My condolences!
Would someone be interested in trading my 10 Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Maduro toros for Patel decades robusto or toro?
I got them from Atlantic cigars :)
Morning! Really? Think those are better than the current Decades IMO.  I have the original PA wrapper Decades (the Edicion Especial newer PA wrapper that also is out), Sumatra and then Habano wrappers on the Decade didn't do it any justice.

Morning fish, how goes it?
Howdy Dave! Up late because I slept until noon.  Convinced there is a ghost in our house now.  Inherited an 1776 family heirloom secretary desk.  Ever since it entered my house Memorial Day last year, we have experienced weird things.  Last night? White light was coming through the door jams in the office where it is.  Thought it was morning sun.  Got up, took a piss, came back out and no light.  Opened the door, turned light on.....nothing out of the ordinary. Computer was off, blinds closed, lamp was unplugged.  It was 3:30am.  About 3 hours of sleep last night, so 6am to noon gave me about 9 hours of broken sleep.  WTF.  How you doing?
Don't know that I believe that stuff, but you gave me a shiver for sure.  Maybe time to put that thing in storage....yikes.  I'm doing OK, travelling as usual, so it's 7:30 AM for me.  Time to start the day.

I love the decades. I dont know why I bought two boxes of the Pepin Maduros. I need self control.

When the wife says "someone breathed into my ear" in broad daylight in the office......TWICE.....skeptics become believers! Also, heard the floor creek just outside the office in this one spot it only creeks upstairs a few months ago.  Won't creek unless someone steps on it.  And I was the only person in the house and was downstairs.  I am certainly a believer now.  Hopefully good family checking in on us.

Would like to take them off your hands, but aging the remaining of my box as they needed a little time.  Maybe 10 or so left.  Don't like the newer versions for the price.  Renaissance is a good alternative, enjoyed those.

Do Pepin cigars age well?

The ones I've had and what I've heard from others show nice aging.

Self control is not a term used often around these parts!

Probably one of the best non-Cuban for aging IMO.

Nope.  But have limited myself so far to $200 since Cigar Fest May 2nd!

Morning, Chip. Thanks for recapping! Did you read what David Oy wrote earlier about fathers & life, and how cool the name Giuseppe is? I thought it was great, and profound.
