Update

Hi All,

This really isn't a cigar blog (I know - I've really been slacking!), but more of a personal update. There have been quite a few changes in my life as of late - and fortunately for me, most of them have been quite positive. First and foremost I would like to thank you all for your support over the last two months. It was a trying time of unemployment, but I'm quite proud to report that I am now gainfully employed and just finished my first week of work in the field of Human Resources. I'm thrilled about this new challenge and my co-workers seem genuinely happy that I have joined their team.

Cigar Therapy

Happy Friday!

Last night I had the pleasure to attend Cigar Therapy at Outman Cigar and Martini Bar. It was a BLAST! Needless to say I had a fantastic time. I met a lot of great people and it truly proved to be therapeutic. Hell, what's more therapeutic than cigars, libations, and great people? Any way, I digress. Today's review will focus on Carlos Torano's "Master." I received this cigar by being a part of the Cigar Dave Officer's Club. It's always nice to receive a package in the mail once a month with various, and often newly released, cigars.

Carlos Torano "Master"
Toro
Cost: $7's
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Filler: Nicaragua (Esteli/Jalapa)
Binder: Nicuaragua (Esteli)

Upon receiving this cigar I was pleasantly surprised because most Torano bands are typically ornate and very detailed. However, this band is very simple and only consists of two colors: stark black and rich cream.

The cigar cut and lit easily with no loose tobacco. The condition of the wrapper was nearly flawless as the cigar only possessed small veins and no blemishes worth noting.

The pre-light draw was pleasant in that it was not too tight, but offered a bit of resistance. Throughout the first third the cigar was very mild but possessed a great deal of creaminess along with nutty undertones, which I quite enjoyed. As I continued to enjoy the cigar a distinct sweetness began to present itself. The sweetness resembled a mild chocolate cocoa along with a hint of nutmeg.

Unlike many other cigars I've previously smoked, this cigar required no re-lighting or "babysitting" which made the overall experience fantastic.

This cigar most certainly has a place in my humidor. This is a reasonably priced cigar with complex yet pleasant flavors. It's a real winner!

Perdomo Grand Cru

Andrew and I are just getting over being sick for about a week, but I'm pleased to report that we have finally made a full recovery!

That being said...I was able to smoke a Perdomo Grand Cru yesterday at Outman Cigars.
Here's what I found:

Perdomo Grand Cru
Robusto
Cost: $6 ish
Wrapper: Nicuaraguan Cuban Seed/Semilla Habano
Filler: Nicuaraguan Cuban Seed/Semilla Habano
Binder: Nicuaraguan Cuban Seed/Semilla Habano
2004 Stock


First I'll start by saying that I'm a pretty big Perdomo fan. I find their cigars pleasant but also consistent, which is why I go back for them time and time again. The label is a simple, yet elegant label with the colors: clay, black, and white.

The maduro wrapper gave the cigar a dark, rich, and oily look to this full-bodied smoke. The cigar cut easily with little to no loose tobacco. I saw no obvious blemishes in the wrapper. As easy as it was to cut, it was equally easy to light (and stay lit).

The draw of the cigar throughout the smoke was easy, but offered just the right amount of resistance. The Grand Cru also offered a bountiful amount of smoke, which always adds positively to the experience.

Various flavors presented themselves during this smoke. Some included: molasses, brown sugar, and a bit of cinnamon. I found it to be a sweeter cigar, but the sweetness was very pleasant.

Overall experience: Excellent, pleasant, and easy going. This is a great cigar that will most certainly have a place in my humidor. Big bang for the buck!


Other news:

On Saturday night Andrew and I got to meet Rocky Patel. It was a great event and we had a wonderful time! In addition to meeting Rocky, we met some other great cigar smokers, as always. The best people are always at cigar events!

A Long Road

Hi again - sorry for the lapse in posting. I've been going through some difficult changes over the last few weeks. The changes have been positive thus far, and I hope they stay that way.

Cigar:

Liga Privada No. 9

Toro

Cost: $12ish

Wrapper : Connecticut Broadleaf Ligero Oscuro

Filler : Honduran/Dominican

Binder : Brazil

First of all I'd like to say one word: Damn. I was mildly hesitant about this cigar, but after talking with many cigar passionado's I know I just had to try this car. Needless to say I am extremely impressed. The cigar was easy to cut and had a fantastic (damn near perfect) draw. I am extremely picky about how a cigar draws because I have experienced migraines after smoking on over packed/tight cigars.

