I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks.

Box received right before I left for work, I did check some things out and have an idea of what I am going to put in play. I will putting in an extra package for Paul who is two stops from me as previously agreed between us. I will post my puts/takes tomorrow and ship out on Wednesday AM.

I have been contacted by BigPapi68 who wants to put some 'grab bag' cigars in. These are NOT part of the boxpass, per se, but just some 'gars he wants to part with. This is what I told him: there is excess room in the contest box since only 7 people are participating in the contest. So even if you are NOT participating in the contest, look in the contest box for a bag(s) labeled as "Grab Bag." If you see one, or if you want to start one, step right up. As I understand the grab bag concept, just take what you want, leave what you want, and no need to list the takes and puts here.

Puts
Macanudo Gold Label Shakespeare
Don Tomas Special Edition #300
Mayorga Gordita
Puros Indios Presidente
Cu-Avana Robusto
Victor Sinclair Revolution Predator
Rothman Bros Fundadores

Takes
Cohiba Red Dot Robusto
CAO Anniversary Maduro Bellicoso
Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Corona Grande
Sherpa Diablo Torpedo

There will be an extra package in the box for Paul, who is two stops ahead of me. I have to get a couple of things together for that package still for Paul and then I will send the box on its way tomorrow morning.

Just wanted to post that due to overcrowding I will be putting a bag or two from the boxpass into the contest box. They will be clearly marked as boxpass. I cleared this with drnos, and I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Alright, this thing is boxed up and ready to go out in the morning. Paul, your bonus is in there all bundled in bubble wrap. There are two boxpass bags that have been relocated to the contest box for elbow room, they should be clearly marked. Thanks for letting me play!

Ok, it's on its way to BigPapi86. DC 0303 2460 0000 0105 0475. Thanks again!

Ok now the grab bag is a bunch of cigars that I received that really aren't my type.Instead of tossing'em i asked Ken if I could include'em in the box.He mentioned the grab bag.
I put in some decent sticks(IMHO)in additon to the others so check out the bag and if you could post which one you smoked (if you did) and how did it do.

I'll try to send out the box tomorrow if I can find an open P.O.
my local one closes on Saturdays.

Greg- Thanks, I'll be looking for it. . . .
Just rolled into town with a sunburn, an empty wallet and a big smile. . . . .

Ken. . . . I see you won the Masters. . .congrats. . . .I'm going to send you a little sumthin. . . .

Alright Seth Gekko gets the box now,it went out this morning
priority mail DC # 0303 3430 0000 9515 9425
the grab bag is outside of the containers for space reasons,plenty of packing peanuts though so it should be alright.don't forget to try and post a review if you can (grab bag sticks)
All the goodies are packed well and should arrive in 1-2 days(or so the USPS clerks says)
btw the special package to Paul from NFL are nice and safe in the box.

Lookin forward to it. . . . .

Ken, have you thought about moving Cavallo up to the East Coast swing?

re Cavallo: I put him into the rotation before I had his address. Then when I got his addy, it looked like the box would backtrack a little, but not too badly. If he wants to go earlier, I am certainly not opposed.

Boxpass in, boxpass out. . . it's on it's way to Barry already. . . we're about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. . . DC 03102990000458823482

I did also grab one of the Flor De Filipinas from the grab bag, I should be trying it tonight, & I'll let you know. . . .

. . . got Greg's care package, thanks man. . . I'm gonna grow my hair long, & start bangin. . .


Box is filling up. . . . some of the contest sticks are in bags marked "boxpass", but I'm assuming they're just the bags being re-used. I also added a water pillow, as the foam-in-a-bag is starting to look a little anemic.

This is a lot of fun, thanks Ken. Could you put a message up on HP to let Barry know it's on it's way? It's just going down the road, so he may get it tomorrow.

BTW Ken: I was going to put your Masters winners in there, but space is starting to be at a premium. . . I'll get you out a separate package.

Glad you like it - and hope you like some of the selections.
