icehog3: BOTL of the Highest Order

ColdCuts · 09-25-2014, 01:41 PM

I'd been on the lookout for a particular clear Havana that my grandfather used to smoke back when he was still with us, La Prosa. Not an easy thing to find, as you might imagine.

Using the trusty CA search function, I discovered that icehog3 had smoked a La Prosa on New Year's Day 2012. That's a long time ago, but I reached out nonetheless. Well, he didn't have a La Prosa, but he said he'd send me a different clear Havana if I was interested.

As you can see from the pic, he didn't send one like he'd indicated, he didn't send two, Tom sent me THREE clear Havanas!

I was knocked speechless. I wanted to tell everybody that story. And I wanted to say thank you to Tom. That is all.

There will be HONEST reviews forthcoming.

It's true. And there are many others on CA too. Perfect example, nutcracker just sent me a beautiful 10er of cigars complete with a chocolate bar. Really amazing smokes. They arrived yesterday. He refused payment. Told me to enjoy them and feel free to PIF. Neil, if you're reading this, thank you again. You too are a BOTL of the Highest Order.

That made me laugh out loud.

When I was new in the cigar world, I got to try a couple clear Havanas thanks to some of the great BOTLs at Club Stogie. It's a tribute to them and an honor to be able to turn new guys on to them as well. I hope at least one of them smokes well for you, Dave.

Nice work, Tom.
