I walked into the house today after a particularly grueling day at the brewery to find not one, but three packages sitting on the kitchen table for me. I opened the first, and was pleased that it contained the soldering irons I had won on Ebay last week. Hooray for that. The second came direct from London, and contained my samples of a number of Geo F. Trumper shaving creams (for another hobby, wetshaving). Again, hooray, makes the day that much better knowing that I can look forward to a great shave after my shower. I get to the third package, which is postmarked from...Boston. Oh no. I know only three people in Boston, and the name on the return address lets me know exactly who the package is from. Bracing myself, I tear open the well-taped exterior of the box and...BOOM! The kitchen is leveled by the atomic blast from a certain Darkninja.
(sorry about the crappy quality)
I'm floored once again by the generosity of brothers of the leaf. There are a lot of sticks in here that I've been wanting to try (or retry), but hadn't gotten around to yet. The Joya de Nicaragua's are looking very delicious. The addition of the Opus X and a Masterblends III are jawdropping. The Torano is one I've not had before, and am looking forward to with bated breath. And, there's one I've heard mention of, but never really paid much attention, the Fuente Viejo, which Looks great through the celo.
Darkninja, thanks so much for the bomb. My grandmother's kitchen doesn't appreciate it as much as I do, but you've supplied me with a lot of smoking pleasure to come through the next few weeks. I hope that I can return the favor sometime soon!
On another front, I still haven't figured out who bombed me before, though I have suspicions due to some members' comments. You will be found. Make no mistake.
Cheers all!
