Oh Wise VW Man You are correct of course!
I take fault for this Keith I should have made it MUCH more clear, and not hung you out there on your own my bad. I messed up and as far as me being the ultimate authority, well just ask the "4 little people" about that. HOWEVER, lmao since you opened that door, I purpose this:
When doing your takes and puts Email the ENTIRE pass group, EXCEPT me and let the counsel make the ruleing, in case of a tie I will step in. Heck you guys have more experience and knowledge than I do and besdies I just woke up and need to get the 1st cup of coffe ...we ok with that? 🙂
LMK Rob

One other word of advice is If you are eyeing a special cigar in the pass and you have doubts as to what it will take to pry it loose. Pre-submit your trade idea to the group via e-mail to get feed back. It will limit your exposure to public embarassment.

:)

Hensed,
I don't worry about public embarassement (I do it enough), because if you can't make fun of yourself, then what good are you? You only learn from your mistakes, and I move on with that much more knowledge.
If others have concerns, they too can e-mail me with advise, like a couple BOTL did.
If I've messed up to the point that some don't want to trade with me, thats fine, cause I'm toning down anyways. I've had too many positive trades to let one bad apple spoil my pie.

good advice Hensed. What I have done in those circumstances is e-mailed the person who put the gar asking for a value. Then I double check with the pass owner. In this case Rob has deferred to the committee.

Knof I don't have any concerns. Looks to me like this has been handled in a gentlemanly fashion. Carry on.

Knof, don't consider this a bad apple. We all live and learn my friend or we die. The postings are advice for all. Many noobs read these threads in anticipation of their first pass.

The discussion benefits many of us.

Oo Crap if thats a BAD APPLE I'M Pulling the CART!! :

I've had my am coffee I'm ready 🙂

Rob has had his coffee, and he is ready to punch some kittens and kick some puppies.

Oh crap, Longman is on the phone.....his rabbit saddle is not fitting, and he wants to come over.

GOT IT!!!

Made it to my work today, sent a all-members e-mail with a question, plan on posting my plays tomorrow and if all is copasetic, re-mailing Friday!

Until I get home, just going to crack the bag every few minutes and inhale the wonderful aroma!! Great extra Rob, will be sharing that at a mini-herf this weekend!!

OH YA, was I suppose to talk about that special little box??? Well I love it and it was soooooooooooo unexpected from you Rob. Do to that, you will need to take shelter, . . . soon. With or without the little ones, heheheeeee.

Knof

More Drama,

last night as I was re-loading the box I realized that both of the glass tubed RyJ's had broken, so I will be keeping both of them and putting in another pair of RyJ's that are larger. If anyone had their heart set on trying the Dream Tubos, please let me know, and I will personally buy a box and ship you one with my compliments. I will be picking the glass out of these two/repairing the wrapper, and I am sure they will smoke just fine. (getting quite accomplished at repairing cigars.)

The box is now in the care of the USPS, on its way to Mr. Jackson in Waco Texas, and out of my unsteady hands. My final puts and takes are;

Take/Put

Ashton VSG torp- Padron Imperial Maduro

Fuente Between the Lines- Cigar to be placed by BassDude later (Thank you!.)

Fuente Anejo 55- Fuente Opus X Double Corona

Buccanero Salsa- La Aurora Preferido #3

Indian Tabac Perfecto- Torano 59 Exodus Torp


RyJ Dreams (2) - RyJ 1875 (7x48 ?)

- RyJ Vintage (6.5 x 50?) (got both in trade, not totally sure of the vitola.)

And just because I am such a tool I added;

-Torano 59 Silver

-Torano Reserva Selecta Robusto Tubo (it is glass, watch out!!)

-Cohiba Extra Vigoroso



I didn't take anything from the ISOM bag



I added two bags with four MM ISOM's each for Private Trades with Homebrew and Bassdude, those eight gars are;

Partagas Aristocrat
Upmann Magestics
Por Larranaga Lolas en Cedro
RyJ Perfectos

And last, but not least, I added ten or so bags of personalized Potpouri to hide the scent of the sheep thongs in the SLB.

Thank you all for letting me partake!

And you know the crazy thing? I am thinking of starting a Budget Box Pass now…...

This is really not the way to run a box pass...but it sure is funny and interesting... Kieth yours should there today, Marks yours Monday or Tuesday..
Now lets see what happens!!!! Back east 🙂

Your weary host
Rob

Yes Rob, I did get your extra special little package on Friday. I have been up at the races at Sears Pt. (Infineon) Raceway all weekend and haven't been on the computer.

You are too kind Rob, and you will pay my friend, heheheeee!!!
