Yeah sorry. Reservation filled up a long time ago. Box is already past the halfway mark of travel and I’ve got way too much going on to take on the task of getting another person scheduled and up to speed on the process. Sorry. It looks like the handicap system that @Wertman , @shaffer22 And I have developed is a hit, though. I’d be shocked if someone else doesn’t pick up the mantle after this is complete, and organize another pass along the same lines as this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart23 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The box was dropped off at the post office on Friday and is on it's way to @Rhino, due to arrive on Monday! Sorry for the delay in posting this message; the last few days have been pretty busy, but I finally have some time while watching my sad Mets losing to the (ugh) Yanks.

Wow! Very generous of you @Rhino. Bravo. Good eye, Zee. I started making adjustments, then I realized something. Ya know what? The whole point of this is to hook up the newbs. If @Rhino feels comfortable ‘putting’ them at those values... let it ride. It’ll never hurt for a stick to end up being ‘bargain-priced’. Kudos to rhino, indeed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rhino Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 I’m looking at it like this...I’m trying a few cigars I haven’t before. If I put some of my humidor into the pass and if someone else gets to take one for a taste, all for the greater enjoyment of the group.

cfc1016 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 BIG props to @PrairieSmoke for getting the box out same day. Wednesday and Saturday arrivals are far preferable to Thursday and Monday arrivals. It means that the box spends its sundays in the care of an FOHer rather than in a USPS warehouse somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few nice old vitolas I was able to put in along with some nice REs from Spain and Portugal. But my stock is mainly regular production from the last 3-4 years so I had to put in enough to try and justify my takes. I tried to only put in sticks with at least 2 years age on them. I am eternally grateful for the incredibly generous vitolas that I will be able to try courtesy of BOTLs / SOTLs here. I could have put in 50 more of my regular stock cigars and still felt like I was getting a good deal! Special shout out to Colin for the ridiculous amount of work he put in on this.
