Well the number of responses to my original post was very UNDERwhelming. I'm feeling pretty good though. DrMaddVibe and Flyfishtn took it upon themselves to make up for all the slackers! These two HAMMERED me with high quality smokes of all types! They went way,way,way above and beyond the required. You two guys are GREAT! You are the kind of fellows that make our cigar community good. Thanks DrMaddVibe and Flyfishtn! Thanks very much!

Enjoy. Hope it makes up for any delay.

i don't know who failed to cover their loses, but if they are in next year, i am out. i never kept track of who owed me, assuming i would get my cigars.

i think a list of non payers is in order.

I can appreciate the fact that not keeping track shows trust in the fellows in the pool. Unfortunately this theory of self policing seems not to have worked. I think it is not very nice to participate in a pool and not pay losses. I think it is REPREHENSIBLE to accept winnings, and then not pay losses. I have not won cigars from everyone in the pool. But HALF of the people who were supposed to send a cigar my way have not. I'll give it some more time and post my list.

X, I know I do not owe you any but I am a culprit as well. I will be sending out everything I owe.

I did not keep track when I won either. For my last win I received gars from about 1/3 of the folks who owed me.

Anybody hear from Steve? I sent him an e-mail a few days ago.

IMO all the pool players should do the same giving everyone the chance to make amends or suffer their fate.

"IMO all the pool players should do the same giving everyone the chance to make amends or suffer their fate."

i'm agreeable with giving people a second chance to make amends. i'm sure steve has all the lists on his computer from the beginning of time until now. i think people that believe they may owe cigars, including me should check with steve. i will check and hope i am not guilty of ommission.

I agree. Pay up ASAP and no hard feelings.

I sent out the two boxes i owed last week for wk 15 and wk 17...

So i do not owe anybody...

I emailed Steve again asking that he send a group e-mail to ALL participants giving them the chance to come clean. I kept the emails where I owe folks but deleted the emails where I was the winner.

My gars to smithbw are enroute in case he reads this.

Rick I think I owe you.

I think I am current but if not email me at

charlesaf1 at msn dot com!

I did not keep lists or really care if I got all just do not want to be negligent!!!!!

PS Thanks Beatdragon, did not know you owed me any cigars! Time to move on to the great sport of baseball!

I thought I had paid up on everything, but did some checking and it looks like I neglected to send out weeks 14, 15, and 16 (wasn't in 17).

So I have some sticks going to:

and SP

Thanks for the spurring me to re-check my records. If anyone else has record that I owe them, let me know.

Thanks!

I sent out an armload of packages but still think I owe a couple brothers some smokes. Will wait and see if SteveS sends the list bassdude inquired about. I also sent an e-mail to Steve asking about the list as well.

Im still waiting on packages from others myself.

Thanks flyfishtn, got yours last week.

i find this whole thread sort of confusing. i mean, let's face it, if you owe, you know you owe. what is steve going to tell anyone that they shouldn't already know? what i find particularly hard to believe is this sort of bewildered confusion by some of the posters above. one prolific poster/player owes me, and by his own admission a lot of others, and has said on two previous posts over the last month that he will be sending asap, but he's still waiting for some kind of info from steve. what is steve going to tell him? at the same time he's making trades left and right on the trade board and posting constantly about getting things set straight. in the end no one is going to be able to prove they sent all they owed but it doesn't matter....you'll just know if you did or you didn't play fair.

I'm pretty sure I paid out to everyone, but if not, let me know.

I think better rules need to be applied next year. Maybe a tally of who owes cigars is sent out at the end of the football season, so that everyone sends out their share in a few happy packages and its easy to keep track of it.

Thanks Beat for the package!

jdouglas, you can use my name I don't mind and will not be offended. I am guilty as charged.

Unfortunately I used my work e-mail when getting into this. We are restricted on space and when I cleaned up old e-mail some of the pool results were deleted. Now you know why I e-mailed Steve. I am kinda lazy and wanted to send them all out at once. Is this excusable? NO.

Why the confusion? Any other info you need from me? [email protected] send me your snailer and yours will go out tomorrow - same to anyone else.

jdouglas,

Should I just send a package to everyone in the pool because I am so confused.

Just as in bassdudes case it was a an e-mail issue and I lost of some the distribution lists. So yes, I think I owe some additional sticks but do not have the distribution list for each week. Im not confused, just trying to pay up.

Here's a thought,

jdouglas or anyone else who has kept all the e-mails please send them to me here [email protected]

All shipments packaged. Will ship tomorrow or Saturday at the latest(freezing rain tonight). Please accept my humble apologies for any inconvenience. Your pain and suffering has been taken into consideration. If upon receipt of said packages the recipients remain unsatisfied please dial 1-800-EAT..... er sorry, please e-mail me thlynchatyahoodotcom. I'm sure that we can reach an accomodation.

Kind Regards,

THL

To those I owe... they went out today, with a little extra to make good on the tardiness. Went priority mail and you should get them in a couple of days.

i had the feeling everyone would try their best to be fair.
