My first Box Pass, and I'm first up! the pressure! the pressure!!!

Archimark: Box is on its way. Had to make one change: My original list included a Macanudo 1997 that was coming in the mail to me. Turned out to be demis'. Little tiny buggers not much bigger than a cigarette. I was too embarassed to include it, so I substituted a Cohiba. If you really had your heart set on the Mac, let me know and I'll take care of ya.

The whole shebang weighed 3#8oz, cost $7.05 Priority Mail, so my thought of a cheap little mailing box disappeared.

Holy cow you guys got this going PDQ. Have fun!

Good deal, No worries about the Mac, hope to have a few puts that will keep folks interested. This is shipping to my work address, so I will update all on Monday.

damn i missed out on this one too 😞

I Got the Box!!! WooHoo!! I will post my puts and takes tomorrow, and try to get back in the mail Tuesday or Wed!! Update tomorrow!!

Thanks again drnos!!! This is a blast!!

Archimark: I count 6 going in....Are you trying to overpack the tupperdor? LOL. Good plays, some interesting cigars going to MN next.

Is it too early in the game for me to start putting 'dibs' on the puts? JKOC

My heart sank when I read what Arch took out of the box...

But then I read what he put in!

I hope I can live up to the PIF standard now 😞

Merc

Yeah, I get the feeling that shipping weight might increase a touch as it moves along!! LOL!

I hope I didn't steal anyone's prize?

All of my puts are 'gars that I have really enjoyed, and I hope someone else does the same! Looking forward to seeing others puts and takes!!

OK Folks, Sorry about the delay, had to juggle the kids, the wife and about nine million other things, but the box is OUT THE DOOR!!!

Should be arriving at the next worthy recipients address in short order, I got happy and insured it, hope that doesn't mess anything up?

Anyway, thanks for the pass, keep my address for when I win the contest, and looking forward to hearing how the rest of the pass goes!!

Box went out this morning via USPS priority to Mrbuttman.

Merc

Three days early, by the way 😉

Any word from Aurora?
Yeah... I know, it's only been two days...

According to USPS: "Your item arrived at 6:17 am on April 07, 2004 in AURORA, IL"

I don't know if that means it was delivered yet.

tracking number: 0302 2940 0002 0878 4939

Merc

That usually means it arrived in the city for processing. Usually it means it will be delivered that day since it got there so early.

"DELIVERED 04/07/04 11:06am"

Mrbuttman, please confirm receipt. Thanks!

Merc
