All the talk of napkins of truth and candy wrappers scared erjaq off. I'll post takes n puts tomorrow and send the box to frozenphoenix. PM your addy, bro.

After much deliberation, here are my takes and puts:

Takes:
Fallen Angel
Herrera Esteli
JdN Joya Red
La Flor Dominicana Suave
Papas Fritas
Partagas Benji


Puts:
H Upmann Mag 46, cc
Ramon Allones Extra, Ed Ltd 2011, cc

CyB Lonsdale Club
Diamond Crown Maximus
Jericho Hill
San Cristobal Elegancia
Sindicato Hex


And a "Thank You" gift for vanzandt, who organized the pass and let me have a turn.



If this is OK, I'll send the box along to frozenphoenix. I found his addy...

Good and thank you much

Full disclosure: when I opened the box, trying to cut the duct tape, it got damaged and had to be replaced. When I removed the packing materials from the bottom of the old box, I saw a used balled up paper napkin/tissue wedged inside the folds of the bubble wrap. I was too squeamish to touch it...and was not going to put on the blue gloves either. I shoved the packing bubbles with the napkin tucked inside, along with the blue gloves, into the bottom corner of the new box. For the next player, I put in some isopropyl alcohol sanitizing handi-wipes, then another layer of packing bubbles..........

No worries about the cigars - they are safely stashed in ziplocks and then in plastic containers and the Hillbilly traveldor.................Good luck frozenphoenix....

I love that everyone left this nast used tissue in the box

This is lost mo

This is not lost... just got put on the back burner... now its all ashes.

You couldn't smoke that many cigars in one week..............................................................................................can you?

Well, if you noticed, Joe hadn't posted anything on the board for a whole week...so yeah, 43 (...or whatever the number is...) cigars in 7 days? Highly do-able if you concentrate on smoking and not posting on the forum.... [gonzo]
