Default Thank You

I would like to take a moment to sincerly thank all those members and businesses that contributed to the PGCA 2012 Silent auction. I would also like to thank the bidders that made this event a success. There were some very nice items this year and I almost decided to start smoking cigars just to have a reason to bid on the Gournet engraved cigar cutter. I will attempt to list all who donated but if I miss anyone please forgive me. For anyone who missed the thread were some of these items were pictured it can be found at http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthr...silent+auction.

Always curious what things brought. Is there a list? Some nice stuff this year.

Larry;
Thanks for all your hard work. A good cigar now and then is good for the soul. I'll bring you one to smoke at the southern in April.

And I'll cut it with my new cutter.

I guess I'll have to bring two now. No, three. One for me.

I have a small collection of nondescript cigar cutters, and I wouldn't think of one of them convincing me to actually light up. They are best left in the "display".

C'mon Murph, you only live once. That's like buying a Parker and not shooting it.
