Thanx so much. Enjoy the long weekend everyone.


Rules are same as the first page. Basically, answer the question when someone asks, and they will send you some smokes. You have 48 hours after answering the question (not from when you get your smokes)to ask the question yourself. Then you send smokes to whoever answers your question.

Rule is 3 smokes minimum, but be as generous as your conscious, your wallet, and in some cases (read: my case), your spouse will allow.

And above all else, have some fun.

I think the long-lost PIF Part I from Gaetano arrived today... Smile

I arrived at the post office to find, neatly tucked into my box, a package with a suspiciously familiar zip code.

The contents appear to confirm my diagnosis:

A.Fuente Don Carlos Robusto
Dominican Bolivar Toro
The Griffin's Edition XXIV Torpedo
Gurkha Expedition Toro
Gurkha Legend Silver Ed Toro
LFD Double Ligero Chisel
RP Fusion Churchill
Padron 6000 (sweet!)

And, to cap it all off... The crowning glory... The smoke to end all smokes...

A Hav-a-Tampa Jewel Sweet Panatela...

Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

It's a fine day to be a smoker...


So many cigars, so little time...

Greetings all. Being a noob and all, I think I understand the rules here. Isn't the 48 hour period up for the next question? Is this thing over? Hoping to join in the fun. Good evening all. Thanx

It does look like Tonito is up, and just passed his time. However, I'm sure it is just because of the holiday and he'll have it posted before too long. Sometimes it happens.

Good luck, and happy piffing.

for the love of joseph and his multi colored coat !!!! its about time !!

i cant use that shipping guy anymore. cp, i apologize for the lateness of the arrival of the package. im just glad everything arrived ok. better late than never i guess. but the delay definitely defeated the purpose of my mailbox double wave attack... unless i hit you in the middle of your rebuilding period??? Razz

so the grand tally should have been:

La Aurora 1495 Robusto
LFD Double Ligero Chisel ** included this because its always been a solid smoke for me
RP Fusion Churchill ** not a huge fan of churchills, hope you dont mind them
Padron 6000 ** thought i remember reading somewhere that you like these, so i sent you my last one
A. Fuente Double Chateau Fuente
A. Fuente Don Carlos Robusto ** i like these alot. so i figured id share the wealth
Torano Virtuoso Encore
5 Vegas Serie A Atomic ** because i wanted to include a few different sizes, so this one joined the torano
The Griffin's Edition XXIV Torpedo ** not sure how you feel about these, but i tried one and like it, so i grabbed this to replace the sapphire i was going to send
Dominican Bolivar Toro
Dominican Cohiba Robusto ** would have sent CC versions of these two but have no access to them yet
Gurkha Expedition Toro
Gurkha Legend Gold Edition Toro
Gurkha Legend Silver Ed Toro
Gurkha Legend Symphony Toro
Gurkha Legend Toro ** like i said, hope you dont mind gurkhas !!! i have a 175 ct humi jam packed with about 20 of each of these
Gurkha Nepalese Warrior Toro
Gurkha Royal Brigade Perfecto
Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro Toro ** something with a little different flavor profile

prizes in the bottom of the cracker jack box:

A pint of Courvoisier VS
A Hav-a-Tampa Jewel Sweet Panatela (because i saw it and i couldnt pass it up... resist the temptation to smoke this CP, id feel bad if you got sick or something...haha)

that second package was supposed to be reinforcements for the first, but as is the norm in the military... the first thing to go is the plan. just my chance to say thanks to a solid botl. hope you enjoy them earl.

This has been quite the journey, and I am deeply grateful for your generosity - I'm going to have a lot of fun working through these smokes! Big Grin

And, yes, I was just getting the mess from the first delivery cleaned up when the second arrived...

I truly love this community!

One item of note - the Postmark on the second package was 8/28; your shipper is having some real issues.

OK, everyone - make sure that you add Gaetano on your must-mooch-from list! This is among the most amazing PIFs I've seen to-date.

Thank you.


So many cigars, so little time...