The flavors of the cigar were very interesting. Initially there was a bit of sweetness right near the soft palate of the tongue, which was surprising because many Drew Estate Cigars are peppery. The cigar was not "barn-yardy" at all and presented an earthy undertone that was fairly present throughout the entire smoke. One of my favorite aspects of this cigar was that it produced a great deal of smoke. I truly like cigars that provide a lot of smoke when exhaling - I feel this really contributes positively to the cigar smoking experience.

Overall the experience I had while smoking this cigar was great. I felt relaxed, satisfied, and very pleased with the cigar. This cigar certainly has a permanent place in my humidor.

Two in Two Days - I'm on a roll.

I’ll get right to it.

Liga Privada T52

Belicoso

Cost: $13.90

Wrapper: Stalk Cut Habano Wrapper

Binder and Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Honduran

After various pictures of fellow cigars smokers papered the e-wall of Twitter, I knew I had to see what all the rage was about. The T52 is a nice looking cigar with a simple, yet elegant band. I enjoy the color of the cigar when paired with the band which is an off-white band with both camel brown and black writing. The cigar is smooth, but not very oily (unfortunately). The veins of the cigar are small and the wrapper in good condition with no obvious blemishes. The pre-light aroma is barnyard like. It is strong and instills an outdoorsy sense. It cut very well leaving no cigar particles and lit with easy. Both the pre-light draw and draw (while smoking) were good with the appropriate amount of resistance offered from the cigar. I feel that unlike a lot of cigars, the leaves were not over packed, which allowed for a nice firm cigar, but with no soft spots.

The flavor of the cigar offered a great amount of texture as it appealed to various spots within the mouth. The tip and outer portions of my tongue tingled with hints of pepper, while the center portion and roof of my mouth detected honey. Also, the back of my throat also experienced a great amount of peppery flavor – which was long lasting, and frankly shadowed other flavors that might have been presented.

The T52 is overall an OK smoke. I feel that this cigar should be more in the $7-9 price range as opposed to $10+. I won’t be keeping many of these around, especially at that price point.

Fulfilling a New Year’s Resolution: Step 1

I know it’s been a really long while (a really, really long while), since I’ve blogged, but I assure you I will be blogging more this year. There have been many changes in our lives since my last blog. Changes like: I finished my M.S., I got a new job, we got a new steam cleaner, and etc. Although I am finished with school (for now), I haven’t really felt like I’ve had much time to do anything I’ve wanted (like blog) because of the holidays. However, I’m back at it and plan to blog consistently starting…now.

Andrew and I were off work for the last two weeks, which gave us the opportunity to smoke a few cigars. I’ll share two of them with you today.

1^st: San Cristobal Selección Del Sol

Toro

Purchased: Buckhead Cigar: Atlanta, GA

Cost: $7.50 (I think, can’t quite remember)

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun Grown

Filler: Nicaraguan Filler

Upon first glance of this cigar’s band, I thought it to be overly whimsical and didn’t really take it seriously. Once I discovered this cigar was developed by master blender and roller Don Pepin Garcia of El Rey de los Habanos, Inc of Miami, FL, my initial assumptions about the cigar changed quite a bit.

The pre-light aroma of the cigar is quite mild and offers undertones of Jasmine flowers (a sweet smell) along with a creamy heavy cream like fragrance. The cigar cut perfectly with Andrew’s Xikar cutter (which he received from me at Christmas), and no evidence of loose tobacco was seen. The cigar offered a pre-light draw that was perfect and offered just the right amount of resistance. In addition, the cigar burned evenly when lit, and maintained a fairly sturdy, white ash throughout the smoking process. Throughout smoking, the cigar presented flavors of cocoa, honey, and a mild woodsy like taste. The cigar is most definitely one I would consider mild to medium.

Although I often find myself smoking more medium to full bodied cigars, I truly enjoyed the flavor nuances, billows of smoke, and effortless smoking process this cigar offered. I can most certainly say that our humidor will always have room for this cigar.

