Well it looks like there is a little problem with mailing the box out today. Something about someone discovering this part of the world over 500 years ago that they feel they need to close everything down today. The box will be sent on its way tomorrow.

Hey mitb,
!!!!Threadjack On!!!!
Actually Amerigo Vespuci, I think I spelled that right, actually discovered the new world ealier than Columbus, but that is another thread.
!!!!Threadjack Off!!!!
Looks like a great play on the pass though.

Homebrew, But the Feds don't give a day off for Amerigo Vespuci day. :)

I was going to mail the box on my way home from work today but people here in Pgh seem to have a problem driving in the rain so everything was so backed up it took me 3 times as long to get to the PO. Needless to say it was closed when I got there. It will be sent tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Tinman, you ready for the box?

got the pass in TX!!!!

Will do my takes/puts tonight and post tomorrow.

Question/comment. . .the inventory list and take/put procedure doesn't seem to be very precise. No offense, but I just don't want to do takes/puts and have the next person not find something in the box that is on the inventory list and somebody who has already got their turn be suspect. Is it ok if I clean up the inventory list and take/put procedure a little?

Well, hope things are well with the guys in the pass. Haven't heard anything so I left the inventory list as is (I just hope I didn't lose it).

Messed around and left the list and the route at home. Here is what I remember...

Takes
LPH Black Pearl
Avo Domaine
Trilogy Exotic Maduro
CAO Maduro
IT Gorilla Cameroon

Puts
Partagas Black
CAO Criollo
Gurkha Ltd Exp Toro
Torano 1959 Silver Pyramid
Can't remember the last one...really sorry for the shoddy work.

According to an early email, Rick Renken is next on the route since Txredneck is out. I'll send out tomorrow. I'll try my damnedest to check the board before in case I'm wrong.

I have not received the pass yet. I was home Friday afternoon because I thought it should be here by then, but no delivery. I left town and came back tonight and no delivery. I haven't received notice that they tried to deliver it. I'm going to my are hun in the morning to make sure they are trying to deliver to the right house. I know my mail works, I had a package from cbid and hokiebama waiting for me. I'll track it down in the morning and post the results.

Since I'm sure hensed's probably gotten the box pass by now, and so it won't be spoiling the surprize, I'll guess I'll ask this...

What did everyone think of my little piece of artwork on the tupperdor in the box pass? Did you all sign your name and forum handle?

Thanks guys for making this a great pass.

ikon, the artwork was great. It was cool to open the box up and see it. Great idea by the way. I did sign it and hopefully it will come out clear in one of the pix at Heinz Field.

BTW are you going to post the pix here after the box returns home?

It looks as if the pass is almost through. I don't know about you guys, but I had a lot of fun!

What did you think of the tupperdor art, Hensler?
