Looks like a great time had by all.  Good to hear brothers going out of their way to see other brothers.

     Sorry it's taken me so long to chime in here, but I didn't get back in town until late last night.  It was a great time indeed!  Both Odsman (Thomas) and his wife were great hosts.  In fact, I learned more about San Antonio and Texas in general from them in the couple hours we spent together than I did during the rest of my time there.  Odsman was the first BOTL that I've met in person, and I was most surprised by how smoking cigars and chatting here on StogieChat can bring together two strangers, and make it seems like old friends. 

     Ironically, Thomas and I were talking about a conversation I had with Not A Nice Person, with regard to strength of cigars, and that "nicotine buzz".  As the pics show, Odsman hit me with a Hoyo De Monterey Excalibur (GREAT stick - Thanks again, Thomas!).  Long story short, I had only one beer that evening, and a huge Hoyo (Toro Size, I think).  When I stood up from the meal, I felt a bit woozy, and of course attributed that to the beer.  Upon getting back to the hotel room, I realized, "WAIT!  I only had ONE beer!"  What was in that thing, Odsman!?!   A very memorable smoke.. in many ways! 

    Officially, thanks again for taking time out of your day and making the trek, Thomas (and Mrs. Odsman)!
