How was your Christmas?!

[basil]

Beginning with Christmas, I took 6 days off. I've been trying to find a direction for the interior of my house - painting, decorating, etc. GF and I have worked at it, argued about it, and then stalled out. She has a friend in Austin who does this for a living with new homes mostly. He came up and while I was gone Christmas day, they started in the kitchen. I was back the next day and stayed hooked up with this guy's ideas until I finished yesterday, working about 10 hours each day. The inside of my house is incredible - kitchen, living room, dining room, and main hall are re-done and there's no way I would've tried this on my own. This thing has been hanging for the better part of a year and now except for a few details, it's finished. The goal was to be ready for a couple of parties for my senior who graduates in May, and now we're ready. So, help from a couple of wonderful people providing ideas, and the momentum to finish this project was the best (and unexpected!) present this year.

I don't think I have ever received a "bad" x-mas present. I had a wonderful X-mas this year, filled with family, friends, good drinks and good smokes.... Now, if the casino is just good to me tonite, and our designated driver stays sober it will be another successful holiday season.

Have a SAFE and happy New Year everyone!!

I had a good Christmas with 2 exceptions. A lousy Perdomo and an even worse CAO. I finally got some relief when I broke down and smoked a Fuente GOF. NICE!
Happy New Year

Which Perdomo and CAO?

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!!!

Which Perdomo and CAO?

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.
