Newbie Box PASS 2017/2018


Recommended Posts

Ok - inventory, unpacking, puts/takes have been approved and all are repacked and ready to go out to steelcity tomorrow. So happy to be a part of this box pass. There are so many great sticks in this box! Everyone should be very proud! My additions are some of my favorites over the last few months, outside of the Monte A which I haven't tried yet. I hope someone enjoys these as much as I have. Wertman - thanks so much for putting this together! Well done, sir...

Best, Ryan

Cheers Mike! I was wondering where the inventory sheet was, I thought it may have been in the box but couldn't find it. I'll update the inventory and send it out to steelcity and Wertman. Again, great meeting you today and please do reach out if I can ever help with anything. 

Best,

Ryan

So Stoked!!!!! Only one person and then I'll get to see this box with all if it's superb cigars! I'm really looking forward to adding some great aged, 15 to 20 years, habanos. There are some GREAT cigars to choose from and a couple I can't wait to try. Really happy to be a part of this incredible box pass!

I received the box today. This thing looks to be bomb proof. I hope to make my selections tonight and check in with @Wertman.

Been awhile since I received one of those. I used to have a 75 gallon salt until the auto doser went ape shit on the Mg and Ca. I miss the fish but not the $$$ into it. 

One of the benefits of joining a local awuarists club - I don’t buy livestock retail. Retail value... I’ve got a nice used car worth of coral in that tank (120 gallon mixed reef)  I’ve only actually spent $3k on the entire system though (equipment and livestock in total - not factoring man hours ?). I don’t do any dosing or anything. Just a beefcake skimmer, big fuge and ATO, with regular addition of zoo/phytoplankton, and occasional low level addition of lugol’s, kent calcium/strontium/molybdenum

Yeah, that was brilliant.

What postal carrier wants to be responsible for killing fish by flinging the box at your porch doing a 30MPH drive-by?

It happens!

I’ll definitely be using a livestock shipping container for the next boxpass. It atleast improves the chances of careful-ish handling.

Yea, there's something else here. Did you pay extra for insurance?
