Box arrived last night, but I got in late and opened it today. I slid my box cutter through the tape and the box burst open like a gutted pregnant cowcod rockfish, the cigars spilling out like so many colorful fish eggs...

so many choices...what to do...what to do...

Takes:

Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art
Caldwell Eastern Standard Midnight Express
Padron 3000 maduro
Warped Eagles Descent

Puts:

Black Works Studio Sindustry
Fuente Hemingway Best Seller Natural
Highclere Castle
Montecristo No. 5 cc
Pistoff Kristoff, aged a few years
Warped Chinchalle


I've got to take my sister to a medical appointment this afternoon, so, if approved, I can send this along tomorrow...or I can do a second attempt at takes and puts...

Hey Jake, you still in Harrington?

OK, here's my second/third attempt at listing my takes and puts...cue tap dancing music, even tho I can't dance...

Takes:

Padron 2000, maduro
Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art
Warped Eagles Descent
Alec Bradley Prensado


Puts:

Black Works Studio Sindustry
CigarsofHabanos Custom Rolled
Illusione Singulare Annunaki
Montecristo No. 5 cc
Southern Draw Rose of Sharon lancero
Warped Chinchalle

I am willing to do a fourth try at acceptable takes and puts, if only to buy time for SOB to get in the pocket, or if the reality is that it is weak sauce...whatever the case, I can hang onto the box and ship it on Friday to allow a week for Jake and Lee to do their thing before sending to SOB after his return...LMK

no offense intended PapaWhiskey, but Ima need clearance from a "higher authority"... we both swung and missed on our first coupla swings, so I'll need guidance from a more "experienced hand"...

I see now that I didn't follow instructions precisely, and was told by the boss to go right to a third attempt. I tried to disguise my 2nd shot as a third ...and obviously fooled no one.

Here goes; my third stab at winning approval.


Takes:

Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art
Caldwell Eastern Standard Midnight Express
Padron 3000 maduro
Warped Eagles Descent


Puts:

CigarsofHabanos Custom Rolled
Fuente Hemingway Best Seller
HVC Pan Caliente
HIghclere Castle
Illusione HL, maduro
Montecristo No.5 cc



Alas, the Warped Chinchalle prolly doesn't have the buttery shortbread flavors of a prior production, so I withdrew if from my list of offerings and offer my humblest apologies for trying to slide that rocket into the mix.

box should make it home without needing an upgrade unless the last three players go nuts...what're the odds?

I appreciate the ridealong goodies, gentlemen... and because the givers chose to remain anonymous, I will toast every participant when I smoke them!

I think the takes/puts are fine, but you should redo them anyway. You know, it's the done thing.

You could at least re-order what your taking and putting. Instead of taking:

Nica rustica romusto
Brickhouse maduro toro
La aurora Ecuador romusto
Bcc pan caliente toro
Fuente r44 rosado

You could take:

Bcc pan caliente toro
Brickhouse maduro toro
Fuente r44 rosado
Nica rustica romusto
La aurora Ecuador romusto

Further disputes about the takes / puts should be pm-ed to clintCigar. He's supposed to be the official forum arbiter anyway. He can put down his Ashton, lower his pinky and his wine glass, and do his job.

Before my time too but I think this is one of the box passes that got f*#ked up:

http://www.cigarbid.com/...3/Box-pass-version-2012

I didn't read through all 13 pages but mebbe on a slow day.

There was also this pass that things went sideways.

http://www.cigarbid.com/...Launched-ISO-Signatures

I totally forgot that the pass got f'd up but glad things, eventually, worked out.
