I just smoked and reviewed a Tat Miami Reserva Series Petite Cazadores Reserva that I got from ThinBlueLine as a bonus with an Oliva sampler.  I know that I'm over the limit, but I thought that I would make the post anyway.  Thanks brother!  Great cigars, great Geek!

The owner of my local B&M claims he is the largest seller of the Leaf by Oscar in Florida. I told him I didn't need to buy any because Vroomp sent me one. He mumbled something about "never meeting a Vroomp he ever liked." My thanks to Brad for sending this maduro toro as part of the OAG PIF and have submitted my review.

Ok guys, only a couple days left, we'll cut this off about Midnight Central Thursday night...on Friday morning when I get around to putting together the list.

All names and cigars will go into a spread sheet, I'll attach and random number to each entry then use the good ole random number generator to a winner. May the odds be ever in your favor!
