Hey guys. Last month my family got rocked by some pretty horrific news. My dad who is 62 years young was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer. I am still trying to get my head around it. It wasn't even until the past few days that I could even really talk about it. Anyway, he is doing as well as can be expected and has started chemo therapy. I believe in the power of prayer and the more prayers the better so if those of you who believe the same could say and extra prayer for my father Norm I'd appreciate it. Norm is a fellow cigar lover. I have been blessed to have shared many a great smoke with my dad.

Also, my sister has signed up for a 5k walk/run to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer research. She is trying to raise $1000 for the event. It is the PurpleStride walk in Raleigh on November 5th. My sister's name is Janette Wilson and you can find her fundraising page here:

Janette Wilson's PurpleStride Page

If you guys can help donations of any amount are appreciated. This disease doesn't leave much room for hope but Dr.s really are working hard to try and change that. Fundraising like this helps fund their research.

Because my dad is a fellow BOTL and always shares his cigars with friends, I want share some of mine. I will raffle off my last 5 Tatuaje Franks and my last 5 of "The Face" to those who donate $25 or more to my sisters efforts. I'll give away 5 2-packs, each with one Frank and one Face. I'll probably find another stick to throw in with them. After all cigars should never travel in groups of less than 3 :)

Thanks guys for the prayers and support.

Thoughts and prayers with your father, your family, and you, brother... All too familiar with how cancer can rock your family and shake your life upside down.
