Apparently the planets being lined up this month resulted in 3 spectacular packages arriving today.

After a trip from Atlanta to Oakland and finally to Minneapolis my share of Brad-Vroomp's Davidoff box split arrived. I went all in for a full box of these delicious sticks.

Another split that resulted from a Google herf last weekend with Brad-Longhorn and Rob-sar127 I ended up with half a box of AF Anejo 8-8-8. Apparently 12 cigars weren't enough to fill a small flat rate so Rob added a couple hitchhikers to fill it up. An Opus X Angel's Share and a CH Yellow Rose...wow is all I can say to that.

A third package also arrived. I got in on the very limited Cigar Federation JW Marshall by Black Label Trading Co. Theses were limited to only 75 - 10ct boxes. You can read about it on HalfWheel here: http://halfwheel.com/black-label-trading-co-creates-j-w-marshall-for-cigar-federation/104418

There's a little note about a golden ticket "something really unique about this project which will be shared with everyone who makes a purchase — think 'golden ticket'." Apparently 5% (3-5) boxes contain a golden ticket which rewards the holder with a second box of the blend in the vitola of their choosing. I'll be damned if I wasn't one of the lucky few to find a golden ticket in my box.

Thank you Brad and Rob for the splits!

So back in January I bought a box of JW Marshall by Black Label Trading which was an exclusive to Cigar Fed, only 75 boxes, 3 of which contained a golden ticket. See original post. I won 10 JW Marshall blend in the size of my choosing, I choose 6.25x48. Today those special cigars of which there are only 10 in the world arrived...as long as the other 2 winners didn't choose the same vitola.

I'm guessing they are going to need some rest, I think they were rolled in April. Pretty psyched to have my own cigar...kind of my own.

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