Had an absolutely GREAT time. It was a pleasure and an honor to finally meet Sam.
As usual, the generosity of the NY BOTLs is astounding. tone-ny shows up with not one, but TWO boxes of smokes :whistling: that had a LOT of age on them, Seavita has a tray of the original Factory Press, and Strayvector arrived bearing multiple gifts.
The SLR A gifted to me by BigMacFU was an outstanding smoke.
Fivebyfifty gifted these shaggy-footed cigars from a roller very well known to this board that, by all accounts, are going to be great smokes.
Dave was gifting a smoke from a marca that I have never had and much appreciate the opportunity to try.
And this is only a partial account of our evening.
Oh, I can't forget the very special cigar that rob300c gifted to me. Thanks bro :thumbs: .
As you can very clearly see, this group of guys is the embodiment of what it means to be a BOTL, not just for what they give but for the pleasure of their company and the fine individuals that they are :thumbs: :thumbs: .
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you.
