Santiago and I having a smoke and handing off the box. I’m the handsome one in case you’re wondering. Will have puts/takes later today. 

Alright gentlemen I have received the box at the house where my humidor is currently located.  I am in the middle of relocating and it is a flaming pain in the ass.  No chore on God's green earth is m

i tried one before (xxx) almost lost my lunch.  Smoked great just really powerful 
I've smoked a couple now and thouroghly enjoyed them. I must say, I have never been nauseous or woozy from smoking a cigar. Even after I've been drinking and decide to have a padron 1926, which some people say are nic bombs.

I think the Power Rangers are much better flavor wise and have a little more nicotine in them. That's just my opinion but I've smoked many of the XXX and 1926 NO.35

Pass box is safely in my hands now. I think the Postal Service misread[mention=31116]crankyanker[/mention] s intention when he put 2 day shipping on it and decided to have someone walk it the 200 miles in just over 5 days. Have some tough decisions to make here. Will try to get out tomorrow if not it will go by Thursday for sure. Thanks!

Hey guys just a little update.  @Santiago is going on vacation and will have to be skipped and we will add him back at the end.  Also we have has multiple people drop out and @leemack912 has not responded to my emails so he will most likely be skipped.  Also @JLFIRST has been active on this thread and was the first to ask to jump in if anyone dropped out.  I say we add him at the end.  So the box pass will end up in Florida then to New Jersey for @Santiago then off to Lousville KY with @JLFIRST.  Also since Barry dropped out there was one other member @fastkiller13 is from Jersey we will add him at the end as well.  Is everyone ok with that?

[mention=31338]leemack912[/mention] good to see yah brother I was worried.  I'm glad your here.  Of course I want one of the biggest reviewer for cigars on YouTube to be a part of my box pass.  It's awesome.  Cool man I feel better you were able to reach out.  
Ok . Can you shoot me an email So I can make sure I'm getting them. This is the first time in a long time that I have seen notifications from this app.

Ok here we go. Sorry for the delay. I talked it over with[mention=30668]wertman[/mention] and I just couldn’t stand to see 7 damaged cigars. Possible cause I see could be from cigars going from cold outside to warm dry inside air. Mishandling/packaging doesn’t seem to be issue here. I encourage anyone to let the box rest a bit to warm up some before opening it up (hard to resist the temptation I know!)..

 

However, I’ve received permission from Joe to remedy this...so here’s my Puts and Takes. I will get them banded up and get it out tomorrow. Thanks for allowing me to participate!

The guy that created the PerfecDraw tool also has a product called PerfecRepair. I have used it twice to varying degrees of success, it’s on sale right now for only $8 direct on his site or you can get it on the king of online retail’s site. It does work to a certain extent, not perfectly, but I’ll bet it improves the smoking experience of those damaged sticks. Uses a food grade glue.

All I can say is wow @zeedubbya put in some amazing cigars and the HOLY GRAIL the Des dieux and the LGC 02. I mean wow.   Zane I can't thank you enough I hope you enjoy the birthday year cigar (epi 2).  Now off to @NYMets01.  Have fun with that I am so excited to see where this goes from here.  The level of cigars are just blowing me away.  And to see everyone able to pick out and get some nice aged stuff is just awesome.

I second this. I've used it several times and while not perfect it will definitely save a beat up cigar. You can use it to glue a cigar thats unrolling or just use it to fill cracks and holes. It dries with a white film that doesn't look great but it doesn't change the taste at all.

Hi All- Sorry for the delay in posting. I got the box (beautifully packaged, by the way) from zeedubbya on Monday and was leaving the next day for some work travel.

So in an effort to make sure it quickly got on to the next person, I worked with Joe that day to get some trades approved and the box out for delivery on Tuesday AM.

I'm not sure if others felt this way but there was this amazement coupled with complete terror when I first opened the box! Amazed and overwhelmed about the great stuff that others before me put in and terror when I realized that my small, newbie collection seems so insufficient.

I hope others will enjoy what I put in as much as I am looking forward to trying what I took out.

TAKES:
LGC MDO2 (MUR MAR 13) 
Parti Lusi (BUT MAY 12)
Trinidad Coloniales (ARS JUN 17) 
Bolivar Tubo 1 (ETP MAR 16)

PUTS:
Montecristo 80th Aniversario (RUM AGO 17) 
Parti Maduro 1 (SOM MAR 17)
Montecristo 2 (UBN JUL 17)
HU Half Corona (SOM MAR 17)
HU Magnum 54 (MEG AGO 16)
Juan Lopez Sel 2 (OPS NOV 16)

The box is now off to TAVE1225. Enjoy!

I just hope there's more people that are generous enough to keep the rare sticks flowing for the rest of us towards the end of the pass. Some great stuff happening with this pass! Keep up the good work.
