What the???? DANNY thank you SOOOO Much!!!!!!!!

Two part story.

Part 1:
I received this year a beautiful present from Danny (yes, THE Danny) during our Vegas reunion. This had been sitting there, while I wrapped up last year’s present, also from Danny.


Part 2:
Today, I had a big lunch. Grill, bone in RibEye, ‘12 California Cabernet....


So after a big lunch, I fired up a big boy cigar. Partagas Serie D4. A powerhouse.

Nice! Class act
I was looking at that particular Hibiki but found it a little pricey for a no age statement bottle, I guess it really doesn't matter then?

Awesome gift Danny!

On a side note, the Bose mini soundlink sounds incredible for its size. I have one as well.

Bossa Nova is my fave and I too love Cigars and Whiskey. I've never tried a Japanese Whisky but I must soon.

Love your portable speaker. I have a similar speaker and use it all the time. It's the newer round version.
