I decided to re package the pass box. Nothing wrong with how it was packaged really just needed a refresh and it was kind of bulging at the seams. Chris asked me to post pics to show people what I d

Thanks mate - Trade Approved!. I Appreciate the quick shipment to @Newkarian! Hopefully we can avoid the hurricane with the next trade!

A note for all - when putting a tubos in the pass, please remove the Cigar from the tube when taking the picture, we need to see the cigar itself!

Thanks @SloppyJ, Trades Approved!

Folks, to be clear - The box pass has got a great selection of everything except PC's right now - pretty much all the Petit Coronas are gone from the pass, so I asked SloppyJ to put in a 2-for-1 trade, with two PC's going in for the PSD4.  Normally, 2-for-1's are not allowed, but in this case to get more PC's into the pass, I allowed it.

Also, a huge shout out to @Tave1225 for throwing in an entire ERDM box for everyone to sample. That was super generous and I didn't see it mentioned in the thread yet (i could have missed it). Thank you brother!! 

I just got the go ahead from Chris to forward the box to @boopdeep. Get ready, It's heading your way this afternoon. 

The entire pass and the generosity shown by the group has meant a lot to me. It's awesome to see that there are still some great people left in this world. Thank you for letting me participate with my more juvenile cigar collection. Some of you guys have got some serious stock. I'm jealous.

@Tave1225, that was extraordinarily generous - thanks for adding that in to the pass for everyone!  A fantastic gesture, in the best form of Box Pass Generosity :) 

Yes indeed - I am really glad that @boopdeep.can continue with us, after all that Hurricane Harvey threw his way in Houston.  Thanks for sticking with us, brother!

Lastly, Boosted has had some technical difficulties, but he's back in contact now and he'll be in the pass after the Houston crew, before we continue to AZ and California!

Very awesome gesture indeed! I almost mentioned it when I re packaged the box but decided to just keep it a secret. @tave1225 I was shocked to open up a dress box I thought contained more pass sticks and saw a full box of ERDM. Great job.

Sorry to ruin the surprise! On the other hand, your re-pack job looked great. Everything was in great condition.

Haha! @sloppyj It wasn't intended to come out as you being the surprise ruiner. Just wanted to share my experience with the surprise it was to me to open a box I thought had pass sticks in it to find an entire aged box of ERDM. A shock for sure--a most legendary add to the pass!

Thank you Chris. The amount of work that goes into putting this together is astounding. Thank you for the time you dedicate to this pass. You should have some of the Choixs arrive to you if all goes well. 

My pleasure mate!  I don't mind running these, especially when they go as smoothly as this one has so far!  Mrs. Schmerr might have something to say about my time spent on emails but I can manage that ....mostly :lookaround: :rotfl:

It would be cool to try one of the Choixs if any make it back to me, definitely!  That said, I want the guys in the pass to have first dibs obviously!  Make sure you avail yourself of the opportunity, guys!

You've added some certainly desirable RE's into the pass - I'm sure they will be popular!
