Ahhh Ho Ho Ho! Mike d'Huez, you've been a naughty little child this year. Too hyper from fresh roasted coffee and bicycle riding-ing, no doubt. You must know that I'm not bringing you that custom Pegoretti and plane ticket to ride the Etape du Tour up to your screennamesake. So take off...

Old Santa's gonna have a hard time with you, Alpedhuez55! You have quite a collection and it's going to be pretty tough to surprise you. Santa has a deep bag, though!

Santa has been a busy fat man up here, your goodies are on there way. cx 174 715 594 ca

Oooooh Mikey, tell Santa what you would like.

Oh, it's not nice to leave Santa so few clues. I will have to dig through the archives and find out what you've been smoking in the past. I might let one of my elves do the blending for me and see if we can't come up with a "Rudolph poo" topped latakia mixture. Are you sure there's not a blend...

Hey guys Happy birthday! So what did you smoke today?? :w

HOW COULD U? A man goes on a little vacation to see his parents and help them party on their 40 wedding anniversary and after driving near 11 hours home, he finds no home. I mean nothing! Well as I struggle to find the pieces of my life (such as diapers for the girl) that Mike blew all over...

I am another victim of Mike's carpet bombing. Heres what he sent: A big bag of Perretti British Blend (A favourite of mine, love the perique) A bag of Count Pulaski (Haven't had before, but I have heard alot of good things about it) A bag of Penzance (Really wanted to try it and now I can!)...

Mike wanted to celebrate his 1,000th post - so, he decided to send a pipe bomb to NJ. I am sure that I don't understand why - But, I do know that I am grateful and appreciative - I very pleasant surprise and one that will be very much enjoyed. The Rattray's is on my "must try list" and the...

Mike had noticed that my first good pipe that i purchased was an Ehrlich, so he sent me a little info about the Ehrlich store (which is no longer there) and some of the blends from whats their now (Churchills cigar bar) as well as some blends from another store (LJ Peretti) and an Arlington...

Today I got a package from Alpedhuez55 that was a surprise indeed. He bombed me with about 5 beautiful torpedoes, Jarno Trulli & Michael Schumacher’s Hotwheels, and a vintage metal bicycle water bottle that I have never seen before. We share an affinity for cycling, F1 and of course cigars...

I come home from the herf on Saturday smoked out. I met Alpedhuez55 AKA Slick Mike at the herf. I get home stinking of cigar smoke and take a shower. I am relaxing and all of a sudden I hear BOOM ! This box just explodes on the table and in it is But thats not all. Mike knows golf season is...
