Robby - I feel for you bro, So, here's My Offer to You - Take what you want from the box.

Post your takes and I will post the puts. In addition, I will forward the puts tomorrow morning to the next person in line.

That is of course if Docrks agrees with this.

Regards,


B

yikes! Thanks for the offer. The eagle has left the nest though :-( Tracking# VA025189695US. Insured for 700. I'll just have to swing a few trades on the side (and of course send Doc his courtsey sticks).

Really sorry about the creepy crawler (now hopefully deeply chilled !!!) After your humi is back and running - pls LMK and I'll find a way of making you feel like part of the PASS !!! Don't forget - You can always join us for the Deck Herf !!!!

Billy -
You continue to exemplify the definition of what a CLASS act is !!! Don't forget - you still are in line for the "VIRTUAL PASS" when this box comes home to Jersey ---

Can you hear the Eagle flapping as it flies up North from GA to PA ?????

Billy,
Class act on your part. I suggested to Robby that maybe he could do a "vertual Put and Take" similar to what you will be doing. I think we all would like to see him included in some fasion.
I also would be happy to supply some of the Puts for his Takes.

Don't come to a decision re the Deck Herf just yet -- the PASS still has a while before it comes home to rest -- and as you know, Lowman is off on vacation --- so we are all still hoping to be able and see you at the end of the PASS on the DECK !!!

Kiss that new baby for us - from all her "UNCLES" of the PASS !!!!

Oh, I might not say much but I am watching. I stand back and take it all in.

I thought we were going to do the deck herf when I got the box. I was going to bring it into NJ. But if the herf is going to be in Sept. I should have no problem getting there.

DJ -
With the requirements brought about by the new baby and the extra help your wife needs right now - I made the Exec Call that you'll mail the Box to Jersey to PT -- Soon after that - Lowman returns from Vacation - then I'm away for a few days, etc, etc -- so I think the safest bet will be we have the deck herf when the box is back here -- the last few stops in Jersey will probably be hand offs anyway - but I want each Bro. of the PASS to have his own time with the PASS and not do a communal night's PUTS and TAKES....
Plus in Sept - there is a stronger chance of having you come up and join us !!!!

Do you have a tentative date on the deck herf? I might be in Bridgeport or Philly in September. I don't think that's too far from you guys.

docrks,

I am ready! (Wow... I have been thinking about my takes and puts for quite a few weeks now, and I am still not sure!?!?!? Now this really make me nervous!) I am willing to drive the box for a in person hand off to where-ever you wish! Please build in a little extra time for me because my time is still not fully my own... Ropeman understands all about this now, I am sure!

Ropeman, my email address is below, please drop me a note when your ready and I will shoot you all my snailer info, if you do not already have it! Also, I want to again wish you the very best with your new baby! Ours is just coming up to four months old and she has been a real joy! It's the hardest job you will ever love!

Sleep... HA!... it's highly overrated!

Cheers,

PT ;-)

Pete,

I always understood, this is my 2nd little girl. Which makes it alittle harder. We have a 20 month little girl running around. ( I am in charge of her) The wife gets the new born.

I will let everyone know when the eagle lands. I will turn it around as fast as I can. So stay alert Pete, no napping.zzzzz

Gentlemen, I misunderstood a rule and made a bonehead swap with a partagas 150. I have no excuse and I will make it right tonight and post my corrections. Doc I sincerely appreciate you bringing it to my attention and it will be corrected. Gentlemen I only hope this will not exclude me from future passes. Doc took a chance allowing me to participate due solely to the fact that I too am a Paratrooper and I will make it right. Mark

Michael -
There are as many answers to your question as there are people who organize these things... If you look to this trade board - you will see currently 3 Passes and at least 2 more to start up in the near future. When they are announced - apply for entry and the PASS organizer will be glad to forward you their rules.
For general discussions on Box PASSES - check the archives on this forum --- there have been a lot of postings on the workings of a PASS.
Good Luck ----- DocRKS

Ok. Ropeman are you ready? The Mothership has left, it is insured , and the # is 0303 0130 0001 3399 3648.
I returned the PARTAGAS 150A in the UL, took a Diamond crown mad torp and put a PAM 64 Torp in its place. As for the rest, it remains the same. Since I delayed the package I put in some more smokes for our troops. Also, ropeman be on the lookout for a smaller arrival from me to you!

I am ready when you are. Please take your time and enjoy the moment. The aroma when opening the box must be heaven!

DocRKS,
Please advise as to who gets to box after me. Am I to hold till the Deck Herf (which is fine), or do I hand deliver to a lucky gent? I am ready to assist in any way needed!

Cheers,

PT ;-)

Class Move - once again, proud to have you as a Brother of the PASS !!!!! and so say we all !!

PT --after new Daddy Ropeman smokes one in honor of the latest little string in the Rope family - the PASS comes to you --- The next stop is Greg (Lowman) - either by mail or hand off if possible -- I want every Brother of the PASS to have the same experience of going over all the contents in their own time and at their own places.
The Deck Herf will assemble as the PASS comes home to me --- Hopefully, Big Jeff will hand deliver it to our site !!!

THIS IS GETTING EXCITING now even for me !!!!

OK,,,Put/Takes are done. I couldnt wait any longer. They would have been done earlier but someone didn't want to cooperate. Before I post, if anyone has a problem with my puts/takes please dont hestiate to say something. Here we go:

Puts ............. Takes
HABANA

Vegas Robina Famosos ........... Bolivar Robusto
Montecristo Tubos ............. Cohiba Esplendido
H. Upmann #2 ................. Gurkha Estate Reserve
H. Upmann Singulares ........... None
Montecristo #4 ................ None

ULTRA PREMIUMS

Diamond Crown #2 ............... Graycliff Special Ed.

SUPER PREMIUMS

Opus X FF XXX ................. PAM Series 1964 Torp.
Oneoff Julieta ................. CAO Spl Ed. 65th Ann.

PREMIUM

Don Carlos #2 ................. CAO Maduro Tube # 2
Ashton VSG Enchantment ......... Oliva Ovation Maduro

OK, as I was doing this I just realized I took the Gurkha Estate and put a Habana. The Gurkha was in the Habana bag and I didn't even realize it wasn't. So, if no one cares, I am going to let this go. Also, the final 2 Habana's are correct, I put them w/o taking. They are smaller cigars. Like I said, if anyone has a problem with my puts/takes please let me know right away.

Pete, the box will be on the way to you tomorrow. I know I have your address somewhere but please send it to me again.([email protected]) Thanks...
Also, if it is ok, I am going to send out the box Fed Ex next day. This is what my work uses to ship boxes. I will still insure it. If anyone has a problem with that please let me know.

Boy, did I ramble on in this post. So, one more thing. Roman, thanks for letting me in this pass. You did a great job organizing it. I did a box pass before and realize how hard it is to organize and run smoothly.
Great Job !!!!

Thanks for the swift processing of the PASS -- yes the Gurkha Habana question was raised - but your offer of 2 Bonus Habana's in addition makes this a FAIR deal and a very good play.
The day I have waited for is finally at hand -- the PASS is returning back to JERSEY !!!!

Hooah !!!
