    Everything looks good, Wimbel is in fine shape and the cigars are as well.

    Thanks craig, much appreciated.

    I'll try to get the p/t's and photo's taken over the weekend and move the pass to Cody44 the first of next week.

    Okey dokey, here are my proposed p/t's:
    T = San Cristobal de la Habano Mercadores - Dec 05 --P= Padron 1926 40yr natural
    T = Cohiba Lancero / P = LG diez small batch #3

    I also pulled one of the La Sirena sticks. Wimbel will make his appearance soon.

    Alright, here is Wimbel meeting my regular herf buddies. They seemed to get along fine!


    Wimbel decided that some investigation of the tobacco patch was in order. He's checking out some Vuelta Abajo here:


    And here he is hiding behind some Frog Eye Orinoco:


    Wimbel said he had a nice conversation with the tobacco. He made his best effort to feel sympathy for them as they bitched about the horrendous wind, hail storms, and torrential rain they had endured. He tried, but it was tough, considering the path he himself had been on recently.

    Here he is checking out the crap in the cigar room. Of course, he praised the reading on my cooler monitor. That reminds me, I should probably look through the damn thing, it's been a few months.

    Stan looks suspicious. Maybe it was just the angle...

    Nope, that's just Stan. He did say something about non-reciprocal butt-sniffing being kinda odd. He liked the squirrel though.

    You're welcome. Please enjoy.

    Given your take, please let me know if you want the SCdlH Merc vBN (eventually, when the box is emptied :-).

    Nice looking Abajo. (I don't know what the other one is supposed to look like.)

    Oh ya, p/ts are awesome. I updated the list a couple days ago and forgot to post the confirmation

    I know, I just didn't want to move the tubos so the whole box could be seen. I'll do better next time!

    Got a slip at my door, looks like the little guy should be unboxed tomorrow. Pictures to come this week as well as puts and takes.

    Well, I just unboxed him here at my place and it looks like the post office treated him very poorly. His nose and mouth are smashed out completely. I'll do my best to repair him up again though before I take pictures.
    (I'll post pictures of the damage they did to him first thing tomorrow.)

    Alright, sorry about the delay. I wanted to post all the pictures at the same time, but here is the picture of him after unwrapping him.



    The pieces of him were stuck down in his belly, but I was able to get everything out. The cigars are fine, and looking good. Thanks again to Badwhale for the La Sirena! I can't wait to enjoy it.

    Here is my proposed puts/takes

    Take --
    LG diez small batch #3
    RyJ #4 2011
    Tatuaje Anarchy

    Put--
    Opus X Perfexion X
    Ashton ESG
    Tatuaje Federal Cigar 90th (7/28/11)