2^nd: Avo Uvezian LE 10

Super Robusto

Purchased: Buckhead Cigar: Atlanta, GA

Cost: Around $15

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown

Binder: Mexican Grown

Filler: Dominican Ligero

According to a press release from Davidoff of Geneva, the AVO LE10 was introduced to celebrate Avo Uvezian’s 84^th birthday. Uvezian, a “legendary cigar composer,” was born in Beirut, Lebanon to a family of musicians. After smoking this cigar, it is apparently that Uvezian is indeed a master cigar “composer.”

Truth be told: this is my first AVO ever (and I’m quite ashamed of this)! However, there is a good reason. Unfortunately no retail tobacconists carry AVO cigars in my area, which is why this cigar was purchased in Atlanta, GA.

The condition of the cigar is pristine with a very oily texture and only small veins throughout the wrapper. The pre-light of the aroma was very mild, but quite pleasant. The LE10 cut perfectly, with only one loose piece of tobacco presenting itself. It was very easy to light and the draw was extremely easy. Typically I enjoy extremely easy draws, but this draw presented no resistance, and that was a bit hard to get used to at first. The cigar burned OK with minimal “canoeing,” though I did expect better from a Davidoff product. To my surprise, the cigar was extremely mild and very sweet and oaky. I felt that the first portion (typically 1/3) of this cigar was very sweet, which was then followed by a more oaky/woodsy flavor (although still very mild). The last portion of the cigar returned to a mild sweet flavor, which probably was enhanced by the chocolate I was eating.

Overall I felt this cigar was good. I can’t promise that I’ll purchase the LE10 regularly, as I do like medium to full bodied cigar, but the sensation this cigar provided due to the high nicotine content, invoked a pleasurable cigar smoking experience.

Cheers to the New Year! Have a great 2011!

Best Buy: A Horrible Customer Service Experience

The following is a letter I wrote to Best Buy on behalf of my local store here in Greenville, SC.


To Whom It May Concern, Wednesday, September 15, 2010

My name is Jessica Bayne and I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for many years. I have spent thousands of dollars on computers, computer equipment, DVDs, and the like at Best Buy. Unfortunately after the recent experiences at my local Best Buy store, I will no longer make purchases at Best Buy. Their general lack of concern for customers is astonishing. Over the course of the last few weeks I have called Best Buy various times to receive information regarding the status of service on my computer.
There are two instances in general that I would like to make you aware. I called once to receive information regarding the repair of my computer, but unfortunately no one picked up the phone. I tried to call numerous times after this incident. The Loss Prevention Agent, Ron, transferred me to the Geek Squad time after time. On the fourth attempted transfer I asked to speak to the manager on duty. Ron attempted to transfer me to the manager on duty (MOD) but the MOD did not pick up. Ron picked up the phone again and tried to transfer me to the MOD once again. Fortunately for me the MOD did pick up this time, identified himself as Josh, and asked me what I needed assistance with. I informed him and he was able to resolve my problem, but did not seem to consider the inconvenience this organization had caused me.
Sadly, nearly the same incident occurred again today. I received a call from Geek Squad stating that I needed to confirm that I wanted the data on my computer backed up. I attempted to return the call around 2:30 pm. I called once and received no answer. I called a second time and received no answer. I called a third time and received no answer and Ron the Loss Prevention Agent (LPA) picked up the phone. He transferred me to the Geek Squad and they did not pick up the phone and Ron answered the phone once again and I stated “it’s me again Ron.” He replied “You mean no one has called you?” “I stated no, and this time I’d like to speak to the manager on duty.” He attempted to transfer me to the MOD. The MOD did not pick up the phone. Ron picked up again and I again advised him that I’d like to speak to the MOD. Ron then transferred me to the MOD, and yet again the MOD did not pick up. Ron picked up the phone again and at this time I requested the name of the MOD and Ron replied “Josh.” I then requested the name of the district manager and Ron replied “Jacqueline (sorry if I butchered this spelling)” but could not give me any more information (which I understand). I thanked Ron and hung up the phone, but I had not been given the opportunity to authorize the data backup on my computer. I called again and Mindy answered. I explained to Mindy my plight and she worked to resolve my issues. I explained to her that I was highly frustrated and quite disappointed with the level of service I had received. She quickly had Geek Squad agent Jeff work on my data backup and profusely apologized time and time again about the poor service I had received. She informed me that she would pass my contact information on to Jacqueline and I was satisfied.
I am utterly disappointed in this organization. I have read various case studies regarding Best Buy and its outstanding customer service, but I have yet to experience any of this so-called outstanding customer service. I, as a loyal customer, deserve better.

