Well, as you have already heard, I just got back from a great weekend. I had a great time. Wish you had all been there. It was fun. Mark, Michael, and Bryan are three fine fellows. It was nice getting to know each of them better. I'd like to thank them all for coming. Except for the Tacoma Rainiers not playing as well as we could have hoped, I could not have asked for a better weekend.
We started off the festivities with the exchanging of the cigars. We all had cigars for each other. If my count is right, over the weekend, 91 cigars changed hands between the 4 of us.
Mark brought some very tasty pulled pork. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of it. It was great. He also brought us each a Panacea for us all to try together. In addition he bombed all of us. Another cool thing Mark did was he brought us power line insulators that work great as cigar holders and look cool.
Michael brought me a Camacho 5 pack for hosting. I like Camacho. He gave us all an Alec Bradley Tempest and brought a box with a variety of cigars that he freely shared with all of us. I smoked three out of the box and he let me take two more for later. In addition he brought me my winnings from the contest he held a couple of months ago.
Bryan brought a bomb for all of us. He also brought the beverages. One of the cool things he did was located some Olympia Beer. I had not had one in about 20 years. They closed the brewery in Olympia and it is not made or sold there anymore.
We started off with a little conversation, had a great lunch and got down to a couple cigars. We had a little more food and then, sadly, Mark had to leave us. Michael, Bryan, and I then headed off to the Tacoma Rainiers game. They lost 14 to 5. It was still a fun game to watch. After we got back to the house we had a little more food. Then Bryan and I headed out for another cigar. This morning, after breakfast, Michael, Bryan, and I headed back out for one last cigar. Great weekend.
