A Proper Welcome Home
First let me thanks all the TRF members for the last 2 months. Since discovering this forum I've been slowly immersing myself in the comfort of your company. After many years of hard work I made a decision that I deserved to reward myself with a Rolex. After becomming a member I've spent far to many hours reading and re-reading threads. It's been fun to read the deverse opinions, sage advice and at times funny posts (mostly at JJ's expense). For what it's worth JJ I liked your glasses although that video was a classic. Well it finally happened today and I couldn't be happier. This called for the very best kind of welcome. I snapped these shots. Excuse the photography as I don't have the best camera. Thanks to all for guiding me to this point. Look forward to many more hours.

Congrats Rick on a smokin' time piece and can I celebrate with ya?!
btw, I met the brother of the guy who invented the Cohiba in "Little San Salvador" in the Bahamas doing what else...making a new type of cigar... The guy who invented the Cohiba was Castro's private cigar maker until his retirement.