Sincerely,

Jessica Bayne

A Poet but didn't Know it

Andrew and I went to Boda's Pipe Shop on Saturday, which was a lot of fun. However, I will admit that I was initially unhappy about our seating arrangements as we had to sit at a miniature table my legs could barely fit under. Andrew and a German guy named Roman started up a conversation, so I decided I'd write a poem. Ok, don't laugh, but here it is:

In a room Filled with Smoke,
Surrounded by sounds of men chattering,
Old men, young men, bald men, tall men.
Prints of Scarface and Al Capone affixed to the walls,
Sports blasting on two different T.V's.
The smoke, the near nauseating smoke,
The ashes - both stacked and dropped,
Smoke stark white, most grey or black,
Both indications of cheap or well-made.
Colorful bands, moved in motions of mouth to hand,
Oily, glossy wrappers,
Often packed with foreign fillers,
Full or mild in flavor,
Some as sharp as razors.
An all day event for some,
A lifetime commitment for most.

It's a work in progress, but I'm considering submitting it for a few contests just for fun!

While writing this poem I sought divine inspiration from Hemingway with an Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigar. It was great as always- and there's not much else to say about it!

It's Been a While

Ok so it's been a while since I published a blog, but needless to say, life has been very, very busy. I started a new job with the State of South Carolina. I won't talk much about that here...which I think is a wise decision. I'm continuing to battle through 9 hours of grad school, and plan on registering for the PHR in July.

Tomorrow we do plan on heading to Boda's (one of our favorite cigar shops). They have the best coffee EVER!
I'm sure Andrew will select some great cigars to enjoy, and I do plan on writing a review then. Until that happens, I'll just post some new pictures of the furniture!

Nording in November

We've been really, really busy with school, work, life, and you know, the usual. This blog is going to practically me playing "catch-up," so it will contain a plethora of information about cigars, food, holidays, events, and of course, our dogs. So, I'll get started.
Below are pictures of cigars that we have enjoyed, but are not going to fully blog about.
They are:

We also had an awesome time at one of our favorite places...Boda's!! We absolutely LOVE Boda's. The owner is and everyone there is simply fantastic. We recently attended their 25th Anniversary sale and had a wonderful time. They had a beautiful cake (pictured with Owners), and all sorts of food like pizza's, chicken wings, fruits, cheese and more. It was a fantastic event and we can't wait until the next one comes around! At the event we were honored to meet David Ludwig of Newman Cigars and Cynthia Fuente of the legendary cigar family of Fuente. Cynthia and David brought along some of their rarest, yet finest, cigars, and were able to offer a free cigar with every Fuente cigar purchase. The event was on Friday, October 16, 2009 and Cynthia's birthday was actually on Sunday, October, 18 2009. Cynthia had planned to hold a large birthday party in Tampa, FL, but decided to attend the Boda event- a true business woman. All in all, we had a fantastic time, met great people, and are anxiously awaiting the next Boda's event!

Next up: Halloween fun! In the spirit of Halloween we decorated the kids (our dogs :) ) and took amazing pictures of them with our Halloween decorations (which we have yet to take down..oops)! (Below) Andrew and I also carved a Jack-o-Lantern and handed out candy to our numerous trick-or-treaters! Because we had so many little pumpkins, which I initially used as decorations (centerpieces and etc), I actually roasted them, pureed the pumpkin and made homemade pumpkin pie! (Pictured below)


















At last, a Nording in November. Thanks to Cigar Dave, who sent us two awesome Rocky Patel 1961's, and a newly redesigned Rocky Patel "Nording" (Erik Nording is a Danish Pipe Maker), we are able to enjoy a Nording on a very cold (at least to me, not to Andrew, as he is from Illinois), November night. Pre-light draw was easy, but not too easy- just right. The initial flavors I tasted on this cigar were cedar-like, with a mild sweetness. As the cigar progressed I definitely began to taste cedar, which was really noticeable in the front of my tongue, while other, more milder tastes, such as a bittersweet, high percent cocao chocolate flavor was reflected more towards the back of my tongue. The cigar is true Rocky Patel style in that it is full, beautifully and elegantly bound by a Costa Rican wrapper with Rocky's typical, and oh so successfull, Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar is definitely a hit in our house and we would highy recommend it to anyone seeking a full bodied cigar.

