it's almost monday....the vaunted box will be sent towards me....i tremble. sure, you've all had pressures, missing tags, weekends, overnighted instructions, on and on and on. but put yourself in my shoes....called off the bench to run with the big dogs...i'm eager, and if i can just get those little plastic tips off my stash before tuesday or wednesday i think i might just be able to pull this off. i'll try to keep everyone well informed. robby....as i understand this thing i send you three smokes and you smoke them and write a review. or something like that. best regards. john

And we have priority lift-off.
Transfering tracking to Iowa station at John Douglas International.
Coordinates for tracking are:
0301 0120 0007 4377 7411

Be advised that the payload is fully insured at $700.

Please refrain from smoking these cigars until they arrive at their destination and the captain has turned on the smoking sign.

Until then, feel to move about your cabin with nervous anticipation of the arrival at IA station.

I hope the cigars have enjoyed their stay at my location as much as I enjoyed them being here.

I would like to give a special thanks to Mrs Doc for the excellent in-flight instruction manual and tags. I'd hire her if I had a business. Great Job.

Roger that transmission --Dan and Hoagie 55, I commend our Ohio Brethren of the PASS on the excellent way you have taken care of and quickly processed our PASS. Dan, the humidification concerns you attended to were above and beyond and are much appreciated ----GREAT Job.
HOOAH !!

PS --Mrs. Doc (or the Doc-ette) thanks you for the kind words. I really appreciate you noticing and commenting on Monica's contribution to the set up and organization of our PASS !!!!

Doc,

I forgot to mention this in with all the excitement at the arrival of the box, but my wife told me to pass on her appreciation of Mrs. Doc's organizational skills. I too was overly impressed with the way you'll set it up.

A BIG thank you to the Mrs. and if there's a cigar that she partakes in let me now and I'll do my best to acquire and send one to her.

Matt

justdand et al....am in receipt of tracking information and will keep board up to date regarding delivery. robby....please let me know if this friday or saturday is good for you to receive. i should get it on wednesday....i've already got an idea of my moves, and i hope to turn same day. that puts the box to you prior to any kind of weekend hold up at the post office. however, i can certainly hold it up here if that works better for you....just let me know. best regards, john johnddouglasathotmaildotcom

Dan,

Did you get the 'special' bag I left for you? LOL

Rocco

LOL Rocco.
Hey! I got yer special bag right here!!!

Oh, I mean, yes. I got my kids sunglasses she left at your house. Too funny.

Thanks, you're a class act and fully deserving the package being put together for ya. My wife insists, so there is no use in arguing about it.
:-)

"Lowman's Pass... Lowman's Pass..."

Low

Ooops... Sorry, wrong thread...

..." et tu --Lowman "

The ULTIMATE Thread Jack pulled off by a Brother from Jersey !!!!

Mentioning another Box PASS on this thread --- unforgivable ---- I am sending back my Official "Lowman's PASS" T-Shirt !!!

Dan,

I figured that the box was heading your way anyway, so why not drop them in there.

While I can argue with you, I can't argue with the wife, it will only get us both in trouble. They always seem to win, so why put yourself through it.

I look forward to getting together with you again in the future. Hopefully I'll be feeling better the next time.

Rocco

Sorry... :o(

Whew! A sigh of relief that the box has made it out of my area. 🙂

Good play to me, John. Now send it back to me so I can get a look at those Partagas.

Dan (JustDanD)

Nice play, John...

Low

Sorry Dan... Those Partagas' got my name on them... :o)

My turn yet??

Thanks John, I'll be visiting my folks this weekend, but can arange to have the inlaws pick it up from the doorstep if it comes Saturday. Otherwise, I'll be here Monday and back Sunday. Would hate for it to set on the front step for a day...

robby--i'm going to go ahead and ship this afternoon (wednesday).....should be to you friday. saturday at the latest. that way you can have it over the weekend and it won't be sitting somewhere out of our control. details will follow. best regards, john

John D --

AWESOME Play !!! Those Puts are really the icing on the cake --- unfortunately - I know that everyone involved in the PASS before me also knows some of the GEMS you have entered and I know I have 0 chance of seeing some of these sticks -- but that's what makes this such a fun experience...

You have come off the bench and Hit a Home Run -- Great Job and Thanks on behalf of all the Brethren in the PASS !!!

URGENT!! URGENT!! URGENT!!
============================================

----- CHANGE IN SHIPPING ORDER --------

Please send that box back to deadeyedick immediately!

(Oh well.........it was worth a try.) 😉

Great job John!

DED

Good Plays! You are a man of honor!

sorry to disappoint all those who came before, but the box is on its way out of iowa and headed for the great state of georgia. no looking back now. delivery confirmation receipt number is 0301 0120 0010 3814 7766. insurance receipt number is vd 086 719 560 us. just a heads up for anyone who may not be aware.....at 700 insurance a signature is required to take receipt of package. i had to sign this morning and i verified with postmaster when i shipped this afternoon that it was the insurance that made the signature a must. that may force some special arrangements, but i guess better safe than sorry. best regards to all, john

(since this is the trade thread, and since i can't find any opus x in des moines to buy, i would toss out that a few of the partagas aa's remain. is that subtle or what?)
