You definitely won the "who gets their cigars fastest contest" but I suspect you're geographically a whole lot closer to Will than I am too so that should make a difference.

I'm betting Will got your MO/cheque (yeah, that's the correct 'Canadian' spelling.........lol) before mine too.

Got that check way before. Craig's logistics were slightly different for this split, however...

Curt, I'm probably not going to get yours out until tomorrow.

No worries, I still have some Robusto's and a couple Londres left from the last two splits you did with Padron's. In fact, I had a 3000 Maduro yesterday afternoon while sitting in the sun sipping sweat tea.

A first-class letter will take two days longer to get to Will from you, perhaps three days. The only thing faster is overnight courier (the expensive kind) as documents clear Customs immediately (as does first class postal letter mail ...)

I smoked a 3000 natty last night. Good, but fresh. I have to smoke a few more this week to get under the new $800 limit. When I get back home, they're going into a humidor to sleep until the fall, at least. Box date (both Mad and Nat) is April 2012.

Off to March Air Field museum today, Russian sub tomorrow. Hope to get onto a rental pistol range (may not be possible in CA, but we don't want to drive to Nevada).

Yeah, I'm going to swap to checks I'm thinking. That last Postal Money order cost me something stupid like $15 and I'd rather not give them that money......lol. I think I'll call RBC today and see about some USD checks. Since RBC is in the US too and if the checks specify USD then they should clear quickly.

My wife, and I, are drooling over the new $800 limit. It used to be you had to spend a week to get $750. Now it's 48 hours and you can have $800. I can foresee a long weekend trip to Montana in my near future. I best start spec'ing out some cigar stores near Kalispell or Missoula.........LOL

Craig, if you ever want to shoot pistol's, come visit me. I'd be happy to take you to the range amd let you shoot mine. If my good friend and hunting partner is around, he'd come too and he has a few as well and I know he'd love to let you shoot his too.

It's an outdoor range so you'ld want to only come during spring/summer/fall.........lol
