I know better, I didn't say that. I just stuffed it so much you really can't fit anything in.

The takes look very interesting and the puts are incredible. Glad Palama was first pick, he put some well aged gold bricks in that sucker!

Dang it! ram27bat

Shoulda tried earlier but now that I'mma packing the box up and making sure the cigars will be safe during their l-o-n-g journey to Florida, I'mma gonna hafta admit that the dang box is too small for all the shenanigans I was planning. So, one of two choices, either cutback / eliminate almost all of that OR go big and use a LFR instead. The bump up from MFR to LFR is about $6.

Decisions, decisions.

Also thinking that once Robert gets the box, he can rightsize it.

Definitely gotta ponder.

Haha, the ones I picked? Braddah, they ain't NUTHIN' compared to what's still there. Not talking

My goal was to try new stuff. There are some *really* nice cigars but I've already had most of them so wanted to "broaden my horizons."

Moving on to Robert:

DC: 9405830109355089394036

I noticed that the USPS no longer puts a delivery date but hoping the box gets to FL at least by Friday.

I tried to track it by USPS, but that wasn't a valid tracking number.
USPS or someone else? Wrong number???

I was able to track it, it looks like the label was created and USPS is waiting for the package. So I'm assuming he will drop it off today.

I went down to the PO yesterday but the parcel receptor was locked so couldn’t drop off the box. d'oh!

The box will definitely be dropped off today.

Delivery today expected due to USPS email.
Should be able to get it out by Saturday (or it will have to wait until Thursday, for which I would be sorry, but I'll be out of town.
Excited to see what is in the box. My puts are probably going to include mostly Havanas!

Delivered!!!

Amazing collection of quality sticks to the extent that it probably took me 30 minutes to winno out five I'd like to try; all non-cuban. Called and texted Cheno to approve my puts and takes.

If I talk to Cheno today, I'll get it out today. Otherwise, tomorrow...

Done. DC# 9505 8152 4598 4117 1516 54
Delivery on Monday.

Housekeeping suggestions:

1. Palama sent me a very nice single cigar. I did the same for the next recipient. Consider it going forward, if you can.
2. Need a new box.
3. Please contribute to the host's gift bag.
4. Lots and lots of high-end/rare/hard-to-find/excellent cigars left for everyone!
5. USPS 2nd day delivery only includes $100 insurance. I bumped it up to $500 and that probably wasn't nearly enough for what is in there. Consider buying extra insurance.

Thank you to Palama for his special gifts, which we can discuss next week.

Most of all, thanks to Cheno for the best quality box-pass I have ever seen!

Thank you! And I appreciate the host bag, but please feel free not to add to it. I am doing this because of the rare, hard to find, high ends that some of us might not find or get a chance to have normally and I want to share. I made a list of most of the cigars I sent, I'm looking forward to see if any of them come back based on take/puts. I'm also loving hearing the reactions when people open the box and see what's inside.

I’d totally concur. ThumpUp

As I looked at bag after bag of premium and super premium cigars, I was floored! This pass could have easily been called “Elitist Box Pass v2.0” fo’ sure!
