Low,

Right. There is a Host Bag with a sh&tload of sticks in it. There is another bag with all of the bonus sticks that folks have been dropping in. This is different from the Host Bag and the secret bag.

The way things are going, the host bag may need to increase in size, before the end of it's journey.

This boxpass has been a blast, even after the box was past me, it is fun keeping up with it on it's trip around the country.

All,

I will empty the "Host Bag" and mail the contents off to Docrks tomorrow so he can include them with his military shipment.

I am not touching the other two bags though.

Thanks for the help - hopefully this will also allow the sticks left in the box to "breathe" a little easier.

I pulled out all but 6 cigars from the Host Bag. I left those half dozen in for illustrative purposes for the rest of the box pass.

Roman, The host bag/military gars will go out today via priority mail along with your belated birthday cigars.

Thanks again for giving me this opportunity. This pass has been a blast and I look forward to Lowman's box pass!!

The box has flown the coop and is now in Dan's capable hands.

We had a good mini-herf and smoked one for you Roman.

I sent the host bag off via priority mail. You should receive them no later than Monday.

Congratulations on the Mini-Herf and thanks for the Honorary Smoke - as well as appreciate your forwarding the Host Bag for the Troops on early.

Looking forward to your publishing your TAKES and PUTS so we can all continue to follow the Progress of the PASS.

***** RE-ROUTE INSTRUCTIONS *****

JustDanD - Check your E-Mail Please and Confirm receipt of New Instructions ASAP...

As you know - we have recently had a Brother relinquish his participation in the PASS - However - another Esteemed Brother of the Leaf has now become a Brother of the PASS as well -- and his address fits very well geographically to be the next in line to get the PASS from Dan ----
So JustDanD --after you -- the PASS goes to
John Douglas --then on to Robby --

Robby - sorry to get your hopes up before - but you still retain your original place in line and as you know - John is a great trading Brother !!!

Aaaahhh. What a good night's sleep. Slept with all the cigars under my pillow.

Actually haven't opened it yet because I knew I would be up all night. Will publish puts and takes today and ship out Monday.

Thanks for the company and the smokes Matt. It was great seeing you again.

Dan -
Very nice play and a CLASS MOVE in not adding another Espendido to our list --You followed Rule # 1 ---do what is Fair !!!

That's why YOU were invited into this PASS and some others were advised that there was no room at the Inn !!

Now - since no good deed can go unpunished - at the end of the PASS after Billy has made his Virtual Selections (Takes and Puts) - you have the choice of any Habana left --from me to you !!

PS -This is a one time offer only made for Dan -- I know the boyz from Jersey are coming up and I can see them also "Not Adding a duplicate" and asking what their reward would be --- " I gotcha reward right heeere" Remember - I'm Jersey too --been there---done that !!
On a serious note - Dan, please increase the insurance coverage on the PASS up to $700 --it's only a few cents more and even at that -- we are under insured..

Gee... I feel special... Re-routing the pass just for little old me...
Don't want the pressure of screwing up...
Maybe I'll be the one to hand deliver the box to the good Doctor at the Deck Herf... I would be honored...

Low

BTW, each hand delivery in Jersey could become a Mini herf!! I think we're all within an hour or so from each other... Cooool...

Or we could ALL meet for a maxi herf every two days to hand off the box to each other !! LOL

Gee, Thanks Doc. I'm honored.

My wife went out and bought a large room humidifier because she was afraid our A/C would pull the box down. We'll be in Indy all day tomorrow for the NASCAR race and unable to monitor the humidity. Everything will be in good order when shipped out on Monday.

And we have priority lift-off.
Transfering tracking to Iowa station at John Douglas International.
Coordinates for tracking are:
0301 0120 0007 4377 7411

Be advised that the payload is fully insured at $700.

Please refrain from smoking these cigars until they arrive at their destination and the captain has turned on the smoking sign.

Until then, feel to move about your cabin with nervous anticipation of the arrival at IA station.

I hope the cigars have enjoyed their stay at my location as much as I enjoyed them being here.

I would like to give a special thanks to Mrs Doc for the excellent in-flight instruction manual and tags. I'd hire her if I had a business. Great Job.

Roger that transmission --Dan and Hoagie 55, I commend our Ohio Brethren of the PASS on the excellent way you have taken care of and quickly processed our PASS. Dan, the humidification concerns you attended to were above and beyond and are much appreciated ----GREAT Job.
HOOAH !!

PS --Mrs. Doc (or the Doc-ette) thanks you for the kind words. I really appreciate you noticing and commenting on Monica's contribution to the set up and organization of our PASS !!!!

Doc,

I forgot to mention this in with all the excitement at the arrival of the box, but my wife told me to pass on her appreciation of Mrs. Doc's organizational skills. I too was overly impressed with the way you'll set it up.

A BIG thank you to the Mrs. and if there's a cigar that she partakes in let me now and I'll do my best to acquire and send one to her.

Dan,

I figured that the box was heading your way anyway, so why not drop them in there.

While I can argue with you, I can't argue with the wife, it will only get us both in trouble. They always seem to win, so why put yourself through it.

I look forward to getting together with you again in the future. Hopefully I'll be feeling better the next time.

Rocco
