One Great Weekend!
A few months ago, like many BOTL/SOTL, had lost my job. After applying all over the place, I finally landed an interview this past Monday the 13th, getting a call back on Friday the 17th saying they would like me to start on the 20th of April! Of course what is one to do when hearing good news like that in this economy? Smoke 'em up of course! I had a mix up of cigars, starting off with a 5 Vegas Relic, an Oliva Connecticut, a Tatuaje Havana, and one other very special cigar.

I was able to post two excellent cigar reviews this week of the 5 Vegas Relic, and the Tatuaje Havana. Luckily enough this weekend, me and my girlfriend were heading out of town to spend time with her parents on their farm. With the help of Bill (GlockG23) and his great contests he has been hosting, I've been litterally having withdrawls, and craving an Opus X. While driving to their house, I was able to stop by my friends and borrow one of his Opus cigars. Now, if you would have asked me a year ago when I started to smoke if I could nub an Opus, I would have looked at you as if you were crazy! Needless to say, I nubbed it with pride! It was a great celebration cigar to end a very good weekend that was really needed.

At this point, I'd like to thank all the people at puff.com keeping my head up, and help me be positive for the past few difficult months. This Opus is for you!
