Requesting a moment of silence

I'd like to request a short moment of silence.  My poor mailman didn't even see it coming, though I was able to snap a picture of the aftermath.  :biggrin:

Francis (okieeagle) gave my mailbox no rest, and I think you'll see he absolutely crushed it!  No kidding, this is absolutely amazing.  Here is what I brought out of the shipping box:



Yes, yes, and yes!  When I pulled up the tabs to open the herf-a-dor I had an ominous feeling that I was about to be destroyed.  A couple hours later my wife helped me regain consciousness and picked me up off the floor.  This is what was to be found:



Francis, you are a madman!  In case it is difficult for anybody to see the list in the picture, included was an amazing assortment:

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature  (aged nearly a year!)
Chateau Fuente Double Chateau Fuente Sun Grown
Padron Serie 1926 No. 2
Macanudo Café Hyde Park
Alec Bradley Prensado Gran Toro

My god, it's going to take a while to let this soak in.  These are some amazing sticks, and a couple I have recently read up on and was really wanting to give a go.  I'm going to take Francis' advice and tuck these away for some time, so I'd love to express my appreciation now, but will certainly do so again when these finally make their way out of my humidor and into my ash tray!

Francis -- thank you!  :thumbsup:

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

You said you'd pay it forward and you sure did, strong work comrade!
I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

By the way, I forgot to mention this before.  That Herfador came to me from another trade, but since I already had two of them, I figured you'd need it more than I.

Hope your year is going well so far!

Cheers and Happy Smoking
