Tag was a gentle game the way we played it when I was a kid...open hands only, shoulders and below...no head or neck shots...and you were sposedta leave gimps like me alone...with one artificial knee and arthritis in the other, I caint run...
Telecaster tagged me...he didn't pull any punches...he smacked me hard upside the head and kicked other sensitive parts...

2) a solid metal 2" x 1" x 1" rectangular block with a 3/8" deep round groove along its length...a cigar stand/holder, monogrammed with my name on one side and my CBid AKA on the other...very nice and classy looking, useful additions to my cigar toy collection.
I really appreciate the variety of strikes, Tele...you obviously have some "shop" skills, as evidenced by your gifts and the hand made guitars in your avatar....thank you very much.
It's gonna take awhile to recover...will ID a target when my head clears... |

Found a box on my doorstep this afternoon. Turns out I've been tagged by Max. I'll get a list up shortly as I survey the scene. At first glance looks like a score for me.
Now who's next
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm |
| 319. Author: delta1 | Date: Mon, 4/1/2024, 4:50PM EST | |
apologies gentlemen, I forgot this was Spring Break week for the grand daughters. I had promised them a trip to San Diego to take in Sea World and the Zoo. Be back Wed night, and will let my tag loose on Thursday, fo/fo/twenny fo...usps # to follow... |

As mentioned above, here are the damages from the MaXD TAG.
First off was a handwritten note that definitely threw me off about the contents. He mentioned the Gurka thread he started and I for sure expected a box of Gurka's at that point. At the very least though it would have been a box of never had's if that was the case. But that was not at all the case. Under the note I found a bag containing a good number of sticks and under that was 2 three packs of a local microbrew.
The beer:
Intuition Ale Works "!-10 West Coast IPA"
Veterans United "Raging Blonde Ale"
These will be enjoyed as early as this evening.
The Sticks.............................13 not Gurka's
AJ Fernandez New World Connecticut Toro - NH
Cohiba Blue Robusto - Had only one, will be nice to revisit
Crowned Heads Juarez Willy Lee(Toro) - Like them a lot, never had this vitola
Espinosa Murcielago Robusto - Like them
La Perla Habana White Pearl Churchill Extra - NH
LFD 1994 Churchill - NH this vitola
My Father La Gran Oferta Toro - Love these
Oliva G Maduro Churchill - NH this Vitola
Padron 7000 - Oddly NH this vitola but loved every other one I've tried
Perdomo Reserve 10th Champagne Toro- NH
Rocky Patel Flor De San Andres Toro - NH
Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Churchill - NH
Romeo y Julieta 1895 Bully Belicoso - NH
Thank you for the wonderful selection. I look forward to spending a lot of time with them.
Whos next..................................................................... |

Glad you like the selection JGRAZ! I was a little nervous about the sticks especially since I consider myself really green when it comes to knowing good from bad... but I'm making a big effort to learn more about what I'm smoking and the difference from these chat discussions.
The Gurkha thread is sort of hilarious if any of you want to check it out. As I said, I dont have a great background and trying to learn more... I've been seeing quite a few people smoking Gurkha's at my local cigar bar so thought I'd get on here and ask about them. Well that thread created a mini $hit storm! hahaha Lots of opinions out there but basically NO ONE has anything good to say about Gurkha so I never bought any. So I guess I got what I wanted when asking for what Gurkha to buy... NONE!🤣 |

Max, well done 👏 and for the record the Gurkha thread was excellent and I learned a lot about brands which is what I’m trying to do right now. There are excellent discussions in that thread. |
| 328. Author: Jakethesnake86 | Date: Tue, 4/2/2024, 6:33PM EST | |
Literally 2-3 weeks ago stopped at a local shpo. Talked to the worker there. He told me he was really into Gurkha as his favorite brand.
It was at that moment…. Grabbed a Caldwell Anastasia and headed out. Glad I didn’t listen to anything he recommended |