Busy, Busy, Busy and an Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story

Hi all,

As you may know from my recent "posts," or mini-updates from my phone, I have been extremely busy. It all began last Thursday when I officially decided to paint the living room. On Friday we got the new dishwasher delivered, two hours late, thanks Best Buy, but weren't able to install it because it didn't come will all necessary parts needed to make the damn thing run! Instead of installing the dishwasher, Andrew and I painted our living room until about 2am. Sadly, we had to get up at 4:30 am to be at a pottery show for my dad. Unfortunately the show didn't go that well. We did our bests to try to encourage buyers, but they just weren't biting. However, although we didn't do that well, we did better than most people.

Last night's smoke:

Arturo Fuente, Hemingway Short Story
Perfecto
Cost: $6.30
Place of Purchase: Boda's
Wrapper: West African Cameroon
Filler: Dominican

Before indulging in this delectable cigar, I need to let you in on some background regarding its purchase. At the Rocky Patel event at Boda's, Andrew and I had been speaking about getting one of these little cigars because I have a B.A. in English. He thought it very appropriate, seeing as Hemingway was a great American writer of the early 20th century, that I sample one of these cigars.

I cut the cigar with my brand spanking new Revolution Cigar Cutter (pictured), which Andrew recently purchased for me, and found that the margin to cut the cap was EXTREMELY small, and considering that I am an amateur smoker/cutter, it was freakin' hard! The pre-light draw was rather difficult, but that's no surprise as the foot is somewhat conical. While some may cut the foot off, I chose to burn it (so morbid I know). Overall, I found the cigar to be a gentle, medium bodied cigar that packed a punch. For example, some of the flavors I sensed from this smoke were: cinnamon, honey (significantly), and finally a spicy yet subdued ending to what turned out to be a savory smoke.

In my opinion, if one interested in a 30-45 minute short stack that packs a lot of punch, the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story is the way to go.

3) We went out of town to GA for the day to sell pottery for my dad. His website is: www.michelbayne.com . Check it out! 4)We ran out of paint and got more!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to let you in on some updates and apologize for my lack of entries as of late. 1) I got a new job! 2) We have been painting

Two for the Price of One!

Well, I know it’s been a while since I have updated the blog, but I figured now would be as good of a time as any. You’ll be excited to know that several interesting events have occurred since last Thursday! Some of these events included: serious birthday celebrations, sushi eating, serious cigar smoking, and last but not least, new dishwasher buying!

On Thursday night I spent some serious time making lovely cupcakes for Andrew’s early birthday celebrations (which we had decided would start on Thursday and end on Sunday, ha!) Andrew had been talking a lot about Bombay Sapphire and how it made the best martinis ever. In light of this, I bought Andrew a Boston, two martini glasses, and some Bombay Sapphire! Needless to say it was a great night!

Because Friday was the Rocky Patel event, we decided we’d take it easy before the event. Once we got there, Mark was there once again, and this time he was offering some awesome free deals. We bought SEVERAL RP cigars…and Andrew bought me an Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story. He said “because you were a literature major, you should definitely have this cigar,” and believe me, I couldn’t agree more! (I’m allowing my Hemingway to sit in the humidor for a while, reviews to come soon.) Sadly, we didn’t win any of the free giveaways, but wow, we had a fantastic time.

What did we smoke?

I smoked a REAL Rocky Patel Edge (thanks babe!!) and Andrew smoked a RP Decade.

Rocky Patel Edge

Toro

Cost: $6.50

Place of Purchase: Boda Pipes

Wrapper: Costa Rican Maduro

Filler: Nicaraguan-Honduran Ligero fillers

Smell: Bold natural scent

The experience:

Until now, I have only experienced faux Rocky Patel Edge cigars (factory seconds), but now that I have indulged in the actual Edge, there’s no turning back. The smooth draw allows for an intense flavor experience. This, accompanied with hearty aromas, makes the Edge incomparable to any other cigar (any that I’ve had thus far). The edge is a genial cigar that offers great depth for anyone’s palate. The aroma, taste, oily perfectly textured touch of the wrapper, and scent are all exceptional. For the lover of a medium to full bodied cigar, this is definitely a winner.

