In the past year, I've had few opportunities to sit back, relax, and light-up. I had an ACL reconstruction (my third knee surgery) last April that never healed properly and left me with severe osteoarthritis in my right knee; we moved back to Okinawa from California in October, and we (my wife) gave birth to our second daughter in December. I got too caught up in life.

Now that things are settled, I have spent the last few weeks restocking the vino. Here's what we're up to so far:

Box - Tat Black Tubo
Box - Tat J21
Box - Cabaiguan Guapos 46
Box - Viaje Double-Edge Sword
Box - LFD Air Bender Podersoa
Box - E.P. Carrillo Short Run Populares
Box - Illusione MK

5er - Viaje 50/50
5er - Viaje TNT
5er - Viaje Sumerfest Toro
5er - Cuba Aliado Miami Robusto

I figure I'm off to a good re-start. I've helped kick a good friend over the edge and down the slope, and have generally re-learned to importance of relaxing with a good smoke.

I would also like to thank everyone here. I've been out for awhile, but it feels like coming home again.
