I really want to thank:

1. My wife - The beautiful Mrs. SmokeyJoe spent the entire afternoon at the Pepin event yesterday. She even took pictures!

2. BryanB - completely blew my doors off yesterday with a BOX of RyJ Habana Reserves. Unbelievable!

3. Empire Cigars (Hal, Dave and the gang) - what an awesome Pepin event! Appreciate all of the BBQ and fixin's, and the prizes! I won TWO - back to back draws!

4. Don Jose' Pepin Garcia - for making such tasty cigars, and spending all day in Raleigh... in 100 degree heat... wearing a long sleeve shirt.

Anybody else have somebody to thank?

Just finished reading from the beginning. Joe, great thread Brother, thank YOU for starting it and continually resurrecting it.

I want to thank the Team Of 11. I havnt been here long but you get a very good sense of the family and inmates on board here real fast. Thank you guys for continuing to moderate, maintain and participate in what you've created.

I'd like to thank all the fellow inmates. Some of you are sick, twisted and uncontrollable. Then there is the handful that are just nice people. Their good too.

I'd like to thank all our Brothers and Sisters in all ranks and all divisions of our military. Your unselfish ways and undying love for our country has allowed all of us here to enjoy our smokes without "real" bombs blowing up our humidors.

I'd like to thank Ramon Cifuentes for creating the Partagas blends of yesteryear. Hey, we all have our favorites!

I suppose I could go on but I think that's good for now...
