"I needed to make room in my Humidor" he says. The western half of the State of Washington is now cleaned of all life thanks to this Daisy Cutter of a Cigar Bomb from none other than (not only my bestest buddy) but the GREATEST BOTL on Earth, carbonbased_al! This one went FAR beyond generous...

use those gums, joe, use 'em right. thanks for all your contributions to the board. a ballon for you to nibble on. :bl

Check this out - yousay youlike to smoke from a skull shaped pipe - this one has 27 ghost/skulls carved into the face as rustication. Tony's pipes smoke pretty good too! At least in my limited experience http://fillenwarthpipes.com/s%20pipes%20-%202007/s43.htm

I heard or read somewhere that you like Charatan's? :D

As many posts as cigars he has gifted away! Kudo's to Joe on his steady and informative contributions to the community.:tu

Well this week has been an unbelievable one. First Greg (IHT) smacks my with a Tsuge bent brandy and some GH Dark Flake. WOW!!!! Then the mail comes today....KNOCK.....KNOCK....KNOCK..... BOOOOOOOMM!!!!!! Joe (VS) nails me with 7 tins. Rattrays Marlin, Old Gowrie, Hal O the Wynd, 3...

Congrats Joe! Well deserved.

Santa has been looking over his list, and it seems you're right on the edge this year! Wonder what I should wrap up for you...maybe some black vanilla, or perhaps some wild cherry blends. Perhaps I'll smoke a nice English blend and save the ash for you ;)

Well he lies to a lot fo people I guess :) I made a comment about a pipe tobacco he reviewed and he wanted to send me a sampler. I agreed and thanked him. Well I get a knock knock at the door 10 mins ago & there is a box from Joe. I think cool the sample, I'll fire up a bowl this afternoon...

As I am leaving yesterday for the Brewers Herf, I notice a large box sitting on the doorstep. Little did I know the devastation that lay inside. A few days ago I had posted WTB or WTT post for some Taboadas...after the experience I had in Vegas with my first, I felt compelled to make sure I had...

Ok, first off no comments on the title (TOM & DUSTIN!!!), I meant it in a Sopranos kinda way, and no, not in a Johnnycakes kinda way :D . This is contest winnings for answering 3 little questions, but in typical Joe style, he goes way over the top. Here's what he said at the start of the...

Joe got creative with the package he landed in McKinney Texas on Friday. In addition to the MOAB level explosive charge, his latest bomb threw out some depleted uranium INSULTING shrapnel. Witness the Carnage: '91 Davi No. 1 '83 ERDM Panatela Larga (x2) '00 Quinteros (Handmade) (x2) '...

Joe said he would send me a couple of Graycliffs to try and I found this box by my front door that was way too big to house two cigars...I opened it and found a treasure of great cigars,,Diamond Crowns, Padrons, Habana's ,,I wish I had a digital camera to post a picture...13 cigars in all...

Today my mailbox was destroyed by Joe with 22 amazing cigars! This guy is unbelievable! Joe you are truly amazing - thank you bro! Not able to upload a picture as the file is too big.

If you ever get to help Virtualsmitty with a little project - be very careful. I made the mistake of offering to help him with something he is working on and in return he tried to destroy my whole house. Fortunately, I live in a concrete bunker and only suffered minor cosmetic damage. In...

Some of you guys have been bombed by Joe (carbonbased_al) - an experience no one forgets. The guy is generous to the point of ridiculousness. I got bombed by him last year, retaliated with a little over-split on a trade we did, and then he started throwing Sublimes and sh!t my way. I know when...

Paybacks are a MF!!! :bx :r

Let me be the first to say Congrats and thank you for your well respected and knowledgeable addition to the Jungle. Beers are on you. :D Cheers!! Steve

I came home today to a bomb that I'm still reeling from. It seems that Joe decided to drop a mother of a bomb on my doorstep. And was it ever an explosion! I'm talking Trini Reyes, Boli Bonita, RyJ Mille Fleur, Partagas Aristocrat, Graycliff Chateau, and a Hong Kong custom rolled. Joe, you're...

I'm sitting here minding my own business when the doorbell rings. I open the door to a blinding flash of light and intense heat. When I regain my sight and senses, I see the mailman getting into his truck, chuckling at my misfortune as he drives away. At my feet is a box which is very...
