This news floored me. Truly saddened and shocked. Mac was a huge contributor to the board and will be greatly missed.
I can't smoke a maduro without thinking about him. Smoking one tonight in his honor.
:-)
Love you Mac!

Kills me to have gotten the news. I only met mac a few times in person but he was always a shining soul with a smile. RIP brother.

I'm still in shock. While Mac and I interacted (busted balls!) a lot here, I only ever met Mac in person once, several years ago at a herf hosted by Dave (68TriShield). Coincidentally, that day was the only time I ever had the opportunity to meet Peter as well. Thinking back on that day today brings back many great memories, but on this day, brings me sadness as well. I'd like to think Peter and Mac are herfing today, together.

I'll post more tomorrow after I talk to him.

Lighting a Padilla Reserva Maduro now, in remembrance of Mac. Had to be a maduro. If I had a Mets hat, I'd be wearing that too.

No words....tragic...Rest in Peace, Mac. I didn't know him real well, but my memories of him are exceedingly positive.

Took some time to look at those herf photos. Good on ya, those who took time to capture the day!
Usually don't make maduro my first cigar of the day, but it seemed appropriate. Big old Churchill Flor de Oliva, and it's smoking perfectly.

Ok, I spoke to Caleb this morning. He informed me that they are directing people who want to help out to mail a check directly to the house.
For those who do not have the address, you can pm me or anyone who knew Mac for the address or if you have FB or Messenger you can contact Willy''s Cigar and they will give you the address that way.
I'm sure you could also contact Cigarnut (Michael) for the address as he now is the keeper of the CA Rolodex.
Thanks everyone!
