Brothers,
The time has come for this gig. Tonight when I get off work I'll have a great cigar-I think the Padron 80th, my fine brother Matt gave me, get packed up and tomorrow we are off to the hotel.
My bud and I will go visit Moore and Bode cigars Friday morning and I'm sure we'll pick up some nice sticks. I haven't tried the full brass, a 7 1/4 inch long pyramid that ends up with an 82 ring at the foot yet, so I might get some of those. John knows the owners very well, so we will likely sit around smoke and chat for a while with them.
Then it's back to the hotel, to check in, hang at the pool with mojito's and of course some great cigars. Can't wait to show John his sticks, I think he will be impressed. I owe so many of you a special thinks for the bombs, buys and trades that made that box what it is. He's getting 18 sticks that cover everything from pre-embargo, favorites, HTF premiums he hasn't tried and his very favorites.
The short party list includes this dear couple, the woman who married my wife and I, a couple I performed their wedding ceremony for and another couple that just got engaged at our house a couple of months back. These are some very sexy, very wild friends that will be partying with us, and as you see, very close friends as well. You cant plan a celebration like this without friends like those, and Im truly blessed to have them. There will be pictures, and I'll find a few that can be posted here, Cigar Porn for sure, I've already taken some of The Box, but don't want to post them until post party.
Ken, top honors and thanks for bombing me with three amazing pairs of sticks that went into the special box. In a group of stand up guys, you've stood a little taller.
Jay, Gale, Casey, Ron, Adam, Scott, John, Adam, Rick, Shane, Ted, Wade and Eddie, thanks for the buys, trades, bombs, passes, etc. that has grown my collection so much in such a short time. Some of these sticks made the special box, some are going as cannon fodder to the masses who will join us this weekend, and others I'm hogging for myself. Thank you all.
