Todays Haul Plus a Couple Other Things

It's been a while since I bought a large amount of cigars at one time, so I decided to treat myself this week. This is the first package that arrived. It includes a box of Cuabo No. 3 Lanceros, a box of Padron 5000 Maduros, a bundle of 15 Rocky Patel 1992 Vintage 2nd Toros and 10 Rocky Patel Sun Grown Toros. They all look so good. I wanted to smoke one of each of them tonight! Another box came today consisting of various 5-packs that I forgot to take a picture of before playing tetris with them trying to get all of them to fit into proper storage.

Speaking of proper storage. I'm currently in the hunt for a wine chiller for my cigars. A lot of people use these to store their cigars because of the ability to keep a higher constant temperature than refrigerators and they seal air tight. This allows us to use humidification devices, such as beads, to keep the relative humidity at the perfect level to age and store our favorite tobacco products. I found a couple on craigslist for very cheap, but the ones I found were given very bad consumer reviews. So bad to the point where I don't think that ANYONE had one that worked for more than a month. My search continues while in the meantime all the cigars that won't fit into my humidors will be put into tupperware with humidification beads.

Is anyone else really disappointed in MSU's performance last night? It was just plain awful. They had something like 7 turnovers in the first few minutes of the game. I knew that their chances were slim to win this game, but come on. It was a home game for them. Probably the most one sided crowd in the tournaments history. While I applaud MSU for the great tournament run they had, I wish they would have lost to UConn. I think that would have been a much better finals.

I did pretty well on my bracket this year. I came in 2nd place in my pool and lost by one pick(CONGRATS YUN!). One pick. ONE PICK!!!! I'm not upset though. It was a good tournament and I had a great time watching it. Esecially with various side bets making the games way more interesting. The only way I can see this year of basketball ending better is with a CAVS championship!
