    Christmas was not bad this year. Best present was being able to spend a day with my dad out in the country burying and cementing in a 16ft pole. Worse present was being dumped(If not having her answer my phone calls is called "dumped") by my girlfriend the week following up to Christmas with no real reason

    And Honorable mentions go out to Santa Claus from the UK who sent me some Gentlemans relish and Marmite. I don't know how god invented those things and I never knew about it!!!

    Sorry, I'm certainly not condemning CAOs nor the Perdomos. The Perdomo was a Reserve "Perfecto" that I had smoked before. I thought they tasted a lot like Gurkha Perfectos so I bought a box. I just grabbed one that didn't burn well and was somewhat bitter. The CAO was a little robusto that came in a sampler. Again, I have had some very good CAO's so this was just the luck of the draw. No pun intended.

    Mine was sitting in my room with my roommate. Saying Merry Christmas and looking forward to the New Year.

    I get my gifts when I get home.

    Nothing to be sorry for, I was just curious. I like CAO in general, but have had some bad experiences with some of their sticks........same with Perdomo.

    No bad gifts for me although my wife and I receieved a decorative wooden sign with the family's name on it. A great gift except for they spelled our last name wrong, which is pretty common. We got a good laugh out of it and tried to make sure we didn't make them feel bad for the mistake.

    Some of the better gifts I recieved were an outdoor fire pit thingy and some good swag and cigars from my SS.

    i got some good scotch, a cordless drill, a tool box for the truck, some nice clothes and a few cigars. Christmas was crazy and i didn't really find myself relaxing until we got back on the 30th. My fiance and I put 813 miles on my truck driving from one parents house to another to another. The best part was spending time with my grandpa up in Philly and introducing Heather to him. The worst part was introducing our partens to the concept of sharing time with us on holidays.
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown
