I got the catalog also. I threw it in the trash! I haven't ordered from them in at least 15 years. Even emailed them to stop sending catalogs. I still get them!

After all these years, that is the first Katrina compliment I've seen you post.

15th anniversary coming on 29th. I plan to be both shitfaced and out of pocket that day. I was hoping be at Yellowstone and let it pass. Fucking virus.

EDIT: got too much going on tomorrow to drink. Busy enough to keep me occupied.

Just received my order. Cigars are what they are, packaged well. The lighter and the cutter are forgettable. I'll toss them somewhere are spares. The 32 oz growler is damn nice. Oliva branded (was random), glad it wasn't Gurkha or God forbid Lars Tetans.

CI had a hard time converting to 'remote' working due to covid. Lots of companies like that did. One of our suppliers for our side business was shut for 2 weeks, then restarted at 1/3rd staff - their entire operation runs in a warehouse, and local authorities mandate social distancing.... Nothing like having expected delivery times increase by a week because they can't let 2 guys work in the same area at the same time...
