I think Heavysmoke is in also.

I can come and smoke one stick......I have collegues over from the UK so most likely I will need to meet up with them later. But I really would like to meet Wilkey and Bonggoy.

I had a blast last night. Too bad I had to leave early. Too all the gang at Delaware, I thank you all.

Three things:
1) Being outside smoking with 2000% humidity and a beat waitress who brings cold drinks once every 45 minutes is not a good combo. (between the heat and humidity, I thought I was gonna have a beetle outbreak!)
2) Do not ever underestimate what the next man has in his cigar case. (i.e the AF BTL shock)
3) Hanging out with BOTLs who truly enjoy cigars really is awesome.

Good meeting all you guys. Should get together again soon. Maybe next time it wont be so damn hot and humid.....

Wow,

It was just a mellow time hanging out with you guys. What a delight. We had guys from three or four different home boards and a few on none but we had plenty of interests in common. Cigars, dogs, women, cigars, cars... :thumbs:

I counted three freight locomotives, numerous Harleys, and a bunch of Detroit muscle tearing it up on the road next to the smoking patio. It was crushingly humid but not too hot. A good night for iced tea, Yeungling and black n tans.

Here are some photos from the cigar table.

Here's yours truly in the pimpin' Havana-man hat, John (Heavysmoke from ClubStogie), and Eric (cabinetsticker from CigarWeekly/VCC) just enjoying the hell out of the night.


Ronnie (Bonggoy from ClubStogie), Chris (RedBaron from ClubStogie), and Tyrone from Cigarette-City. Ronnie's an enthusiastic cigar fan originally from the Phillipines. He doesn't remember "Papayo" and that's a good thing. Tyrone is one dirty, filthy dog. We got along fine.


Here's Ronnie pondering his first smoke. Decisions, decisions.


Steve (Vortex from CigarPass) and Dan (Mr. Wolf from CigarPass) relaxing it up. In this photo Dan is about to light up the thinnest production cigar cigar ever made. It is a special edition Moontrance "Linguinita" which is 4" x 6 rg.

Here is Eric doing the dirty to a Wolters Bolivar Gold Medal. I can now say that my Davidoff cutter has been used to cut the cap off of a Gold Medal. *sigh* I should have asked for the cap so I could've chewed on it.


Who says dreams don't come true at herfs? As Chris was waxing poetic about his hopes and dreams of trying a Fuente Between the Lines some day, Dan dug into his herfing cigar suitcase, pulled one out and handed it over to an incredulous young man. What a guy, Dan! And thanks for the very cool Family Guy shot glasses.


Time just flew by and we wrapped up around 10:30 PM. I hope that we can do this again sometime. I had to scour a few boards to grab enough local guys for the herf, but in the end it was well worth it and fantastic to meet botls from across the cigar forum universe.

Wilkey

BTW, John, I hope you had a chance to get together with your "colleagues."

Thanx again, Wilkey, for the effort organizing the herf and for the trade of cigars between us. The only cigar I brought that I didn't gift was my favorite that nobody was interested in trying - the RyJ Vintage! If you ever get the chance again, it is well worth trying. I still haven't smoked that monster Tyrone gave me. A 60 rg RP Vintage '90 that looks like a feast. I think I'll fire it up today!
