymen! KABLAM!!! Doug hit me with half a dozen beauties, including 2 of the notorious forum blends.
Being that we're from the same neck of the woods, I went to Doug via PM with lots of crazy questions, each of which he took the time to answer. Even after all that, he was still nice enough to bomb me with some goodies.
Doug, you're a true gentleman and a hell of a stand up guy. Thanks again and again!!
The generosity and camaraderie in this thread alone begs the question why hasn't there been talk of a forum herf at an easy to get to destination....
I don't mind sayin'...I cried just a little bit when I put those Forum Blend sticks in the box. Then I took 'em back out again, cried a little more and put them back in and sealed it up.

Just wanted to make sure Gene saw this. It was so generous for him to have sent me these that I don't want him to miss the THANK YOU GENE !!!!
