Here they are, I had to stay sober to take these. We all had a great time. It was finally nice to put faces with names. I got to meet Wolf, Thor, Alex, Justin (quagmire), the lovely Maduro Mistress and all the friends and relative that came. More thoughts and stories to come.

This is Thor's Dad with Thor and Wolf.

Wish I could have made it. Been playing phone tag with Maduro Mistress to get the full story...

Looks like a fine time, sorry I missed out.
 
Great to see Maduro Mistress. I just joined up over at Cigar Wise to say hello to some old friends. It seems as though some e-mail addresses are no longer any good, and to keep up I had to join over there. Not going anywhere, still Blond(e) By Popular Demand over here at Amback, but wanted to reach out to some people.

With Capt's wife, he doesn't need to post pictures of Rachael Ray or anyone else. And to go with his movie star looks, Thor knows the trendy place to keep the sunglasses. Ahhhhhh, I was young once!!! Unfortunately, I was just YOUNG, good looks were never part of the picture. :mrgreen:
 
wanted to come so bad, but at least i get to see pics. now you lazy bums need to come to the SC sit down so i can meet you there. Thor, quit buying those fancy clothes and buy a plane ticket down here for the sit down!
 
Well I'm definately sorry I missed the fun folks, but we had business to take care of here in Maryland. Everyone looks like they had a good time though, and that's important! Cappy, you are quite a lucky man, your wife is a very beautiful woman. Oh ya, wolf look like he was taking some fashion advice from Thor!!! Good to see all enjoying good smokes, I'm around, just busy these days so not as vocal as I have been...

Regards,
Paul
 
I had a blast and it was great to see everyone. I think cigars outnumbered attendees about 20 to 1 so everyone went home with some fresh smokes. :lol:
 
Mac, I cannot thank you enough for all of your help this weekend. Thanks for the parking and for the smokes. I hope I can repay you in food when you get here for the hunt. :lol:
 
This is one of the last spics I have.

Me and the Macallan:

At last, here is the one you've all been waiting for...THE SPREAD.

There be Sol Cubano maduros, Danli Reserve, Cusano C10 Robustos, Carlos Torano Exodus 1959, Diplomas, 11/18s, and the sought after El Cobres out in front...the lighters worked ok at first, but then they stopped...working. While mine was working I told Thor he'd have to ship me one, since I couldn't take it on the plane, but then it stopped working so I told him to forget about it.


I came home with more cigars than I took...sadly, I only got 3 Camachos...a Diploma and two of the 11/18s.

rdesantos showed up with his girlfriend too...cool guy. No pics of him tho. I chilled out with him for a while after everybody else left, then they gave me a ride to Ryan's hotel so I could get my bag and go to my own hotel.
