Last of the day for me! Just filled the bird feeder in anticipation of a snow! Feeder is right next to the awesome birdhouse made by Jim, and gifted to me! He does so much for all of us, and the forum is a better place because of him! So, @Bigshizza , this Crowned Heads Yellow Rose is in your honor! Enjoy your evening on Vherf! Thanks!

Here's to you Jimbo. The first time I met you was on vherf. After saying who I was, you said... oh yeah, you're that new guy from New Orleans, what kind of cigars do you smoke. I listed off a few, and you told me they all sucked. You then said I needed to smoke better cigars. A week or two later my first box of shizz from the great northwest landed... must have been August or September last year. I was like a kid on Xmas I ripped that box open grabbed "a good cigar" and fired it up rott.
Damned if you weren't right. I was smoking crappy cigars. You ruined me brutha and taught me that I really liked viaje and tatuaje along with several others I had not ventured to try. So with today being the day to toast to you my friend, I hauled @$$ to my local b&m and picked up a tat mummy and a 2011 viaje holiday blend to burn and reflect on all the awesomeness you share here with us your botl. On my way home I grabbed a bottle of bourbon to pair them with, and now I'm gonna sit on my porch and fire the first one up.
THIS STICK'S TO YOU JIM. YOUR THE BEST SHIZZ I KNOW!

Danni said if you bother to call us we will come get you, get smashed and fed and bring you back so you can make your gig in the morning... just saying... that offer goes to you too Jimbo!Edna20 said:Thanks @Nolagizmo for participating.

I know, I know!
Ok, time to pour the wine to let it breath some. Yes, I'm very sophisticated. I always let the first glass breath before I drink it...and then I move on to drinking straight from the bottle

Here's to you, @Bigshizza! There are no adequate words to describe what you mean to so many of us here. Your thoughtful generosity is simply legendary, and your heart is bigger than your hit list. May your kindness be returned to you a hundred fold. It is an honor to smoke this in your honor.
P.S. Thanks to @Edna20

Just lit one up from Jim. How does one get such a tasty treat for guessing a cake platter? It has to be one of Jims contest. Thank you for all you do!

May the saints protect you, And sorrow neglect you, And bad luck to the one That doesn't respect you.

Excellent! I'm a little over half way through the cigar. So far, the cigar is excellent. One of those smokes that you know is coming to an end and you just don't want it to! If I had another, I'd probably fire it up as soon as this one was done. The wine, I'm not as sure about. Not the best wine for a cigar maybe. But hey, it's the experience and still fun!Team O'Donnell FTW!2

I'd just like to thank all the peeps that participated. Especially @Edna20
she's a damn cutie! I hope that the packages I've sent over 4 years have put many people in good moods and smiles on their face. I also want to acknowledge those that have helped me: Gibby, June, Mike, Greg, Shawn, Rick and BigFer. Ro and Jerm have turned out to be great friends.4 -

I paired an AVO 88 (From Shizza) with a 2014 Mollydooker Shiraz (which was fantastic).
Most of us are aware of the phenomenon where we always recieve more than we bomb, and I believe it is @Bigshizza alone who makes that possible. Thanks Jim!"Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

Thank you Jim for all that you do. Here's the Shizza smoke for me tonight. You caught me expressing interest and appreciation for these cigars two years ago and the next thing I know you sent me a handful of these. This is smoked and appreciated in your honor.
Cheers Jim.

Wish I could have joined you all. This concert has. R exhausted already and I have another 13 hours today. Thanks Jim for your generosity and your friendship.

Wish I could be a part of V-Herf. Don't have a computer where I smoke. I mostly herf solo as the closest B&M is 40 miles away. So when I have my after supper stick my mind wanders on the events of the day and I think often about this site and the friends I have made on it. Shizz enters my thoughts often. I think about his positive comments,enthusiasm,and his generosity. I also think of how lucky the people are that he is going to help when he becomes a full fledged Social Worker.
So thanks for being you Jim, I'm proud to call you a friend.
P.S. When you graduate we are going to hammer the s--t out of you.8 -
Jim thank you for your kindness and generosity. You are the perfect example of a BOTL.
