Welcome to the third annual Birthday Bomb Exchange! This will be a year long exchange to give all you uber-generous geeks a chance to nail another geek with a killer bomb for their birthday.

What needs to be in the bomb:
Cigars of course! The bomb should have a minimum total value of $25 as customarily determined around these parts (CI box prices, etc), should contain at least 2 cigars, and each cigar should have at least a 3.5 star rating (so no pineapple white owls...unless it's a gag that is thrown in over and above the $25 bomb). There's no minimum or maximum value on each cigar, just make sure they're not dog rockets. There are no upper limits on the bomb value or size, spank that birthday boy as hard as you want! You may want to designate a particular birthday cigar similar to the new year smoke in the secret santa exchange, but it's not required. If you want to include something other than cigars in your bomb you're welcome to do so, just please meet the $25 value in cigars first and foremost.
When will it start:
January 1, 2018
When will it end:
December 31, 2018
Anything Else?:
Yes. Please make sure to leave feedback for your bday bomber and please make sure to post a picture of your opened gift on this thread so all of us sitting at the birthday party table can be wondering why it can't be OUR birthday. :drool:

nice going guys!!! During my 20's I didn't really appreciate birthdays, but now at the ripe old age of 33 and having 2 kids of my own, I have a newfound appreciation for how special birthdays are. Nothing like getting some great cigars in the mail to make the day even better. This was a really great idea
Happy Birthday!
David (Deener27), Sorry for the delay on this. 26 day road trip to California and back. Amazing time for sure. I was afraid someone might break into the house while we were gone but luckily there was nothing left of the house after the this birthday bomb when we arrived!!
Thank you so much for the cigars. They all look amazing and 4 of them I've never tried before so I completely look forward to it.
Thanks again
Great looking gift.Well done. :thumbsup:
Great selection. Happy Birthday John!

The Padron is a 1964 80th Anniversary...If I remember correctly!
Have been very sick for the last 2 months so my apologies to the geeks on the bday bombs. I would like to say Chuck was extremely generous on my bday. . the wife is posting so she is going to try to download the pictures off my phone due to me basically bed ridden due to my illness. Again my apologies on the tardiness. Thanks Chuck way over the top.

Quick shout out to bstessl. My bday was in very late October, but because I was terribly ill and was also working at a new job, it was hard to get together with him like we used to (several times a month). We finally caught up with one another last night, had some cigars, some drinks, a few good laughs and he bombed me good. Thanks a ton, Brian, for the good time and the great smokes!
:bigthumbs:

Thanks NebNorse! (Erik) for the great B-day bomb!
