Woke up this afternoon to find the package from @GoingPostal had arrived. He went way above and beyond, and I kind of feel bad for only sending him the small handful of cigars I managed to send. :disappoin

Just blown away.. I'm a huge lancero fan, and he sent me four I've never tried so really looking forward to those. Absolutely love the Epernay line as well, so can't wait to get to that one. BOTL editions from PDR and Drew Estate.. Pepin Cuban Classic..everything looks awesome. No idea what the two unbanded cigars are, so maybe he can shed some light?



But wait, that's not all! Look what's behind door number two! :
He also snuck in a sampler of Habanos, to which I am very greatful. I have limited experience with these, and welcome any chance I can to learn more when it arrives. Actually looking forward to the Fonseca - flavor profile I saw while reading up on the ones I received sounded pretty interesting.

There's more..hit me with a ring gauge chart, some cigar journals he made up for review notes and a V-Cut. I've been eyeing grabbing a Xikar one, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Will give this one a go and see how I like it. Not pictured, but he sent me a bag of bands to label cigars with, another big thanks. Will help me date the ones I have without cello - writing on the wrapper in sharpie didn't turn out so good. :crosseyed :rolling:

You had it coming, noob posts 3 reviews in his first month. I felt that required something special. As to unbanded One a petite tat. Reserva and other new orleans cigar factory house stick, sold instore only.

Be careful of those habanos got em from a co-workers sister who's exhusband's mother babysits for a guy who's cousin works at the factory. I was promised they were authentic coworker has a cuban accent so has to be legit

Bigbill72 dropped a nice bomb today! We're moving in 2 weeks so I'm not going to bother repairing the mailbox, let the next tenant reconstruct it :)

I'm not even sure what half of these even are!

I hope you enjoy 'em brother. That Monte is from 2009. The Dip is from this year and might need a little time. And don't sleep on that Tantrum -- very good smoke IMO.

Welcome to BOTL!
