Nice...
Man that was fast Buzz you get the cigars in and ship the same day.:smiley20:
:smiley20:
Good show Buzz! Thanks.
Nice looking sticks and crazy fast turn around there Buzz!
I'm not that good - the sticks go out today, I just paid for the shipping already on usps.com so I had the DC #s early and figured I better post them before I lose them.Quote:

sweet deal, they look yummy...I can sure go for a nice strong cigar right about now.
Got payment from Cyris today. He sent a MO last week, which never showed up (my guess is the envelope fell under the seat). When I PM'd him about it he immediately sent a replacement check, which arrived today. Good communication, thanks Cyris. :smiley20:
mail man... what's up with USPS always trying to mess with me? Those dang punks steal my bourbon and now they are taking Lucas' money! What do you think the chances are that the MO won't be found and he will be out $20? :smiley21:
-Buzz
Can the money order not be cancelled and refunded?Quote:

Thank you Buzz.
It can at a cost of 15 bucks and some paperwork.... I called the number and it hasn't been cashed, my only guess is that it might have gotten shuffled off to the wrong post office or something and will show up later? Then again, maybe it takes awhile after its cashed for the automated phone deal to update with a "cashed" status.Quote:

Cyris (Lucas)
Sure can, for a $15 fee :smiley24:Quote:

That is if it is a postal money order...otherwise???

Wow, I didn't realize that the post office did money orders.. no, it was Money Gram (Circle K) =/Quote:

Mystery of the missing Money Order has been solved. They returned it with a "Return to Sender". I am unable to figure out what part of this they had issue with, but what can you do!
Packaging was good, but I think our mail guys around here have issues! 2 of the cigars look good, but one of them looks like it was stepped on. Not much can be done about that... at least one of them will be good for the review!
Thanks again for putting this together Buzz!
Glad it is found, are you going to be able to cash it? If not, you can send it to me (hopefully it won't get lost) and I will cash it and send you cash back (or sticks).Quote:

I can either send a sampler or if you want I can PM you a list of my cigars and you can choose. Let me know.Quote:

No worries. I guess I just had some bad luck this week. Better that the bad luck was on this stuff and not other stuff =)
Buzz, I got my sticks in yesterday, and they all looked really good, I don't know If I can wait for them to cool off in the humi :smiley36:.
Keith
Buzz I got my sticks today as well, they look very fine. Looking forward to the opportunity to review it. Thanks! Roger.
Here is a thought...If the same guys agree to do this all the way through why not kick in five or so extra dollars on each purchase. Then the last purchase we could get a really nice box of cigars to review.
I'm down with that idea.:smiley37:Quote:

But participant #2 likes powerful sticks and has some cash to blow - he buys 3 of cigar C and 5 of cigar D. And so on, as long as I can find homes for every cigar that is purchased. The more participants we have, the more likely I find homes for all the sticks.
I am going to put my thinking cap on and talk with Miguel about this... it might be easier to keep track of if we had a page dedicated for the Mega Review.
By the way, I would like to throw two more options into the ring for the next round: JdN Antano Dark Corojo and El Triunfador Lancero (from Pete Johnson). These are both full strength sticks, the JdN is around $7/stick and the Triunfador is around $8/stick
If any of you guys have some ideas on all this I am all ears - and if someone thinks that this should be run by a more established member I won't be offended at all. It is pretty cool to get to organize something like this and I appreciate the opportunity, but when we start talking about larger dollar amounts I don't want people to feel nervous about sending money to a newbie from AZ. PM me any suggestions or comments you have, or just post them here.
Have a great weekend guys!
-Buzz
IMHO you are pretty well established here. I'll vouch for you any day. You are perfectly capable of handling this. I'll be glad to help if you need it.
I'll go for the JdNs or the Trifunador. The new Trifunador is a new blend. It's different than the original.
Sticks arrived today. Thanks Buzz.
Ditto.Quote:

Not trying to rush you guys along but....hurry the hell up! I missed the first round somehow and I want to get in on this. But seriously, next time you feel like doing one of these put my name in the hat please.
Looking forward to seeing the reviews up.
Review sent yesterday buzz. Thanks again. I want in on the next one too unless you aren't going to allow twice in a row to allow the other guys a chance to play, which I totally understand! :smiley37:
