A Pleasant Surprise

I have to say, after a long day at work I was expecting nothing but bills in the mail. Instead I found a very pleasant surprise. I've got a big road trip planned over the next couple of weeks and had already started thinking about what cigars I would be taking to keep myself occupied over hundreds of miles of our beautiful great plains. 10 states in 17 days on the road solo gets a guy to thinking about things like that. Thanks to a couple of gentlemen from this forum I have some new additions to the lineup of smokes.

Really looking forward to everything on the left as it's the winter and a robusto is about as long as I'd like to be outside. Some favorites and some that are new to me in that bunch so thank you very much sir. As for the right side, all but the rabito de cochino, which is a great smoke, are new to me and I look forward to trying them. The one wrapped in foil is a... what? Am I supposed to make a hat from the foil to keep the alien signals out? A man has questions after all.

Not only were there great cigars included, but one of the gentlemen included some tasty beverages. He must have mind reading capabilities, as I've been thoroughly enjoying some red ales lately. Perhaps the foil was a gesture to protect me from future mind invasion.

I have been on the receiving end of an awful lot of generosity in my brief time on this forum. This ranks as one of the most considerate and generous gestures I've seen or been a part of while here. Gentlemen I give you my most sincere thanks. I was in need of a bit of a "pick me up" and you guys did just that and more. This place never ceases to amaze me.
