So 7 or 8 yrs ago I was into cigars and starting to get into pipes. Had quite the NC collection and was starting to dabble into CC. Life happened, my son was born and I started chasing oil work across the country. Before we left Cali we sold all the pipe stuff and all the NC. Packed the CC in a wineador with a couple pounds of beads. So about a month ago I cracked open the wineador for the first time in 6yrs. Great cigar aroma, but the beads were solid white and some heavy wrapper damage to the loose sticks on trays. I am now back full force and am slowly bring my stock back to life and enjoying the hobby all over again. And don't worry, I am keeping this stock separate and would never use it in a PIF/MAW/bomb/whatever. Just glad to be back in the game! Side note I smoked an 08' Punch Petit Punch last night that was killer. So they were salvageable, maybe just lost a lil flavor potential. Anyways greetings from Monahans, Texas!