Beyond the review I’d like to take a few lines to explain why I love the Edge so much. While its outer appearance is elegant, and it tastes great, the Edge offers a great experience not only to cigar elites, but to the everyday “Joe.” When browsing in Boda’s humidor on Friday, I noticed that so many cigars were covered in fancy wrappers and encased in very visually stimulating boxes. Sometimes these fancy items can scream “EXPENSIVE.” When one looks at the Edge he sees a simple, yet handsome cigar. In closing, although lacking external fancies, the Edge speaks volumes through its flavors.

Rocky Patel Decade

Robusto

Cost: $9.99

Place of Purchase: Boda’s

Wrapper: Ecuadorian

Filler: Honduran

Smell: Gentle, smooth smelling earthy characteristics

Well… I probably shouldn’t have been smoking this cigar at nearly the same time as The Edge, because they are VERY different cigars. The Decade is a very mild cigar; it doesn’t pack much punch. It’s delicate, draws nicely, easily fits in one’s hand, and is visually appealing. However, it pales in comparison with The Edge. Please note that this is strictly my opinion, as I tend to lean more towards full-bodied cigars. As typical of many Rocky Patel cigars, The Decade possessed light, airy earth tones, accompanied by nutty (almost chestnut) flavors. While the flavors were present, they were definitely not bold. Sadly, when I placed the cigar in to a cigar ashtray, because the cigar is box pressed, it did not fit well and repeatedly fell. . Perhaps someone could suggest an ashtray suited better for box pressed cigars?

Other random news:

I bought a new cutter at Boda’s. Considering I almost chopped off my finger using Andrew’s double bladed cutter, I thought it best that I acquire a scissor cutter! It’s great!

Our dishwasher broke on Sunday (Andrew’s birthday, happy birthday to him!) so we went and bought one on Monday.

Here it is:

And again

Since Andrew and I were fortunate enough to attend the Rocky Patel sale at Outman's on Friday, we are definitely taking advantage of the loot we made out with! On today's menu it's: RP Vintage 1990 and 1992.

RP Vintage 1990
Robusto
Cost: $8.30
Place of Purchase: Outman's
Wrapper: 12 year old Honduran Broadleaf Maduro wrapper (Box press)
Filler: 7 year old filler and binder
Smell:More mild than the '92, sweet, intoxicating smell

and

RP Vintage 1992
Robusto
Cost: $8.30
Place of Purchase: Outman's
Wrapper: 10 year old Ecuadorian Sumatra Wrapper (Box press)
Filler: 7 year old filler and binder
Smell: Stout earth smell


First of all, I'd just like to say that Rocky excels in the cigar semblance department. When Andrew and I were speaking with the RP rep on Saturday, he made us aware that RP employs an individual to examine the outside of the cigars to match each cigar in the box by color. Clearly, it's only the best for Rocky Patel.

The Vintage 1990 and 1992 are extremely different cigars. Based on smell alone I assumed the 1992 would be a medium to full-bodied cigar, but I was very wrong. The 1990, although a little more difficult to draw than the 1992, was sensuous, smooth, and sweet. Initially the cigar was a bit earthy tasting, but about a third of the way through, my patience paid off. Like many RP cigars, this cigar being no exception, there are complex flavors just waiting to be discovered with every inhale.

On to the 1992... both Andrew and I believe that we may have obtained a dud. Although we did try the punch method on this cigar, we did make sure that there were breaches in the extremity of the cigar. Because I had never had a 1992 before, I was unable to compare it to any other 1992's. However, Andrew had previously smoked a 1992, and was quite convinced there was something wrong with this cigar. The only thing I can say about this cigar is that it drew extremely easily, perhaps even too easily. In regards to taste, the cigar was boring and without character. I will, without a doubt, buy another Vintage 1992 to make certain my assessment is without error.

Thank you to everyone who subscribed to my Tweets and checked out my blog! I really appreciate all of your support!
