Hey Guys,
I believe I do owe everyone a really great smoke. I fumbled the pass, by not getting the instruction packet back in the box before packing and shipping. Screwed up again, by forgetting that my local post office is closed on Saturday. I will Fedex overnight, the instruction packet to Rocco, on Mon. Please forgive me for this grave error. It will be corrected soon. I'm sorry Docrks, for screwing up your flawless administration of this box pass. I hope I will still be included in future box passes. This was my first box pass, and I understand how much trouble I have caused. Please forgive my unforgivable error.
Later

Guys,

Don't worry about the pass, the sticks are resting peacefully. The box is in bad shape and probably won't make it more than another week or so. I will place all of the goodies in a new box, with the proper packaging.

I will wait until I receive all of the paperwork before sending it on.

Rocco

Here are my puts and takes.


Takes Puts
H10 Partagas EL 2001 Montecristo Churchill
H16 Tinidad Fundadore Cohiba Esplendidos
UL13 PAN 1926 Cohiba Esplendidos(H20)
SP10 RyJ 130th Anniversary Opus X Fuente Fuente
PR11 Graycliff Corona Ashton VSG Torpedo

Please note that H20 is a new bag and UL13 is empty.

Hopefully I will receive the paperwork tomorrow and get this box shipped out first thing on Tuesday.

Doc & Octo, you probably sent the email to my office. I'll pick those up tomorrow and respond.

Nice puts & takes rocco.

And don't stress over it homebrew,
I'm sure the 'gars were getting a
little car sick anyway! Rocco will
put'em on a little bedrest till your
packet arrives.

...octo

Homebrew. Considering the pace of your life from what you tell us, it's lucky that is the only problem you had. 🙂 Don't worry about it. Rocco will take care of setting it straight again.

BTW Rocco. Thanks for the cigars, beer, cannolli and company this weekend. Enjoyed the visit. Be on the lookout for a thank-you package this week.

Dan

Rocco - a nice way to play the PASS - good assortment and proper substitution of a Habana in lieu of a top Domestic.
Thanks for taking good care of your visitors and offering then a place to rest before they continue the journey.

Dan,

Thanks for stopping by. It was good to meet you and Mrs Dan. You have a very nice family

FYI - I did catch the 24-hour bug and was hurting all day yesterday. Also, thanks for the smokes. Another fine collection of sticks I haven't tried. No need for a thank you package.

Rocco

Homebrew,

Don't worry about the paperwork, we'll get the box back on track. What I would worry about is me breaking into that box and going hog wild with all of the smokes. As of today at noon I am no longer responsible for my actions.

Rocco

Rocco -

ok---but then just before noon - please forward the address where we can send the flowers and the notes of condolence.

I'm sure you'll have the overnight from Homebrew by Tuesday and then the complete package can get back on its way to Octowings.

Doc,

You're too funny!!!

Rocco

Rocco -
"Funny "? The last 4 guys on the PASS are from Jersey --- you break into that box and you will realize why "The Sopranos" is filmed here and how our fair State has earned its reputation.....and then there's Billy --- he is so well trained and skilled that he can accomplish the same thing from over 3000 miles away - right through the phone lines without ever leaving his favorite Biergarten!

Doc,

I'm from Cicero, the birthplace of the mob So if you think a few guys from Jersey are going to scare me you've got another thing coming. Oh wait, I just saw the NJ Herf picture. Yes, that is a scary group. LOL

Rocco ---"we hardly knew ye".... and what do you mean LOL about our beautious pix from the herf ---we had chicks climbing all over us all night --- oh wait, we were seated right outside the Ladies Room....never mind ..... I agree --- LOL !!

Rocco,

I wouldn't worry about the mob influence over the cigars. It's the hillbillies that you have to worry about here! We are Southern Gentlemen by nature, but when you rile us up we have our ways of getting even. Did I mention that I grew up with one of the Hatfields, as in the Hatfields and McCoys feud?

I tell you what, after we grab you and bring you down into the hills we'll give you a days head start and then the hunt begins.

Yee Haw!!!
Matt

Hoagie,

Don't be doing any of that Deliverance stuff.

Squeal like a pig.

Hey Matt,
Sounds like where I live. Rocco, the instructions have been sent. Delivery, before Noon Tuesday, by way of USPS. Yeah the reason, the mob never was able to move into Arkansas, was the hillbillies. The Mob comes from several families, hell the county I live in is made up of three seperate families, but all of them are kin to one another, Hell the Posts, and the Wiedikers are the same family, just one brother changed his name to post during WWII. As for the Hatfields, I used to date a Hatfield, we lived together for 2-3 years, she was a mean bitch. Last night we were together, she dragged me around the house by my hair, hitting me in the head with a 2x4, until her son, at 7 years old, knocked her out with a skillet. Never dating a hillbilly girl again. If her name is Hatfield, RUN.
Oh Yeah, Docrks, your birthday smokes went out this morning.
Later
Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)

Rocco,

You must have confused us with West Virginia. We don't go for that kind of stuff around here!

Matt

LOL!!!

Octo,

Please re-verify ability to receive. I'm expecting the paperwork to be available when I arrive home tonight with the goal of shipping the package tomorrow.
