In all seriousness, [SIZE="5"]Thank you Joe D!! [/SIZE]

As far as Cubans go, I had a $20 Cohiba that knocked me for a loop 4 or 5 years ago on the streets of Victoria BC Canada. I consider it the best cigar I have ever had, even though I had to find a seat on a planter next to the street while my concerned wife continued shopping in the little stores.

JoeD, anyone that can cause someone else to open the flood gates so wide as Lance has just done must not only be very generous person, but also be a person of remarkable character. I notice that we have more than an interest in cigars in common. Not only do we share an interest in dogs, I too have a shotgun collection that I started while in Junior High.
I also noticed your RG. Anyone who rates 1 RG for every 2 posts in the Jungle, obviously holds the well earned respect of his fellow Gorilla's.

Thank You JoeD for all that you have done for the Jungle. I hope we will meet someday and burn a few.

A little about myself.
My name is Ken, I'm 45 and have been married to the same Lady and held a job with the same company for nearly half of my life. I have 2 kids with the oldest now in college, (Boy is that exspensive now) and we live in the country about 25-30 minutes from Tacoma, Washington.

Other than my wife and kids, my interests include cigars, a love for the outdoors, making beer, guns, hot cars, (I'm building a blown, fuel injected, 6 speed, 68 fastback Mustang and if I can talk my wife into it, I will also be buying a nice 69 Camaro with a hot 327ci I built for a friend.) Really I cannot fit all of my interests here because I like to experience everything.

I bought my first truck when I was in 5th grade and have worked on mine and my friends cars ever since.

Between the wife and kids our place is a rescue home for what seems like any animal that comes around. Not just dogs and cats, but rats, guinea pigs, guinea hens, hamsters, chickens, turkeys, parrots, horses, a 3 foot iguana and I'm sure I have left some out. Oh yeah, for the person that had the problem with the black snake, my wife wants it

I guess thats about all I can say without boring everyone.

Again I want to give a big thanks to Lance and JoeD.

Have a great day.
Ken

Welp, we have chosen this as the winning post. Various reasons, none of which were scientific, or would make logical sense. Cangratulations Ken!

[HarryCulo]

To the victor go the spoils, Cogratulations Ken!! Enjoy those sweet puppies.

Lance, great contest. Again, very thoughtful. [SIZE="1"]and I will steal your idea one day[/SIZE]

JoeD, you da man!! You've earned a lot of respect from the jungle, and plenty of love. You deserve it.

I am truly humbled.

I really do not know what to say. One day while looking for information on cigars, I stumbled on the Jungle and decided to check it out. I was intrigued by what I saw, and to be honest, I am embarrassed to say that I thought everything was to good to be true.

I decided to join the Jungle and continued to read and learn things about cigars that I had never heard about, but even more important, I found through threads and PM's that the people here are genuine. They really are. You do not need to dig very far into the threads to see the friendships that abound here and even more impressive is that it takes little effort to be welcomed into the circle.

I really hope that someday I will become a valuable asset to the Jungle. I really want to give more to the people and site than I recieve.

Lance, JoeD, and the rest of the Jungle, I cannot thank you all enough.

[SIZE="7"]THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND[/SIZE].

I may need to remove the cigars in my humidor and put them in my coolerdor because these gems deserve a home of their own.

Thanks again to Lance, JoeD and the Jungle.
Ken

Ken, as one of your competitors on this contest, I have to say...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

While I would have liked to have won, I know that the sticks are going to a very deserving new BOTL. Those sticks will send you down a very slippery slope, so be ready! Rather than cry over lost sticks, I smoked a Romeo Y Julieta Cedros Deluxe #2 in celebration of your victory! Please post reviews on some of the ones you are getting - I am looking forward to it!

Thank you for the kind words.

I thought I had already gone down the slope and was in the abyss, boy was I wrong.

I want to add apology to Lance's Girlfriend.
I just want to say that I am sorry for not thanking you, for helping Lance with this contest.

[SIZE="4"]Thank You[/SIZE]
