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?

Your signature quote has never been more appropriate than it is now

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

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.
