joed (Joe) is one of the nicest and most giving BOTLS you could ever meet, and I find it shocking that his Ring Gauge is 6000 and not 60,000! I have had the pleasure of herfing with Joe a couple times, and won't consider 2008 to be complete until I herf with him again. Congrats on the well...

Yesterday joed was gracious enough to invite a few of us over to his place to watch the Giants/Cowboys game. And let me tell you, the herf that insued was EPIC, even by Jersey standards. Even Trooper was super excited! Here is a pic of just one of our passes: A Dunhill Estupendo, Dunhill...

I asked Joe about a tobacco that he reviewed in the "review room"....a few days later guess what shows up in my mailbox???? Thanks Joe! BTW: Look for something coming your way Friday/Saturday!

Seems Joed doesnt like sending boxes out alone. I received a very generous box from good ol' Joe yesterday. Pictures could not do this justice. Joe, I truly appreciate the thought, and the further need of pushing me down the pipe slope. You are one of the good ones......:tu.

So, I'm talkin' to Joed a little over a week ago. I've got a couple questions for him and then he starts in with questions of his own... "Have you tried this? What about this? Or this?" Well, you know where this leads... Joe is up to his extremely generous, but totally unsafe, bombing tricks...

3500+RG that is !! Congrats Joe on going over. Glad I got to do it for ya !!

And that might not be an exaggeration after this weekend! :ss But truth be told, Joe passed the 3200 RG Milestone tonight, and it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Joe, I'm glad we got some quality time in at the SHIII, and look forward to the next time we can smoke some chitty old cigars. :)

to both of you, happy b-day.

I am looking for some assistance in giving Raisin and joed some pay back. These two monkeys have been giving me the smack down every time I see them, let me not forget joed's virtual B-Day party last year, his B-day is soon as well. I am talking about treats from the 60's, 70's and 80's that...

Joe is one of the most generous gorillas around and one of the quietest so you never see him comin'. Joe, you're the best and congrats on 2400. Glad to know ya.

Wow!! 1800.....well-deserved...and thanks!! :tu

I left the house once on Saturday, before the mail came. Then, this cold rainy Sunday a BOTL pm'd to ask if some cigars he returned had arrived (my goof - sorry bro). I didn't really want to go out and check but I did - the cigars were back. And then there was another box... Jeepers Joe - you...

JoeD, one of my Mahogany HERF buddies got ahold of my current fondness for Charatan pipes. True to his character, out of nowhere, he sent me a nice starter package. The package includes: 2 x Charatan pipes (one of them is a lane-era) 1 x McClelland Arcadia pipe tobacco (never had this one but...

Received a package from JoeD today. I opened it and my jaw dropped...unbelievable gifts!! First is a tin of some vinatge tobacco that I've had my eye on and wanted to try. Second, he gifts me a brand new Ruthenberg! Beautiful blast, beautiful pipe! Joe, I am blown away by your VERY generous...

Having already been a "victim" of Joe's generousity, I glared nervously at the unexpected package with his return address on it. What I found inside was another wonderful and devious step in the assimilation process started by the Borg several days back. Three huge bags of freshly roasted beans...

1400 RG Club !!! Congrats Joe.

you blew up my mailbox! Nothing left but half of the freakin' post, man. How did you go from "sending you a tin of 'baccy to try", to this? You are one of a kind, brother.

Whatever did I do to deserve this, I woke up this afternoon to a nice little package from JoeD, the madman! 3 slot pipe rack, italian pipe tamper, tin of 2006 Christmas Cheer, 8 oz of CAO Da Vinci, and to top it off, an Ashton XXX pipe! Yer a nutball!

...Let me count the 1200 ways! Congrats to Joe for busting the 1200 RG barrier! A gentleman's gentleman, a Gorilla's Gorilla, generous to a fault....the true meaning of BOTL. Thanks for all you do in the Jungle Joe, this place is better for having you in it. :)

scratch that...put out some Bolivars and whiskey
