... but only in the nicest and most generous way!
No note inside, but I know it’s from our Lee because on Tuesday he’d vowed revenge for some perceived transgression or other, and anyway that whopping great 200g tin of Uncle Joes Mint Balls has Wigan written all over it in great big letters. And of course, because I’m from down South (anything above White Hart Lane or the Emirates is North to me), Lee thinks I’m soft in the head, and wouldn’t suss that the cuddly-printer toy is his company mascot ....not that the legend Cartridge World printed on the back was in any way a dead give-away! As from today he’s called Cyril, and he’s standing on the empty 25 Magicos box on my desk. But not for long I imagin, the grandkids will be up in a couple o’ weeks — they’re only nippers — an’ they’ll love him!
And, not one for doing things by half, Lee’s also gone and loaded his parcel with a fistful or two of fabulous puros, including a brace of Tatuaje. Cigars I had only ever heard great things about, know aren’t the easiest to come by and always thought a little out of my league. To be given these, along with all these other great cigars and to describe Lee’s generosity can be summed only with one word — quoting Alan Hanson — Magnificent!
I’ve learned a lesson from my previous picture efforts and now take the cello off NC’s before shooting. But for anyone who can’t make out the bands, the cigars are from left to right:-
Mounteristo Sublimes EL 2008
Punch Churchill
Tatuaje P3 Toro
Tatuaje Havana VI Torpedo
Don Pepin Garcia My Father Le Bijou 1922 Petit Robusto Habana Oscuro
NUB Habano
2 x Saint Luis Rey Pequenos
Man ‘O’ War Virtue Corona
5 Vegas Cask Strength Toro
So all I can say is Thanks Again Lee! Everything you’ve sent is a treat to be savored and I’m looking forward to smoking each and every one ..... and scoffin’ all the mints of course .... an' for anyone who don't know ..... them Uncle Joe's are reckoned the best there is!
PS. This doesn’t mean you’re forgiven.
