    I got some nice sticks from BigT06 today. He knew I was wanting to try the Obsidian so he sent one along with 5 more, only one of which I've had (the Cusano). Thanks Todd!

    sending stuff to you is fun! 1 day shipping! lol.

    hope you enjoy those brother. That Gurkha is one of the last few I had left from a box purchase early 2008, so it's got some time on it. Nice and smooth now. I know you like maddys, so I threw it in there.

    Enjoy!

    Incredible, simply incredible DD, Love the partagas brand, however have only smoked the Dominican version. I forget DD how many cigars does one have to roll for that distinction?

    Love my neighbor, a real shame she is moving away. She is an older lady and her husband passed sometime ago. He had alot of tools, pressure washer, generator, power tools, and a bunch of assorted stuff. She didnt know what to do with any of it, and his surviving daughter is in her 60s. She didnt want any of it either, so I got to go into his garage and hand pick what I wanted. The week before he passed he purchased a big green egg and tailgater. He loved my BBQ so much that he wanted me to cook him a texas style brisket on his new Big Green Egg for him. The day before he passed he knocked on my door, and I was unable to answer, my wife did. I was out due to my back so I didnt get to cook the brisket that weekend. Sadly he was blowing off his driveway the next morning, sat down to catch his breath, and died on his front lawn. She gave me all his Bbq equipment today so I am having a BBQ on my brand new egg in his honor. Goes to show you be good to thy neighbor. R.I.P Lou you were like a father to me.

    There are 3 levels of Torcedors in Cuba, Level 6, 7, 8 ....level 8 is the top, level 8 roller is one who is sanctioned to do all shapes (Complex Figurados). Most rollers never achieve level 8 even after 20+ years of rolling, there is not an amount of cigars that need to be rolled to advance but rather ability, Hamlet became a master roller in less than 4 years...

    So why don't they call them levels 1,2, 3?

    Hamlet is an amazing roller, and a great friend to a lot of folks in a lot of countries. The one Hamlet I've had was among the best cigars I've had. That's a great score you got there!

    +1 I've got one of the target models. Nothing better than shooting turtles all day for 3 bucks worth of ammo.
