I spoke with Eddie (WhiteLightning) this afternoon and he and his new wife will be rolling into the Raleigh area later today.

He should be at Empire Cigars around 7:00PM, uncelnino (Dave) and I will be there to greet them. We should have a few "Special" cigars for the newlyweds and an adult beverage or two. :cbig:

Any other B.O.T.L.er's in the area are more than welcome to come and join us! :thumbsup:

I had a great time tonight with the newlyweds, Eddie (WhiteLightning) and Christine....they are damn good people!

I presented both of them with a couple of wedding presents:

Christine - a CAO L’Anniversaire Maduro from 1996, the original Costa Rican version, when they were damn good!

Eddie - a LFD Salomone and a Tat T110

And to top it off, I cracked open a 6 yr old bottle of Deco Port. For those of you not familar with Deco Port it's a unique after-dinner wine that blends
the best ports of California and South Australia, gently kissed with essences of natural bittersweet chocolate.

And than to make things even better uncelnino (Dave) turned Eddie loose in the humidor, but I'll let Eddie tell you what he walked out with....other than the big grin on his face!

The four of us probably spent close to 2 hours smoking and drinking and just enjoying life!

Thank you Ron, you are a very generous person!

(it was not a deed though, it was an act of love & friendship for two great people and my new friends!)

I do believe Eddie indicated they were headed up to Baltimore for a meet-up and than up thru Pa. for another meet-up.

It was great spending time with both of you and have a safe trip home.

Had a great time meeting up with Dave and Larry. THANKS for the awesome smokes guys!!! Larry the port was excellent Thank You for sharing that with us! I was able to convince Dave into selling me his only full box of SW Maduro's (SCORE!!!). Dave also gave my wife a lighter that she was trying to buy for me.

These 2 guys are perfect examples of what BOTL's are.

Here are some pics:

We found out that Dave can't keep his eyes open for pics.




Attempt to photograph Dave with his eyes open. Success!!(in Borat's voice)




All 4 of us but only half of Dave




All 4 of us this time only half of Larry




Thanks for the great smokes, libations, and the awesome memories guys!!!
