My mailbox took a little damage today, but, the brunt of the problem was absorbed by the mailman...poor poor mailman. Sleeve decided to share some zombie virus with the state of michigan, but, unfortunately didnt blow me up, but, my mailman is a different story. Poor guy was trying to eat some brains, but being the prepared zombie hunter i am, he is no longer. I did not take pics of the carnage, only the package, to save you guys from the mess.
Now James40 decided to hit my hard after a simple trade he asked for. Talk about one uping the trade. Geez, I follow the trade rules once and he blows me up...wont happen again, sorry guys.
And now BigT06 hooked me up with some L40s Ive been searching for. He as well did not follow the rules of our trade and killed me with these awesome sticks. Again, I will not be following any more rules...except for the ones I make...and of course the ones from Zombieland to ensure my survival in the zombie world.
Thanks again to all of your guys. And one of you owes the Postal service an apology for a lost mailcarrier but will probably be thanked by one of those million unemployed people in michigan. Thanks again guys
Didn't get any sticks yesterday or the week, but I did finally get a new job that I've been working on and interviewing for the past month to get! Finally just heard that the 9th will be my last day at Best Buy, and on the 11th I start training for my DISH Technician job with double the pay and hours!!!! YEEEHAW!
Nice! Congrats Brett. Round of rocky mountain oysters on Brett! yea! balls!
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and congrats, it really means a lot! Everything is going to work out well I think, so I'll keep y'all up to date!
On a side note, it looks like I MAY have a second job as well..... Waiting to hear back and get in touch with the Owner/President of the company and it's been a few days, but looking like I may also have my first cigar industry job.... Might be a sales rep for a very small boutique company called Roxor Cigars as well. If it comes to pass, it'll be two new jobs within a 24 hr period One that earns the bread adn provides for the family adn one that gets my foot in the door to my hopeful career path and launches me into what I want to do for a living!

Very cool Brett, keep us posted man I know you've been trying to get your foot in the door almost since you joined up so this is good news man. congrats. Can't get started without taking the first step brother, so keep us posted.
Just got back from The Bahamas today and gonna post a few things that I got both down there and at home while I was gone.
My end of a 5er plus empty box trade with Medic45 (cant wait to try some of these!! Some I have had and LOVE)
My end of the PIF trade with SleevePlz (again, Awesome smokes and definitely looking forward to taste testing!!)
Went to the Graycliff Cigar Factory in The Bahamas and picked up a few things. Got a Heritage cigar, and also took a private rolling lesson and rolled 3 strong cigars myself!
Close up of the Heritage and the 3 hand rolled by me
Was in West Palm Beach too and got these from a place called Angry Moon Cigars
Bought the LG, God of Fire, and the AF Shark, and the owner GAVE me the Opus X Shark. Apparently he has a box of them. Lucky guy!
I had a small order come today but there was a mistake and I recieved a best of 2011 mild sampler when I ordered the medium sampler. I called c.com and they told me just to keep the mild for free and they would be sending the mediums monday. Outstanding customer service if you ask me.
There was an unexpected package in my mailbox as well...
Thank you very much MVW67 for the warm welcome. Now I know I'm going to need a bigger humidor.
Mike, please tell us more about your trip to Graycliff factory. I am very interested. Did you take pictures? Graycliff rolls some good sticks. I have a dedicated humidor just for Graycliff cigars. I used like them a lot.

It was awesome. This was our second time there to tour the factory. There are 16 master torcedors that roll. It was $75 for a 30 minute rolling lesson where they talk about what makes certain leaves good for certain smokes, then they demo how to roll a cigar, then they let you sit at the table and roll, with the help of someone. Heres a pic from the demo the guy gave before I started rolling.
I will make a post with just photos from the trip for everyone to see.
Thanks for sharing and I will wait for the next post. I want to go for a vacation in Graycliff hotel when time permits. They have great wine selection, actually one of the finest in the world. So you make custom made humidor as well. Hmmmm...some idea is brewing up in my head. Do you make replica?

awesome sticks there, after i finished drooling i noticed that there is a medical misspelling on the paper, lol.

Even More awesomeness there, and i cant tell on this screen, but if that is a MOW Special Edition, they are AWESOME!
I stopped at a random B&M yesterday while I was out and about and shockingly found this:
With 11 cigars still inside. To make it even better, they were still marked at the original price!
Wow. I hope you bought all 11...easily the best of the Master Blends.
Yup, got them all and the box. Now I have to decide what to do with them. Trade, sell, or smoke 'em all!
SMOKE!! Helluva score bro, jsut smoked my first last night. You should have that box turned into a clock.
Congrats on the amazing find bro, that is insane! If you do want to make it into a clock message me, happily do it for ya for free so you can enjoy such an awesome find!

Thanks! I'm not sure what I'm going to do just yet. It's funny, I just sent out a few bombs to some forum members that have been blowing me up since I joined. I wish I would have found these a couple days earlier so I could have tossed a couple out into the packages I sent out. Maybe next round.

Great find! I bought 1 about 6 months ago and had to pay $20 for it and didn't get the box

Yeah, I would have paid $20 just to try one as well. I actually had to tell my wife I would sell a handful of them at market value to offset the cost of the purchase. I may be need to slow down my purchasing judging by her tone with this last buy.
