Packages from Castle Crest and DocBarry. . . .

Last night I returned home just before 2300 hours to find a small box from Castle Crest, containing four cigars, a cutter that will cut up to a 56 ring gauge cigar, and a little over five and one quarter ounces of his home roasted . . .

OOPS, gotta stay on topic, for the answer to that last one check the Coffee and Tea forum. :wink:

As for the cigars, there was a robusto sized Cuban with a candela wrapper, :mrgreen: :cheerschug: and three long, thin Cuba Aliados cigars. Many thanks to Castle Crest and his household. Ummmm, I mean houseboat. :wink:

And today I received an envelope from DocBarry, containing an It's A Girl! Cuesta-Rey Centenario Aristocrat in a glass tube, a large cigar on the order of a double corona. Congratulations to the good doctor for becoming a Grandpappy again, and many thanks for the fine cigar.

With these two gifts and the shipment of Hemingway Classics and Savinelli Nicaraguan Reserve Churchills the other day, all four desk tops are brimming with cigars again. Unfortunately, they're not really brimming with humidity, because it's that dry time of year, so I have "water dishes" in three of them

Yes, I know what you mean about those little warriors, but thankfully, only an old goat who is like a Felix Unger and a Hippocat lives here, and also a well confined Burmese Python. The Hippocat can't jump up to where Desk Tops I, II and IV are, and whenever she passes Desk Top III on the coffee table, she just seems to ignore it. Strange, because she likes to rub her face against the corners of furniture and stuff like that. Desk Top III rarely needs a dish of water anyway. These "dishes" are actually quite wide and flat, and as long as they're not filled to to the top, actually can't be tipped over, although if something did hit the humidor hard it could cause the water to fly out and wet the cigars. Thankfully, I don't need them all the time, just part of the time during the six cooler months of the year.

Welcome Doc. Always good to see you, no matter where. Earlier today I already sent you an e-mail advising you of my new e-mail address, new home phone and current legal situation involving my house. I'll hope to see you soon, and yes, I love those cigars. As you know, they're a consummate Girly Man Special, and I have a fondness for Girly Man Cigars, and a low tolerance for those hard hitting Manly Man Cigars that guys like you smoke.

The cigar is currently aging in Desk Top III for a special day. Well, like Vince says, every day is special, and he's right.

Not sure what the other site is, but there's only one DocBarry. It probably is him.
