What a Week

Ok so wow what a week, this first package I recieved was from Alan and included 8 HdM Churchills, box code: CPV LR00, unfortunately the 2 of these that have been smoked were both plugged. However, once the plug issue was remedied they were wonderful cigars. Also in the package were 12 SLR Serie A, box code: RPO JUN00, none of these have been smoked yet but I look forward to the first one.

And the heavy hitting package of the week came from Vithoun. The premise for this package was the MAW thread on aficianado. Well he offered to take care of the Phoenicia from my list but said that he couldnt take care of anything else. To me the Phoenicia was more than enough on its own but holt shit did he send some great suprise sticks as well.

Included was:
Cohiba Robusto
Ramon Allones RE Libano Phoenicia
Montecristo EL 2001 Double Corona
Montecristo No 2

What a great guy and in case he didnt notice my MAW list said and EL/RE so he covered the 2 stick rule with the Monte EL. Now unfortunately when am I going to have a moment special enough for that Phoenicia and EL?

Anyway Im off to Alabama next week, so who knows what surprise sticks I might find down there.

upcoming stuff

So I have a package from Alan on aficianado that should be arriving in the next day or two which contains 8 HdM Churchills and 12 SLR serie A which is pretty exciting. They are from '99 and '00 respectively which I understand to be down years for CCs but who knows maybe the 10yo sticks will be phenomenal and in any case Im still excited.

Also coming up is my MAW from Vithoun also on aficianado which contains at the minimum a Ramon Allones Phoenicia, this alone would be amazing and I told him that anything else in the package would be icing. But I think I may have to fortify my apartment for what I anticipate to be a heavy hitting package.

Anyway thats all for now, unless everyone wants to know about my research but thats not cigar related.

(there steve I finally posted again)
