Jason, just wanted to let you know I got your package today. Awesome selection of bands, but there seems to be a problem. 5 of the bands somehow seem to have glued themselves around some cigars! In all seriousness man, thank you. I'm overwhelmed at your generosity. Pics to come tomorrow.

That's odd :-)

hopefully mine show today
[Reply]

Mike. Yeah, you both sent on the same day, so I'm expecting the mailman to wander by with yours probably sometime today.

Now for Jason's explosive hit on me.
Image Baggie full of great bands.

Image The "boom sticks" themselves. L to R: Illusione Rothchildes, Ramon Bueso Genesis the Project, PDR 1877 Capa Oscura, Joya de Nicaragua Dark Corojo Antaņo, Espinosa y Ortega Murcielago Rothchildes.

And great, just when I finally get my mailbox fixed from Jason's explosive attack, Mike decides to blow it up again! Must be something about the western part of the US, the bands keep affixing themselves to cigars in transit! In seriousness though, thank you Mike. I'm just overcome by your and Jason's generosity. Will posts pics later when I'm off work.

Enjoy Derek, and good luck with the project, but seeing the other guys who responded to your call for help, I am sure this is not over :-)
[Reply]

I have a ton of bands. Give me your address and I will send you plenty to complete project mentioned above!
[Reply]

Well done, Jason; make him "work" for his bands. :-)
[Reply]

Theodore, pm enroute.
[Reply]

Mike, I hope it's over. My poor little tupperdore is waving the white flag. :-)
[Reply]

Knowing these guys, it probably is not over! :-)

As promised, pics of the devastation of Mike's bombing raid. Don't have pics of the baggie of bands, as the wife has already started dipping into them to work on the first project.

L to R: Montecristo Tubo, A. Fuente Grand Reserve, Oliva Serie O, Nub Cameroon, and a 601 Green Oscuro (feel free to correct me if I've labeled any of these wrong, still learning). Once again, thanks.

Looks like the wife has got started on my frame project. Got these pics sent to me today at work.

I'm sure she'll have it totally covered by the time I get home. Then just gotta seal it and scan the pics. (For those wondering, the cheapie Pirate's Gold was from my stash of bands!)

looking good so far brother :-)

The finished matte and framed. Now just got to get the pics printed out and put in it. The Romeo y Julieta band is from the first real cigar I ever smoked.

looks like a winner :-)

That's great! I showed it to my wife and she wants to steal the idea (she frames as a hobby).
