Thanks for the name of cigar. It is the one in the "guest of honor" (sic) picture of me. Good looking cigar and great smoke.

Thanks to you both for the corrections of who gave me what. I was a bit overwhelmed there at the time as people were passing out stuff and I was trying to remember names and see what everybody was bringing... and I'm suffer from Cranial Flatulence Syndrome. :-)

So, for getting names wrong of who gave me what, I hope you will all forgive me.

It was wonderful getting to meet you all.

Oh, Moe, thanks for the Canollis. I asked the guys if I could take the leftovers back with me to the family (none of which had ever had one before). They didn't last long and were raved about for a couple days.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

First there was the issue of not having the cord for the camera with me to download pictures. Next, there was the problem of internet connectivity when I got home - it works now, but there were issues since Sunday. What was the problem? I am not sure.

So, here are some pics from the herf.

At the end of pre-herf golfing, enjoying a pint. (Medicook, myself, brothers-in-law Dann & Joel)

All of us in a blurred smoky haze.

The haze remains, but the blur has disipated.

Again, I want to thank all the Massholes who attended and made me feel welcome. I had a great evening!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Weren't there a few more pictures taken that night?

Thanks For The Great Pics, Todd!:-)

I got a bunch but can't find my stupid cord. Must be in one of the last boxes we haven't unpacked....

I'll dig it out.
[Reply]

You are welcome. I was glad to post them and show off the great time.

When you get it - post them up. Would love to see what you snapped off that night.

Great pics Todd, thanks for posting them up. Im glad the family enjoyed the cannoli.

Holy crap, I'm getting fat. :-)

Would have loved to get over to the shop, but there just wasn't enough time to do all that we wanted to do.

Thanks again.

And I'm getting old and weather-beaten. :-)

I guess we just have to deal with it!

Burned the Esencia Lancero last night. Thanks, Tim. It was a tasty smoke and kept me occupied for a good hour and a half+. Some cocoa, slight spice, with cedar and leather were the things I picked up. Smoked it at a Labor Day cook-out with some friends and didn't pay 100% attention to all the subtle nuances and flavors as I'd do with a review.

But, I do know that I enjoyed it immensely

Thanks.

Still reminiscing as I smoke through the sticks that the good brothers of the commonwealth of Massholia showered upon me.

Thanks, Tim.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Enjoyed looking through the pics again... looks like a truly memorable herf!

Blessings on you, Todd. Thanks for being the man of God you are. :-)

It was fun. Thanks for your kind words.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
