So a couple weeks back a fellow BOTL posted that he was trying to find a couple Illusione 888 Maduros. Checked my shop and yep they had them so i grabbed a couple sticks for him. Shipped them out and got his return shot this weekend.

yea.... I been :-)

I had mentioned that I had yet to find a stick by Drew Estate that I didnt like so he tossed in this five fingered baggie:

LP T52
LP 9
LP 40
Undercrown
MUWAT

out of these I have only had the UC, and i do so enjoy them.

But that wasnt all he sent. also included was this little selection of PPS Operators keeping the Drew's safe:

Fuentes Partagas with the date 1-18-11 on it
Tat Fausto - Had one of these a few weeks ago, love them
5Vegas 'A'
Cain Daytona
Obsidian - Bought some of these on a whim, great little sticks.
Joya De Nicaragua Antano
CAO Gold Maduro
Reserva Miraflor

I am rapidly learning that i have tried hardly any sticks... I keep getting ones that are new to me and Im loving it!

After checking out the sticks I went to move the box that these came in and it still felt heavy. Taki couldnt have sent MORE could he? Yep he did. i guess he thought that I might need something to rest my sticks on and tap the ash into...

Yay a Stinky JR! I keep meaning to grab one but never think about it when im in my B&M.

at this point my dog knocked over the box and this rolled out...

Its labeled "Insanity". I agree. this box is insane. Never tried this brew before brother, but I have plans on saving it untill its a nice warm evening so I can sit out in my yard, fire up a great stick, use my stinky Jr, and sip this brew and let the troubles of my day slide off me.

Thank you so much my friend. I keep commenting to my wife how friendly and giving/sharing the brothers of this board are. Im in awe.
