Glad it's not just me.

I’m tracking a few that made it to my regional usps center then stopped moving. Tracking shows it’s on the way to next destination.

Enjoying my final cigars for a while. I’m having spinal fusion tomorrow and I can’t smoke again until the bones are fused.

Today is a 3 cigar day. I had a PLPC with coffee after breakfast, a RASS after lunch.

After Dinner I’ll have a PL Regalias de Londres, a UK regional from 2009. I only have a few of these left. It’s the best cigar I’ve ever had. I will also burn one of these when I can smoke again.

Enjoy your cigars BOTL!

Enjoy the smokes Jeff. Prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery. How long do the bones take to fuse?

I am likewise will be going without cigars for a while. I contracted Covid last week.

And right on cue my cubans cleared customs over the weekend should arrive tomorrow.

Oh, geez, sorry to hear that! Please take care and a speedy recovery to you.

My surgeon said 4-12 months.

Burned one of these. Next to last stick left from box of 25 Romeo No.1 bought in 2004 when overseas. Will look for the next stash but it won't be these. Gonna try something else. Don't know what yet. As seldom as I enjoy a cigar, it will need to be something that stores and ages well. Thinking maybe Arturo Fuente 858 Natural. I know little to nothing about cigars except I like quality. Suggestions?

Holy CRAP, Messrs. Jeff and Gator!! God speed!!

Thanks ejr.

Hobbs, give Ramon Allones Allones Superior a try.

Thanks Jeff. That looks like one I would really enjoy but I can't find them in stock anywhere and I've checked almost a dozen places online that usually carry them.

Hobbs, send me an email if you want.

Last cigar for a while....

Good luck Jeff! Hope for a speedy recovery. I am fused from L2-S1 with a series of rods amd screws for stability. Done in 94. Keep us posted on your progeess when you are feeling weell enough.

Thanks! I am having L2-S1 done, with screws and rods, along with dead guy bone grafts.

Damn! Hope y'all have a speedy recovery.

I am finally kicking back for the day. Hot made even hotter having to wear a damn mask all day. Made myself a mohito and smoking a La Flor Dominicana chisel tipped double ligero.

Gator, how are you feeling? Kicking covids ass I hope!

Yeah...Mr. Gator and Mr. Yarchin. How yous guys doin'??

Thanks for asking erj. I'm hanging in there making slow progress, about that I expected during the first two weeks after Surgery.

I have some unexpected pain and swelling in my right ankle that I'll be calling the doc's office about today.

Gator, you okay?

Great to see you on the mend, Jeff. I'm smoking this thinking of you....

Gator hasn’t posted since 6/09 when he mentioned his Covid diagnosis. Hope he is ok.
