Well Bill (GlockG23) came to Houston this past weekend. Firday I decided there prob is not any vigar I could give him that he hasn't tired or has. So I made one for him. I took a VSG and a Tat West Side and switched the wrappers. I gave him the VSG with the West Side wrapper on it, I have done it before and think it is a great cigar. You will have to ask Bill what he thought of it, he smoked it Saturday night.

The cigars before

VSG

Tat West Side

The cigars after

So Bill got there as I was getting the grill ready, we sat down outside and BSed for a while before Sam (cypress) and Martha (Samsgrl) Showed up. When they did it was time to throw the Baby Back Ribs on the grill.

Also grilled some sausage and chicken breast. Bill past out a GOF and Ashton ESG to me and Sam, nothing better then a live bomb!

I hit him back with a Anejo that had about 19 months age on it, so then he slapped me again with a OpusX. I let him win before it got out of control!

I grabbed some cheap Benchmade Robustos for us to smoke as the food cooked outside and Tiffany and Martha got the sides ready inside.

I didn't get any pics of me and Tiffany, Bill did, maybe he will post them later. So we all ate till we where full then started lighting up as the sun went then. We smoked past midnight and had a great time just BSing about what ever came to mind.

It was great meeting you Bill, can't wait till we get to smoke together again some day!

I gotta see a review on the sticks with the wrappers switched, what an awesome idea? Can you post how you did it and what is required to do this without damaging the intregrity of either cigar?

Looks like a great time! I want my babybackbabybackbabyback LOL.

Side note - do you find the ribs get as tender just throwing them on direct heat like that? I've always done them slower, just curious if there is an easy way!

I thought there used to be a whole sub-forum dedicated to switching wrappers, but I can't find it.

Let me know if you find the forum, I'm interested in playing around with this.

Frank and I do cigar wrapper switching. In fact we have a thread here where Frank explains how to do it under Cigars on the Move and Cigar Switch. We both owe it to Sam Leccia in teaching us how to do it
