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...

I'd just skip the second attempt and go right for the third. |

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

Are you sending one that has the buttery shortbread taste?  |
| 108. Author: PapaWhiskey | Date: Wed, 5/24/2023, 4:50PM EST | |
Looks good to me.  |
| 109. Author: delta1 | Date: Thu, 5/25/2023, 12:18PM EST | |
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.

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.

i think you need another take so we can keep the box from bursting... other then that it looks fine to me |
| 118. Author: LeeBot | Date: Wed, 5/31/2023, 7:55AM EST | |
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

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.

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. |
