Nothing light about it Jeff,
Hope you're getting back to the more normal sleep patterns. Ever since I got back from Louisiana & Mississippi I have been going a mile a minute brain wise. Once I wake up, the mental hamster gets on the wheel and that's it for sleep.

BinDer,
Checking the review right now. Sounds great! If it passes the cigar god test, it's gotta be good.

My RATS package should have arrived at it's destination yesterday noon. Hopefully he didn't pawn them to buy rock

Maybe mine is with it Binder.

The anticipation is killing me

That's a great package Andy. Nice play!

That is a NICE package Andy. There have been some really nice packages in this round of the R.A.T.S.

Eddie

So wait Andy sent a Perodmo P and got a Perdomo P? He knew these were great all along and was just humoring me?

I was right, my package was so valuable that it had to arrive special delivery. My GF just called to say it arived escorted by two armed guards, a Canadian Mountie, a Navy SEAL team and a gun toting midget. I will share the contents and the sender when I get home to check it out.

the gun toting midget is more lethal then the Canadian mountie by the way.

I am off in another 3 hours. Can't wait to get home to see if mine came

I arrived home harried and late because of traffic but grateful to have survived another week at the rat race. I found my package from JeepCop waiting for me.

Ok, package is an understatement. Dale sent a small coffin full of cigars. You don't pick it up yourself, you call some pallbearers.

Just FYI, I coded the below; Red means favorite, Blue means something I've wanted to try but haven't.

Let's start off:

K. Hansotia Sig. 101
K. Hansotia Symphony
Perdomo Reserve Cameroon
Perdomo Estate Seleccion Prestigio
Pueblo Dominicano
RP Vintage 1990
Gurkha Grand Master
Greycliff Original PGX
Greycliff Professionale PGX
A. Fuente Salute...

Gasp, gasp, too many to list, wait here and make base camp, continue in morning...no must keep going...

H. Upmann Chairman's Reserve
Camacho Liberty 11/18
Camacho Liberty Amendment XII
5 Vegas Limitada
5 Vegas Gold
5 Vegas Series A
Torano Signature
Monte Platinum
CAO Black Gothic

Gasp, cough, wheeze....ok, that's it I think...

I'm calling Internal Affairs on JeepCop, because this is just criminal, I think we could have him charged for "death by cigars." I'm going to be up all night sorting and stowing these away.

The Ghurka GM is a big 8.5x52 barber pole wrappered cigar that Dale sent to try and change my mind about Ghurkas. I have to say the Hansotia's look pretty appealing too. The PD and the 5 Vegas have been in CI a lot and I was going to order a sampler this weekend, looks like I can smoke these now and then order a box of which ever flavor I like. The Camacho's are some of my fav's and have been a little hard to find around here in local shops, thanks again for those! JeepCop has truly outdone himself and I just can't belive this. It's going to take me some time to absorb it all. Thanks again Dale and thanks for playing.

And apparently schools in Kansas ain't that good, Dale nearly quadrupled the R.A.T.S. requirement of 5 cigars. I can just imagine it now...

"1, 2, 3 uh, uh, 3, oh F* it, I'll just throw all of these in, has to be about 5 there!"

The pueblo Dominicana is pretty good. let it res awhile though.

I also liked the CAO black.

Am i the only one who hasn't received yet? I hope it's at home waiting for me!

Now THAT is the spirit of a good RATS! Way to go Dale, that made a statement!

No, BinDer, not humoring you. I got a Perdomo P with the white label. I sent a Perdomo with the silver label. It's all good when the Perdomos come back as if a boomerang!

Nice packages guys. This is how we do it...

Binder,

Please send that H Upmann Chairman's reserve right over so i can smoke it for you. I'll even let you know how you liked it.

The very first handrolled I ever smoked was an Upmann 100 robusto. That was the cigar that got me hooked and as my tastes changed over the years I drifted away from Upmanns. I can't wait to try it!

The impact of Jeep's package is just now starting to sink in, that's like a whole box of cigars! I'm awed still and humbled a little. I might even get a bit weepy. Damn noobs, makin' the cigar god weepy!

These RATS passes show what great guys we've got here. Way to go for everyone that participated.

BinDer - Say a big thanks to the GF for coordinating.

No RATS for me yet

Maybe tomorrow or Monday.

Just got off work and arrived home to an overwhelming bomb from JSprizzle! Here's what he bestowed upon me:

Padilla Hybrid Churchill
CAO Superbowl Party Palms Edit. Perfecto
CAO Cameroon Rothschild
Jose L. Piedra Conservas (from overseas)
Partagas Short (see above)

And then, as an added bonus...

Gurkha Ancient Warrior (a BinDer favorite )
Hoyo de Monterrey Seleccion de Arts Churchill
AF Hemmingway Sig.
Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend Gorilla
Montecristo Platinum Petite Belicoso
Vegas de Fonseca Sobrino

WOW!!!!

Jamie, what a great selection! You Da Sprizz!Thanks buddy!!!
