I haven't had one of these in a while - i need to dig into my cooler stash :)

Holy cow!
I had to check that I was on a current thread. I thought I had a warp in time to some distant past.
Welcome back! Hope you hang around for awhile.

Thank you again to chain_gang for putting this together and keeping it going this year.
This has certainly been an educational experience. I’ve learned of many brands either blended by AJ or from the AJF factory that I had no idea. Some unexpectedly. His reach is far and wide.

I may not reach for an AJ for awhile though, but who knows, something else may crop up that he has influence on that I had no idea.

Of the couple new ones I tried, I liked them. The Montecristo 1935 Demi and New World Dorado definitely stuck out. I’ll be getting a box of each very soon.

Thanks for putting this together, and thanks to everyone who participated, and or smoked the rest of us under the table! Lol!

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI had a spreadsheet to post, but I think it didn't save on my laptop [emoji2357] . Eventually, I'll get it up and start the contests.

Thanks again for sponsoring this year, Kevin. Hope to see some more stick action from ya.

[chain_gang]

I started a new spreadsheet yesterday. Must've been offline when doing it originally because it didn't save to my Drive.

Anyways, I'm about 1/3 done; trying to get all the specific cigars (not vitola specific) smoked by each Bum; and a good tally for each. It's probably overkill, but it'd be here for good records to look back on. If (this isn't a request, just an offer) anyone wants the editing link to knock out a portion, I'll gladly share; and if no takers, no biggie. I started from the back end of the thread (most current / working reverse thread order), and left off at Day 20, #2 for Lazylightning; will pick up from there soon. The taker can start from the beginning and we can meet wherever. I'll post the current viewing link soon - just need to transfer it to another account of mine to use for public viewing.
