I get to go home for a week in September and need to do some cigar sorting.

Can someone PM me his addy? Does anyone know what he likes to smoke?

Good For Him! Happy Birthday, Mr. Overton!

I'm on another board where we donated cigars and had a Texas member go to his house to hand them to him last year. This TX member is a 45 yr old, tall, long-haired, hippie freak, but Mr. Overton openly invited this stranger into his home for a 2 hour long conversation about his war days, showed him lots of pictures and memories, and they enjoyed a cigar together. The brotherhood of this hobby never ceases to amaze me!

Happy 109th Birthday, Mr. Overton! God Bless him.
