Johnny proposed a trade with me because I showed interest in trying and Opus X because I had no idea what all the fuss was about.

Anyway, the deal was one Opus for one Padron 1964 Aniversary.

Well, I decided that he was being very generous so I threw in a couple of other sticks, that I thought were pretty decent and that I actually enjoy very much.

I PM'd him and said I was including a little something extra in my package to him.

Well, today I get a box in the mail and when I opened it I was shocked by how generous Johnny was. In fact I called him on the phone to thank him, interupting one of his classes in the proccess, and had a very nice but short talk with a great BOTL. I had to call him to thank him because of this.

My jaw hit the floor and I wanted to thank him personally over the phone rather than just an impersonal PM or email.

Here's to you JohnnyFlake

I need to try an Opus X sometime.

Very nice. Enjoy that Opus. Age it if you can. If not, eat a big meal before.

nice on the opus x thats my next investment cant wait

Guys, that's the thing I forgot to mention. The Opus already has some age on it. I'm not looking at it right now but on the back is the date when he acquired it and if memory serves, the date is June 2006. So it's already got some age on it.

I do want to add though that he's a really nice guy and I really enjoyed talking to him on the phone. Just an all around good guy and great BOTL.

Your right on about him. We have done "business" a couple of times + the troops thing and he is one generous BOTL!!

Not only is he generous but he's an honestly nice guy. The type of guy you want to spend a nights worth of Herfing and talking about whatever.

Yeah, my jaw hit the floor. I certainly made out better on this deal and I think that one of these days I'm going to have to thank him properly

Meanwhile I think I'll do my best to PIF when an oppertunity presents itself. I've already been doing that a little bit in the past but he really got me good with this one.

I completely agree, they don't make them any better than JohnnyFlake.

My jaw is still on the ground. What makes it so special (Gift Wize) is that I wouldn't have bought those cigars for myself because they are cost prohibitive.

Despite that, he's a really nice man and I hope I will one day be in his circle of friends.
