OKAY, boys. I just spent some time straightening out the box. Not rocket science, but close. If you're one of the sloppy ones, go sit in time out. I went through both lists, the regular pass stuff and the bonus sticks, and now every stick is accounted for. Some had strayed from one box to another, bonus sticks were swinging with other bonus sticks outside their bag, and what appears to be the Elite/Magnificent cross-pass cigars were just mixing in with our regulars. Bad smokes! I checked off all regulars against our list, so anything left over and not belonging in the bonus box I assumed were cross-pass sticks. We have 25 cigars for the regular pass, 10 cigars in the bonus box (in 4 separate bags), and 8 cigars which I'm assuming are from the cross pass. I put these cross-sticks in the Old Chicago Smoke Shop baggie. My keepers: Peterson Corona tubo, Maria Mancini box-press, HdM Excalibur IV, and both Cohiba Esplendidos. My leavers: Por Larranaga Torpedo, Flor de Copan Churchill, La Unica Cameroon Torpedo, Tamboril Sumatra Robusto, and La Hoja Selecta Toro. With all due respect to the Elite guys, I'm leaving my cross-pass choices for someone else; nothing really appealed to me, and I'm busting at the seams as it is. NOW, are there any questions? Off to Bill today.
