Finally just finished wrapping.  Then they wonder why people don't like Christmas.  Anyhoo, hopefully the hard part is over and I get to enjoy the rest of the day.  More hopeful, that the kids don't wake up in an hour and want to open up their gifts.  Merry Christmas everyone and good night.
It seems tough now but enjoy your days with your children while they are still young and you get to enjoy Christmas morning watching them tear through all their gifts in just minutes, they will be grown with families of their own before you know it.

We debated the potatoes between conventional and twice baked went with conventional for simplicity purposes.    Prime rib was 120 degrees rare to medium rare and excellent with some butter & wine sautéed mushrooms.  Now I have just cut a My Father Lancero to enjoy with 64 degrees & sunshine.

They usually have great prices on all the Olivas, but they get even better with the live deals.  Almost always have the Perdomo 10th 5/$20 if you like those.  Not abig fan, but they are a decent breakfast stick.

Anybody still alive out there or did everyone eat themselves to death?
Just floated in with a Padron 64.  Merry Christmas!
Damn  fine catch there, pretty much my favorite cigar.  Merry Christmas.
I get them at field supply when they have them on the live deal list. Sells 5/$40 for the Exclusivo, but regular price is still 5/$43 I think.
That is a deal, have looked at that site but never ordered from them.
They usually have great prices on all the Olivas, but they get even better with the live deals.  Almost always have the Perdomo 10th 5/$20 if you like those.  Not abig fan, but they are a decent breakfast stick.
Not a big Perdomo fan myself but not bad cigars by any means.  I will have to start watching those deals.  Thanks for the tip.

Any thoughts on the Ave Maria...?  I've never had any, but I was looking at the Ave Maria Divina / Ave Maria St. George 10 cigar deal on the ABC's deal.  http://www.cigarsinternational.com/specials/deal/speciala

Evening Dad, I have only had a  couple of them and none recently.  Pretty decent  as I remember but that is about all I can offer.

I was also looking at the Joe's deal of the Drew Estate Undercrown.  I think I've only got one left, and could use a 5 pack.

I even received some cigars for Christmas this year.  Not anything I would buy for myself, but appreciated the effort.

Same here, AFoC.  Wife gave me an AF GR church and a RyJ 1875 tubo that had plume on it.  The latter was a nice smoke.
