as many of you read, I've been in Florida for the last three weeks and got home about 10 hours ago. First I took a long nap, damn jet lag, then I did some groceries and after that it was time to empty out the suitcase and cooler I brought back with me (the box I send home hadn't arrived yet).

This is what I brought back, most of it are purchases but there are also cigars in the pile that were bombed and given to me. Along my trip I met up with old friends and made a lot of new friends who were all more then generous. Now I won't mention everybody by name, because I will probably forget a couple and I don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

This is what I brought home:

There are three bombs that I want to specify though. The first one is from Cigarcop who smacked me in the head with a georgeous and heavy ashtray

Image

The second bomb I would like to show is one by Stearns, he knew I was looking for a pipe lighter and the moment I pulled up at EPIC, Smoking Gator gave me an envelope from Ben with this lighter and a cigar.

Image

Last but certainly not least was a little something from Chingas. He started 'Team Death' which I renamed to 'Team Pink Bunny'. Guess Chingas thought it was time to stop that chit, so he bombed me some stickers, some cigars and ............

Thank all of you, not just for the bombs but also for the friendship, the hospitality, the laughter, the knowledge shared and the good time I had. I keep saying I want to visit Cuba some day and Asia again, but I know that my next trip will be to a destination in the USA again to meet my brothers from my cigar family.
