I think we have a winner. I have a box of the sapphire tubos. I think this would be an excellent compliment. FWIW the DC Maximus came in second, but the "Limited" portion made these a little more desirable. The Perdomos are straight out. He is a smoking buddy...we have shared a few ISOMs over the years (in parts of the world where they aren't contraband). I wouldn't want to hurt him that much. The AF Dons are out as well. I have a full box (each) of #3s & #4s. Don't feel too sorry for the guy Brickhouse. My wife had to take a licensing exam. He is in the same business as my wife. He bet me that she would fail (he did his first time). I bet him that not only would she pass, but she would pass by at least 10 points. The bet was a win win for me...those with wives understand. She beat the spread. I want the sting to be enough so he remembers, but not so much that it leaves a scar. The lesson...Don't disrespect another man's wife...especially mine...and not when it comes to her business.
I will probably tell him that I'm leaning towards the Perdomos, then let him off the hook with the Preferidos.
Any other suggestions? I won't pull the trigger until monday or tuesday.
