First off I just want to apologize to u/Tommydphoto. This should have been done a very long time ago. Work and life got in the way a bit, but I still shouldn't have put this off for so long.
I also want to say WOW!!!!! I am blown away by this. I haven't had any of these cigars before and am very excited to try them out. I am honored to have been paired with such a great guy and receive such awesome sticks.
The sticks:
- Don Diego Privada #4
- Uncharted
- Black Abyss
- Master Blend 3
- Brickhouse Fumas
- Arganese CL3
- Rockey Patel Vintage 1999 Conneticut
- Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur
- Ether (Flux I believe)
- Padilla Single Batch Perfecto
Story Time
So Tom and I matched up sometime in December. I remember how excited I was to join the community and couldn't wait to start the trade. What I had failed to realize was how hard it was to find even decent cigars in South Korea. After not being able to find a shop I just decide it would be better to just order a few online and have them shipped. I also didn't think about how long shipping can take. By the time Tom sends his cigars to me I had already started a month long training mission and was told I would not be able to receive mail. I was totally bummed about this because I was hoping to at least have one during some off time. After about a week or so I found out my cigars have finally arrived, and we have a mail room set up. With everything going on I figure I may as well keep them safe in the mail room so they don't get destroyed and I didn't have any of my smoking supplies, and I wanted to enjoy them as they should be. Around week 2 of us being out there, our mail room had to be moved into a meat refrigerator due to lack of space. Once I heard the news I decided to pick them up and keep them in my footlocker because I wasn't sure about leaving my precious cigars in a freezer for 3 more weeks. The entire time I was out there all I was thinking about was getting back to my room, taking a shower and change into my sweats, and then smoke. I was very tempted to just smoke one out there, but I knew they would be much more enjoyable when I was relaxed and had all the time in the world. I have to say it was very worth it. I had the Excalibur the other night and it was amazing - incredibly smooth. I can't wait to enjoy all of the others too!!
So u/tommydphoto, Not only do I apologize for not making this post sooner, but I thank you for some awesome cigars.
