Is this real life? No really, who does this? Watching this bombing run unfold has been amazing, but even seeing the first 9 targets get obliterated didn't even remotely prepare me for what I just went through. I opened the box about an hour ago and I'm still in disbelief. Royln, thank you very much for even thinking of me much less for the ridiculous gifts I'm about to show all of you. I'm truly touched. First off, the note and the ticket stub that inspired all of this.
Because sending 30 cigars isn't enough, I'll start with the accessories. I've wanted a Xikar EX (soft flame) for a long time now. For whatever reason, I just never got around to picking one up. If you had asked me what one cigar accessory I wanted most, it was this exact lighter. Additionally, the On the Rock Glass looks super awesome and I can't wait to test drive it in the next couple days!
I could stop right there and this would qualify as one of the greatest gifts ever, but no. There is the matter of a few cigars. Obviously, there would be some Pepin goodness mixed in, but also a very nice showing from EPC. Yeah, that's an Edicion Inaugural 2009 on the end.
Next grouping, where to start? The latest offering from Room101? La Palina Goldie or Alison? My goodness, where else does a Padron 64 just get lost in the array of awesomeness?
Last ten. Some AJ favorites, a couple from Crowned Heads that I haven't tried yet, a couple Viajes that I really wanted to try, and oh yeah, The Lost City.
In case the individual pictures didn't make you completely jelly, here's a pic of the complete spread. This is just sick.
Thanks again Royln. This was way over the top. I know you said no paybacks, but this is going to be hard to just take sitting down. You better not slip up and let your guard down. I will be looking for my opportunity....

Noticed this ended up as the last post on the previous page. This isn't a bottom of the page kind of post, so I thought I'd bump it to the next.
This whole thing has been incredible to see unfold. Definitely very generous and very bad ass. Feel the same way about that EX lighter too. I keep eyeing it every time I look at stuff but have never pulled the trigger.

Hmm. Now that his stash is depleted, he is pretty harmless. We will need to devise a plan.
