I got home last night from a business trip and I see a few delivery boxes on my front porch as I pull into my driveway. I hurriedly put them in the house figuring I'd get to them in the morning. It was a shitty trip and all I wanted to do was throw my suitcase in my bedroom, change my clothes, and pour a glass of scotch. I got up this morning, fired up my espresso maker in order to make my normal double espresso, and decided to glance at all the boxes as everything was warming up. My company sends me a ton of shit weekly, so this is a normal ritual. As I went through all the boxes I noticed one box was from Bill and I instantly got that tingle we all know when Bill sends us a box via UPS. He has bombed me into the stone age on quite a few occasions and I was really curious what this was. I opened the box and removed his customary accompanying letter.
Before reading it, I started thinking that maybe he mixed me up with someone else...and if that was the case, I was definitely keeping the f*cking cigars. Screw the other guy. Well, he had typed my name on the top of the letter (fist pumped, f*ck yeah!) and started out by apologizing for the delay, saying he owed me a 5er of cigars...of which I had no idea why. He gave a very eloquent description of each stick that had me wanting to smoke them all this morning!! But I still couldn't figure the 'why'. In the past Bill has sent me cigars I haven't tasted in 35-40 years...seriously. You light up one of his aged Cuban cigars and it immediately takes me back in time within a few puffs to the point of bringing tears to my eyes as I'm in a time machine. Here he did it again, that son-of-a-gun.
Bill, the best I can come up with is this was from one of our fantasy football league payouts...but I sucked in all three of them last year. Mistake or not, I was like a kid on Christmas morning!
Thanks, Santa Bill...I love ya' my brotha....and I may have to take a trip to the west coast just to give you a hug and a kiss. Maybe I'll get BBS to come with me.
PS: the Monti #1 will be the first to be sacrificed...

Find 5 that have the real colorful bands, and we could have gone on with our lives... BUT I just couldn't do it. After I replenished my collection I was waiting for one more very special box (took f'king forever) That was the montys.
