As for the cigars I will approve. However as for the OCD you are having with dead space I am not sure what you mean but I have a feeling I do and I disapprove.

It's not all strictly prohibition related. There's just a container or two not reaching their full potential

It's full! There are plenty of choices in there that people will enjoy! I'm calling out now that only 5 cigars of the original will make it back. And a birdie told me there is no more room for host bag. I packed it that way for a reason!

2. It's non-of you F'n business other that puts and take approval now.
3. Eat $hit (on general principles)

That would be interesting.

Mebbe meet somewhere in the middle so that it’s only a 20-25 minute drive for both of youses?

And since I’ve met both of youse fine gentlemen (…I know, I know, it might be stretch to call one of youse a “gentle”man), I think you’d both enjoy each other’s company.

Also, iffin’ youse guys meet up, Cheno can take the contents of the Host Bag so that there’s more room for the balance of the BP participants.

I didn’t write down or take a picture of the original set of cigars but if memory serves me correctly, even though we’re halfway through the BP, there’s still a slew of GREAT cigars. IMHO, no one will be disappointed when the box gets to them.

I’m a bit concerned about my turn. I’m just going to look at my invoices and pick the most expensive sticks to use as replacements. I don’t know if they’re “good” but I have no other way to estimate the quality of the cigar because I’m still noobish. I’ll be relying on feedback when I post my pulls and puts.

PW - what size box are you using to send out? ATMR (WCBW), the BP is now +6 in terms of overall cigar count…and that’s not including any stealth Host Bag additions.

I’mma thinking mebbe our most righteous host might hafta get more storage space soon…. Think

Good question Palama. It came in an LFR box but was very tight. Even after eating a bag of one-ton chips (delicious by the way, thank you, my first taste) it's still too tight for my comfort. I tried adding cigar boxes for all the cigars that were just in bags but no fit. I don't like shipping bags of cigars with boxes of cigars because the boxes tend to beat up the cigars that are not protected in boxes. If I remove the boxes and put all the bags of cigars in a big bag like we do with SFR boxes it works. I can ship in LFR box with cigar boxes removed or go with a bigger non flat rate box and put all cigars in cigar boxes. What do you all think?

Surprised there isn't enough room in the box size I both received and sent out because everyone should have been taking samples of Palalama's snacks out of it. Unless someone "forgot" to list all their puts and such....

I took a pack of macs, but left the one tons for any one ton virgins that may still be out there. I had box size concerns myself, but wasn't able to find a larger one and didn't want to hold things up. So I insured it and hoped for the best

Quite frankly I didn’t think the OTCs would make it past the halfway mark but it does show the brotherly love of this site.
