Sorry for the crappy picture quality. All Cell Phone picts because I forgot my Camera in the hotel and it weighs about 8 lbs. Beer , whiskey, smokes, dont mix with carrying the big gun. I do have a couple I took in the hotel I will process and post later. Brett was spooning JT. Stay tuned ! LOL
Looks like a great time fellas with memories that will last you all a lifetime. I see you pimpin the scarf Ray Ray!!
Lol, u know it bro. I had the best time ever, so many botl to thank for inviting me, times like these remind me why i joined this forum, amazing friends and brothers. I would do anything for ya. I learned so much from these guys in just a few days. Shout to Sam from Casa for hooking so many of us up and treating us with top notch class. Can't wait till next year, u can pencil me in now.
Hopefully I can be in attendance next year..that would be dope!

Go easy You would have had a blast in so many ways. However YOU were so missed this year my friend. Perhaps you can 'save the date' for next year...I hope.
So, I'd like to say thank you for all of the guys that came out. It was a really needed weekend of great friends some old and some new. Also, like some people have already said, this is really what makes this forum unique in every way. That word BORK means a lot to me...Hope to see more of the BOTL there next year. (p.s. it is already in the works...)
Mike: As always, a please to see you and Katie. Celebrating your Birthday was amazing...the band was awesome!
Greg...not much can be said about one of the most if not the most generous Brother on the forums. I am humbled by it, and also your knowledge of cigars. I look up to you man...you're my hero!
Tony...Great caravan to the herf...perfect timing and all. Made for a great weekend. Would not have been the same without you and Carrie. Glad she came out, and I hope to see her on the forums here shortly. Hope you guys had a nice day off today.
Ray..Great meeting you brother. I hope that you found something you enjoyed in the pass...hopefully brett didn't just roll you over. We'll hit up the vherf soon man. Or just drive up to Michigan to herf
Brett...Good to finally meet you in person, and finally actually see you smoke a cigar. I was sorta thinking you just talked smoke and didn't actually partake...all of that aside, I am honored to call you brother, you would be the first person to give me the shirt of your back, and i truely appreciate that. i may need a couple of your shirts to cover my back though...did you find the bottle cap in your shoe?
Curt...Thanks for coming out man, I hope I didn't get you addicted to another cigar...And, I appreciate your voice of reason. We will definitely hit up the vherf soon.
Jim (King)--Thanks for being the driver man...appreciate the door to door service. A pleasure to meet you. You arent far away, we need to get together more often.
