Ditto.

I'll have one sitting and ready for 1 May, and it will be an honor to share in a smoke in honor and memory of your friend and a fellow BOTL.

Definitely Doc. Sometimes I will smoke and think about how the Native Americans used to smoke as a way to carry their souls/thoughts/prayers to the spirits.

This will be one of those times.

No problem, Doc.

...have had an 8-5-8 in my box since last x-mas. May 1st will be a good time to smoke it.

Both I and my son will do so. My condolences, sounds like he was a great guy.

I'll have to get a few of these. I am from Minnesota myself. Where was he from?

Doc: I haven't found the AF 8-5-8 yet; seems to be a shortage of them in Mexico City but I'll do my damndest to track one down.

I just picked a couple up at Argosy casino, prior to seeing your post. I'll hang on to one, I'm sorry for your loss.

I have three in the box. I will make sure to save one for the 1st.

For sure

Will do. Sincere sympathies to his family.

Bear

Picked up one today. My prayers are with his family

I always seem to have a couple on hand and will smoke one in honor of your friend on May 1. Please accept my deepest sympathies, Doc.

I just picked one up. I am so sorryt for you loss-I am a fellow MN'er, and also just lost a friend in feb. I will be lighting up in Mr. Mitchell's Honor

Done Doc... everyone should be so well remembered

That's very sad Doc. I am very sorry for your loss, it's a loss to all the cigar smoking communities.
RIP BOTL.

Doc,

I'm having trouble finding an 8-5-8 sungrown. I went to 4 local tobacconists today and a couple of them looked at me like I had two heads.

My "go to" local said he hasn't had any for a while and that they don't come out too often. He has a good selection of Fuente's and usually gets a pretty good allocation of OpusX.

I've been to a few online retailers and can't find it there either. I picked up a 858 natural and a Montesino sungrown. My local says this is every bit as good if not better than the Fuente sungrown.

I'll smoke the 858 at night and the Montesino at lunch(I'm liking these two smoke days)
