Title: Bombing Acknowledgements 2015
Post by: mpurtle01 on 01/10/2015 07:33 AM
BOOM! Brad (Vroomp) slammed me with a bomb out of the blue. Well, not totally out of the blue. He bought a few boxes of these Davidoffs last month and my smart remark was "those must be good". Of course I was thinking they look good and I've never had a Davidoff. This man slammed me with two, and just look at the rest, all of which I have never had. Brad, your generosity is amazing! Thanks for the bomb brother! Incredible! Oh, and I know Brad has been smoking the Psyko for a long time now and I have yet to try one of those. Very excited!

New sticky Please

I don't even know where to begin... The level of comradery and selflessness of this community continues to blow my mind. I got back to my place tonight after a particularly long day (shooting approaches in the weather for 2 hours straight with weather at the approach mins for any fellow pilots) and I returned to discover that I'd been bombed! That makes twice in about one week! I couldn't believe it! Bmac7754 sent me 10 cigars! I owe you a huge thanks! Truly I don't know what to say!

Nice to see they made it Kegs.  Let them thaw out a bit.  It was -25 the night I dropped them off at the post office.  Enjoy

Thanks again so much! Yeah, as a general rule of thumb even if a cigar has already been properly aged I try to always let it sit in my humidor for a minimum of 30 days before I touch it. It's finally started warming up here but with the warmer weather we're getting lots of rain and low cloud ceilings!

Andy, Phog made a post last week about finding some Old Banded LFDs, I expressed interest in them and he was able to get the last 2. I offered trade or Pp, he thought Pp was good and I should have known better.

He must have done a little looking at my wishlist because he included a couple ride-a longs with the LFDs. Las Calaveras LC550 which I have no been able to get my hands on to this point and a Cain F Lancero, I've had one of these and loved it but haven't been able to find any more. Couldn't be more thrilled with this.


Edit: Won't let me attach the photo, getting this error. Any idea? The photo is 34kb

I had that same problem and what ended up working for me was submitting the post, then going to edit it and using the "add/remove attachments" function.

Heh! Back in the old days when all we had for instruments was a cat and a duck in the cockpit and the weather closed in we just flew the plane into the ground. Then we gathered up all the pieces and put it back together so we could take off again!  :biggrin:

Very generous bomb!

My mailbox took a double air strike!
Grabbed the Mail on my way in from work to find not 1 but 2 unexpected packages in my mailbox.its days like this that I am glad my mailbox is 1/4 mile walk from the house, it makes me feel a bit safer with the bombing missions that occur frequently from the fine folks here on Geeks.
First out was from Brian (bmac) who decided to ship me the infused fiver that he had set away for the OAG SB Board, we were chatting on a Herf and I had mentioned that if I won a quarter I planned on trying to pick that because I wanted to give a few infused cigars a try. He said maybe they would end up my way. I told him not to but even according to himself, "He isn't a good listener "
Thanks Brian

Then I pull out a second ticking package with a return address from a good friend Chuck (cfickter), he decided that just a simple "Thanks" for me lending a hand with his Guru Contest wasn't enough but he also had to annialate my mailbox with 1/2 dozen cigars.
Another Thanks to you my friend.

Here is the yesterdays haul from my mailbox :-0

Brian's: Tabak Especial, Java, Kuba Kuba Deluxe Tubo, Acid Extraordinary Larry & Acid Opulence 3

Chuck's: Leaf & Bean by Noel, Amazon Basin, Nica Rustica, Punch Rare Corojo, 601 Atomic & Tatuaje Jeckyll

I still need to figure out how to post a picture, but I wanted to post here to thank gpd4 for his generous gift of 6 great cigars.  Most of which are actually new to me so that's pretty fantastic in and of itself!

I really didn't expect a bomb from this site.  I came to get an inventory done and it just seemed like there were some fun people around here so I posted an intro.  In that intro I said I don't like to call cigar gifts "bombs".  Well, gpd4 decided to send me a note saying that, "Hate the word all you want, but you know it's fun to get mail that isn't a bill!"  Ha!  No doubt man.  Well put.

I just realized you can't see other user's addresses until you build up some points so I guess I'll need to post a bit more frequently so I can work my way towards being able to pay it forward.

Thank you George, very kind gift.

Edit:  The cigars!

Fonseca Vintage Belicoso  (New to me and I've been wanting to try the brand!)
Drew Estate Undercrown Dogma  (Always a winner.  I actually like these better than most of the LP stuff.)
Headly Grange Estupendos  (The only HG I've had was the Drumstick, so this is a great new one for me.)
La Perla Habana Black Pearl Maduro Torpedo  (I have been wanting to try this for a while but never have seen them around.  I LOVE maduro cigars.)
Penar del Rio Small Batch Exclusive Corojo Double Robusto  (Yet another new one to me.  I feel like a kid in a candy shop.)
Xikar HC Series Maduro Belicoso  (Same thing as the Black Pearl, I have wanted to try this one for a while.)
