A Bomb Falls on Denton...

I've received notice of a bomb falling on my address in Denton, Texas.  Thankfully, I'm in California visiting my folks and am unhurt by this unforeseen blast.  The poor guy who checks my mail in my absence found the package and opened it (with my permission, and yes, the guilt overwhelms me as I type this) only to have his mind literally blown out of his head by Herb's explosive generosity.  

Since I'm not there I couldn't take pictures, but my friend (now scarred for life, thanks Herb) reports that the package contained an Oliva Serie G, a Punch, a Gran Habano and one other cigar whose name I can't remember at present time (he told me of the contents over the phone).  My friend doesn't know cigar sizes so he couldn't give me much information in that regard, but he described them as "short."  But that isn't even the best part.  Herb also apparently sent me an actual humidor because he had read that I only have tupperdors.  I can't accurately report on the size of the humidor, but to know that I now possess a real humidor at all is a tremendous feeling.  The fact that it was his first humidor that he purchased (and subsequently outgrew) leaves me feeling even more honored.  

So thank you, Herb.  Your generosity is truly overwhelming, and you better keep a lookout for bombs over Gig Harbor as soon as I get back to my arsenal in Texas.  You have been warned.

Nice bomb!! Great job Herb!
But I really liked the name "Wish Stealer". It had a Native American ring to it. -Brlesq

A wise geek once told me that moving up from a daily smoke to a weekly or even bi-monthly smoke would be worth it, if I could learn how to appreciate a really really good cigar. -southernrun

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.

It shall be done.  I get back on the 9th of July, and not long after pictures will be posted.

I'm glad that everything arrived safely.

 I can't remember the fourth cigar either.   :confused:

Have a safe flight home.

I'll let you know when I know.  Really, thanks again man.  I can't wait to get home and set up the humidor!

Actually, I think it was a La Aurora 1495 but I'm just not sure.  It definitely wasn't a dog rocket.
