And I'm confident that David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia et al will enjoy the cigars you send to my return address!

DC# - 0311 3260 0000 4683 6926 Should arrive by the end of the week. Sorry it's not going to be sooner but it would have cost $30 to send it 3 day priority so I sent it 5 day which cut the cost in half. Hope everyone is okay with that but with my wife's car in the shop I have to be careful with what I spend until I get the final bill. It's on it's way to Smokestaxx.

I spoke with Brad. Since he lives so close, we arranged for me to pick-up the box early Friday morning. I should have my takes and puts arranged by the afternoon. The box should ship no later than Monday. I'll post the DC # then.

sd72, please PM me your address. By the way, I'll make sure some of Brad's "puts" make it to you!

Wow!!! It's almost home. One more stop at sd72, then a hand off to kombat, who may see the box by the end of next week. After that detour in the middle of the pass, this thing picked up speed, and ...ahem...heft. Way to go , Bros!!! Lookout kombat!!!

ping gimbel, wombat. He checks in from time to time. That'd be cool if you can hook him up since he was on the list of original players in this pass, but deployed before his turn.

NO WAY!!!! It made it home????? That's awesome!
The final third really picked up the pace and the puts, it appears. Too bad it got ugly there in the middle.

David, thanks for getting this going and letting me play.
Delta, way to keep it going and organized!!!

Who had the "unders" on the box making it by Christmas? Sarcasm

I believe this is the box pass that Delta referred to. Mathen’s call out was brutal but obviously needed.

Mathen wrote:
I have hand delivered this to Pro earlier this afternoon. So uh, no confirmation number, but he has it.

Now, let me say something snarky: Some of y'all need to develop a little bit of shame. I mean seriously, there was some ass in this pass. To those of you who felt like it was ok to dump your dog rockets, tsk tsk. I know this wasn't the "high end" box pas or the "elitist basstid" box pass, or anything highbrow, but seriously guys? I'm honestly surprised I didn't see a Phillies blunt in that mix. Come to think of it, that unbanded in there might have been.

I wasn't even going to make any takes on this one because the pickings were so slim I didn't want to take absolutely all five sticks that were decent. But then when I made my puts, I couldn't close the lid on the tupperware and didn't have another one that would fit in that box so I ended up with:

My Takes:
The JDN
The La Aurora Corojo
LFD Double Ligero

My Puts:
601 Blue
601 Red
DPG Blue
DPG Black
Undercrown Robbie.

I kinda had a color thing going on, what can I say?

Proposed interim rule: $4 minimum MSRP. Which we all know means about $2 here. Which is still about a 100% improvement over about half this box.

Oh the humanity.



A few posts later, Al suggested this:

delta1 wrote:
BACK TO THE BOXPASS: that was very generous pro.

One suggestion for future passes is to insist on posting takes and puts. Add an updated list of contents after each pass and that would provide a measure of accountability.

Confession time: I checked back to some of my earlier posts in this thread, and I DID put in a Gurkha.....into the bag for the troops. I deeply apologize to any member of our esteemed armed services who may be offended. As penance, I will smoke a Gurkha when I end my cigar smoking fast after I do my blood tests/health screening on Friday.
