    Hey guys, I'd like a sponsor I work with user Jarubla (http://forum.cigar.com/profile/jarubla) who does these but we figured I'd find a different sponsor.

    I can vouch for Brent, aka @UseAsDirected -- he will follow through 100% on his side. He and I have done several box splits and he is cognizant of humidification, etc

    Hey @SecretSquirrel, I haven't been into them very long. My uncles in California use to smoke them and I always liked the smell. When I started at my current job @jarubla gave me my first Cigar - an Oliva O :) My favorite so far is my H. Upmann 1844 Reserve

    How about yourself? What is your favorite?

    When I first started out, the first one that really blew my hair back was the Alec Bradley prensado. Since then I've broadened my horizons quite a bit, but it's still one of my favorites. I absolutely love the God of fire series, especially the carlito. Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell :(

    @useasdirected 's package has finally arrived after going on a little detour to Washington after passing through California and back. Maybe it really wanted to see the forests up there, or maybe some snow. Maybe both! Either way, these sticks have ended their journey at their new loving home, my humidor :) thanks Brent! Some nice lookin sticks. Although, I see your math skills have already begun to degenerate since your arrival to the forum.  ;p

    Well, without further ado, here's what this guy sent me

    @SecretSquirrel haha, happy to see they made it safe! I'm going to tell you what I tell my work. The job description did not specify that I had to be literate... I hope you enjoy the sticks ☺

    If I start counting from the left I count 5.  If I start counting from the right I count 5. So  beg to differ, the squirrel is a mathematical genius with almost no equal.

    @useasdirected I noticed you said you enjoyed the Oliva O. Well, then you should definitely enjoy those V's. Apparently they don't make the Melanio maduro in that size or shape anymore.  It's my favorite oliva.  Also included, that Arturo Fuente is a Don carlos, which if you haven't had before, is quite unique. and I think you'll really enjoy that Camacho pre embargo and Ashton vsg. The others are pretty standard sticks that I enjoy, so figured I'd fill the box up. I dont like wasted space :)
