A while back, 24 June 11 to be exact, we were discussing what to do with ISOM's in passes. Thread here for your convenience: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=9513.0
In that thread I innocently made the following comment:
"My approach is to look at the ISOM like my coon dog looks at a biscuit, whimper softly, then dry my tears and send the pass on with the ISOM still in it."
Well, doggone if a few days later I didn't get a box from someplace out in CA from a guy named Dennis. You might theorize what was in the box and you would be right about the theoretical implications thereof. A picture is attached for your perusal and approval. I theorized that, 1) Given a stick with ideal humidity characteristics and 2) a source of ignition, then 3) it is theoretically possible that ignition would occur and smoke would be produced. I was right. The Bolivar supported my hypothesis in fine fashion. I'm sure the other three will do the same.
Although I have expressed my appreciation to Dennis via PM I have been slack in posting pictures. I'll offer the weak excuse that right after I got the sticks I headed up to Camp Perry and when I got back the grandkids came for a visit. However, I have now remedied my sloth and here is the picture. They are nestled snugly up against another pride and joy, a first generation SIG P220 I lovingly restored from its sad state when I bought it.
Since the Bolivar is gone up in smoke I substituted a stunt double in case you didn't notice. :biggrin:
Well done Ken! And a big well done to Dennis!
He also sent a biscuit to Gracie, my coondog. I think I liked my treat better than she liked hers but it was hard to tell since we both slobbered quite a bit.
Wow, way to go Big D!!!!!!!
Enjoy those Ken!
He sent a pistol too??????
:dancing:
That Bolivar looks delicious!
Awesome bomb, Dennis!
You should hand out that Bolivar the next time a friend wants a smoke. Tell them its Cuban...

Plus it's got plenty of fiber and will help you see in the dark...Vitamin A.
Very nice sticks....it is nice to have friends!! :shades:
Very nice Dennis...you da man! :bigthumbs:
Pretty nice but I think the Bolivar maybe a counterfit but you never know these days....... :lmao: :lmao:

Ya think??? The guy had a really nice suitcase there in the alley he was selling them out of so I thought it looked like a good one.
Nice smokes from a fine fella. Good going Dennis. :thumbsup:
Way to go Dennis!
:bigthumbs: to Dennis. I agree with Rich that the Bolivar looks mighty special (and Lubrix agrees too!)
:bigthumbs:
Wow, that's great! The P220 is one of the most reliable weapons out there, and an early number is a treasure for sure. Very nice!
Oh.
We were supposed to talk about the cigars.
I am sure I'm jealous. But it's been so long since I left the North Country where such euphemisms and hypotheticals like twinkles and jewels on the North Pole are allowed to find a spark ...
Well done Dennis. Them's some mighty fine gifts to a mighty fine BOTL.
Lookin' good! I was wondering what that Bolivar was. I thought it was some strange new figurado they came out with :crazy:
x2 :lmao:
Very nice!
Great hit Dennis!

Nothing like fine guns and fine cigars. I also have a first generation West German made SIG P226 as a companion piece. Both shoot extremely well. One or the other is my usual carry gun.
Of course it shoots straight its German made.... :lmao:
Sweet!.
Dennis is a class act (and so is his wife).
Very nice Dennis. Enjoy Ken!
Is that Bolivar the Bugs Bunny version of a theoretical? :biggrin:

Many a boy has dragged those through the muck, sand and salt water, and they just keep on going. Excellent choice for a carry pistol. Though the lack of an express safety freaks some people out, I have always considered my finger to do that job just as well :-)
well done Dennis. :respekt:
Good on ya, Dennis, very generous. :thumbsup:
Very nice! :shades: :bigthumbs: Theoretically I am very impressed.
Nice one very nice
