| A nice sample of 2001 Astley's 109 arrived at my door today. Big thanks to Jim (Puff Daddy) for this generous offering. This will go nicely with a tall glass of spiced rum latter tonight. Like I said before we have a great group of gents here at the BoB.... _________________

Very nice Virginia, rubbed out without fuss and smoked wonderfully. Not as full as Samuel Gawith FVF, not as complex as GL Pease Filmore. All in all just a real nice Virgina tobacco. If the 03' is still available I'd grab it if I were you. _________________

| Nice gesture PD! Astley's 109 is a fine VA blend. _________________
