Thanks again Emerson!  I have the funds sitting in PayPal and have contacted T4T for their PayPal address since it isn't posted on the site any more.  I'll keep you posted with the correspondence with them.

OK folks - here's an update on the "mystical magical kit #1". Brad (Vroomp) as well as myself have been very busy the last several weeks. He and I have remained in contact several times over the last week on the status of kit 1. It arrived and was opened yesterday - WOW - as usual Brad applied "geek math" and/or never learned how to count accurately plus he threw in several accessory items to keep the sticks company. He never disappoints and he went overboard this time as well. I have a few more busy nightshift rotations before finally having a 3 day weekend off. My intentions are to get pics taken and posted as well as updating with a full stick list over the weekend. THANK YOU BRAD and thanks to all who donated, sponsored or contributed in the 2018 T4T Auction.

I bid on my item primarily because of one word - Nirab.  I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed and that whatever I bid would be richly rewarded.  Even though I knew this going in, I was blown away by what came in the HUGE box.  I laughed as I kept taking things out of the box.  And they kept coming and coming and coming.  More cigars than I can count.  T-shirt.  Ash tray.  Two hats.  Two huge bottles - one mead and one porter.  And more cigars than I can count.  Did I mention that?  I know Brian long ago lost his ability to count.  But this just about left me speechless.  And that don't happen often!

I don't think "satisfied" accurately captures it.  Flabbergasted perhaps.  Blown away perhaps.  Speechless I think I mentioned.  Laughing like a schoolgirl as I kept taking things out of the box.  But satisfied?  That word is inadequate.
