It's good to be friends with the Manager of the La Casa shop here. I cannot believe he found these buried away. These were discontinued many many moons ago. They seem somewhat dry and a few damaged wrappers but overall the box is excellent. It's what you would expect from a nearly 15 yr old box of stix and the price was even better. I cannot wait to smoke one of these baby's.

You folks are too much. Just when I thought I could fix the mailbox, Mr Shrek came along with these beauties. Thank you very much. I really appreciate all your generosity.

Not today but I've been sick so I'm just now setting up my new Aillio Bullet R1 V1.5 1 kg coffee roaster. Coffee and cigars pair so well together. Picked it up in Oakland rather than risk shipping damage.

Puts out a lot more smoke, especially when roasting 500 grams to second crack (for seasoning the roaster with coffee oil and cleaning off the manufacturing oils. I haven't heard first or second crack yet, but these are really old greens I'm using for seasoning, so there's that. I need to move my range hood back so I can position it better on the bench while pumping the smoke out of the garage with my 4" vent, but so far I'm pretty happy. Having a trier and being able to do back-to-back roasts is also pretty interesting. I think I'll be going from never having enough coffee to being able to build up some surplus pretty easy, though most people seem to like to warm up the roaster for an hour before starting their first roast for consistency, so that's more time.

Found an undercrown today and picked it up then got my Placencia in today as well. Might be posting again for a few sticks the vherf folks recommended.
Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.

Or, you can use this occasion as a teachable moment - "This is why I need to smoke more each day, and spend less time with you."
And remember, when those wild beasts roar, back away slowly and toss chocolate at them. Give them space and don't make any sudden movements. Once you are out of the immediate area, put distance between you and the beast.
When confronting the beast, do not use phrases like, "You're just like your mother." Or, "Why do you have to be such a biotch about it?" And definitely do not use one particular word that is often referred to as the c word, as that is a trigger word and can result in sudden death.
We hope that these tips will help prevent injury or harm when dealing with these wild animals.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Did you happen to get dates from the boxes?
But no I didn’t I forgot to ask. I’m not planning on smoking any for a long time though, except for one of those 2009 ones on July 25th.
The 2009 Bolivar LE's can be wind tunnels sometimes. Hopefully you got a good one. They are very good if the draw is on.
Haven't had the H. Upmann Mag 48 LE should be excellent though

Let me know what you think of those QDO's I have been smoking the 50's and the 54's. I like the 50's better, but both are excellent smokes.
It's a shame Habano's S.A. has discontinued a lot of the QdO sizes. The Imperiales were a hidden gem IMO.

some of these guys, like Peter, have more inventory than their local BNMs
I'm lucky that my Wife hasn't balked at my cigar purchases, but it's been a bit frosty lately since I used part of my bonus on a new coffee roaster.
