Ordered 3oz. $10.45 shipping, I'm a 20 minute drive away but refuse to drive into Boston unless necessary.

Agreed. You would have paid at least $20 to park after fighting the traffic. $10.45 is a deal at that point.

I love those Perdomo Lot 23 Maduros. Among my favorite cigars but watch that packaging. I find it overly humid, almost wet. I recommend you get those cigars into your regular storage to bring the humidity to a more normal level. They will burn better than straight out of that packaging.

I usually try to give everything I get especially the samplers and singles 2 or so weeks before I will tap into them. Sometimes im just too impatient with my boxes though. Up until pretty recently I thought that was the norm.

What he’s talking about is that bag the Perdomo came in. A lot of those bags have a built in humidity gel that just saturates cigars. I wouldn’t leave them in that bag long.

Re: Hows your Weather?

Cold with a dusting of snow, supposed to get colder as the week goes on. Need to double check the well house heaters.

Hey fellas, it has been way too long since I've been back on here for more than a minute. Sorry to hear about some of y'all going through some tough times and excited for those who are going through some celebrations.

The new job that I got a few years ago has been great but has been taking alot more of my time and now that the kiddos are older and into sports/activities, I've found myself with less time to enjoy cigars.

Some exciting news, my wife is pregnant with our third boy, due in mid January. But, that's not why I'm here.

I was pretty recently diagnosed with a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and have already started heavy chemo treatments, will be doing those probably through April, then we'll see if it kills all of the cancer. Found it through some random symptoms that had me do some CT scans. Had a friend this year find thyroid cancer through a random scan. GO GET SCANNED. But, also not why I'm here.

Could definitely use some prayer, specifically for my wife, but for our whole family just to manage. We're thankful that we've got some family and good friends close to us and already helping out.

But, with all the hubub and being away from the forum I figure it's time for me to run a contest.

Easy to play, just guess the actual date that I got diagnosed. Yes, it's morbid, but it's my contest. Just post the date in a comment on this post. If you post multiple dates, your latest (chronological forum) post will be counted as your guess.

Contest is only open until 11:59 EST 7 December.

Winners get forum fivers. Promise you won't be disappointed.
