Ever wonder what a 22 pound package of cigars looks like?

[DogRockets]

As some of you may have saw on another thread, I recently purchased the entire NC inventory of a fellow bum - 355 cigars! He was generous and packed as many of the boxes as he could with the cigars. The monster weight 22 pounds and arrived yesterday. It took me 2 hours to unpack the box and make sense of it. Here are some shots:

The box was so full it was literally bursting at the seams. I got excited right away because I was purchasing one 2012 Alec Bradley Fine & Rare in this lot and I asked if he still had the box. When I open this package I see that beautiful box sitting right on top!

An initial unpacking of the box basically fills the island at my house. He crammed 8 cigar boxes in there! And those boxes all have cigars in them (except the F&R box). And look at that baby - it's autographed by Alan Rubin, the owner of AB! I know I'm in the minority on this forum, but I love most all AB products and to have this box is a great treasure for me. Plus it took 9 more ziplock baggies to send the rest of the sticks.

Here is an organized shot of the pretty ladies all in a row. He ended up sending 25 more sticks than was even discussed on the original listing.

As anticipated, I had to take these pictures without me in them. Otherwise it would have been a Sean Payton photo all over again.

I'm pumped for the Fine & Rare along with the Camacho Pre-Embargos (never had one) and the Gurkha Private Cellars. As well as the entire freaking full box of Tatuaje Havana VI! Plus there are a lot of others I haven't tried in there too.

Did anyone else get all Sean Payton-y at the sight of this all laid out?

Talk about going out with a bang on that self imposed ban on cigar purchases...

Awesome pickups and thanks for coming through with the pictures

[AlanS]

Get down to Wally World and pick-up a large cooler or two. I know a couple guys on here that could go through those in a week or two! Buisness just picked up for the tax man.

[Sweet Cigars]

You can start your own B & M with that load.

[bluenoser]

Wow nice grab. So is the purchase ban back on?

[AlanS]

That previous self-ban on purchases was effective and lasted almost a full 2 weeks! Yes - it's time for another self-imposed ban to start. I haven't bought anything since last Sunday now (when I paid for this monster). I'm at a week already!

[Nature]

Man, you hit the mother-lode!
Great acquisition. That will last you awhile, huh.? ;)
You shouldn't need to purchase anything again for quite some time.

[GWBowman]

WOW...WOW...did I say WOW

[RenoH414]

That is an awesome pick up!! You scored very well on that one!!

Unfortunately not all cigars made it safely. We did have shipping casualties. they were all shipped without cellophane and some couldn't handle the party that was occurring in the box on the way to my house.

Yeah. I have told him I will do all the labor for free storage. But no dice yet. He is getting weak and is about to cave I think. I guess I should frame it in one weekend just to push things along.
