Knock your socks off... and I'll swap out your tupperware after the end (will include a little something for your trouble) - so my wife doesn't scowl at me. :smiley2:
I had good tutelage on setting the pass up so props to Basil, BKC, and BigMac for that.
Hold the bus ya'll!! I saw my name at the top of the list days ago, but didn't think. I'm in south Louisianna for the rest of this week fishing. Please hold off til Friday, or better, Monday, before you mail it to me. Or, if you want to skip me and come back later, that's cool too. Really, I've had priority mail delivered w/in two days up east, Utah, Midwest, etc. So it probably won't matter if it zigzags instead of going south first. Thanks and I'll see ya'll when I get back!
It's no trouble at all man, don't sweat it. You got that mofo packed tight. I'm just afraid if a couple of guys throw in some large smokes you're gonna run out of room.Quote:

No worries basil, just let me know when you're ready. Mauied1101 if you want to change up the order to keep it movin let me know. I'm cool either way.Quote:

Snapped the pics today. Now for the put/takes. I've been eyeballing the A.F. Anejo. All I have comparable in price that's not ISOM would be a D.C. Maximus robusto #5 or an Ashton VSG robusto. I have an Opus X robusto but there's already a Fuente Fuente in the pass. I know they are all pretty close in MSRP but the Anejo is little harder to come by. Let me know if this isn't a good swap.
My other put/take will be a R.P. Edge for the I.T Super Fuerte.
Desert Rat, are you ready for the pass?
Here they are...
Both passes meet for a quick photo at the kitchen table.

The shell lei and the Anejo have a date at Graceland(sorry, had to do it).
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...F/3796a9f3.jpg
The Graceland picture didn't turn out like I expected. That's the best I could do and still get the cigar and lei in the photo.
Nice touch adding the site addy to the wall.

That's awesome
Excellent..........
On the P/Ts... will have to defer to BKC, Basil, BigMac, or anyone that knows more than I... Anejos are definitely harder to find for me, but wiser guys are needed. I don't mind multiple Opus in the box or an ISOM, but that'd be your call WOXOF. RP Edge for ITSF is fine.
I'm a ready Fredie, just sent your PM back with my addy and have recieved Smokin DVM's addy.Quote:

I would say to put the Opus Robusto in for the Anejo. IMO, the VSG or DCM are much easier to find...the Opus for Anejo swap would be fine though. CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY OPUS!!!:smiley20:Quote:

So it looks like
4. AF Anejo Reserva #48 for AF Opus... ? #15 for the new Opus
14. IT Super Fuerte Maduro for the RP Edge #16?
Which Opus? Fire away............ I'll update the first page.
Nice P/Ts and nice pictures. CS will now be alive in numerous Graceland pics... :smiley20:
It's the Opus Robusto. P.M. received, Mauied and Desert Rat. Package will go out tomorrow afternoon provided there's no negative feedback on the swaps.
Looks good to me also..... get that sucker rolling again.....
Too late for negative feedback, I already updated the first page. :smiley36: :smiley36: :smiley36:Quote:

Mauied, thanks for having me. I'll be sure to be around for the next one! :smiley1:
James, thanks for covering for me. You know I'll get you one of these days! :smiley2:
And it is with a sad farewell that we bid goodbye to Hefty on this pass... and yet it is with fond gladness that we welcome SLC back to the pass in hopes that he can share his freakin' nice stash with the rest of us... how's that for waxing poetic? :smiley2:Quote:

Glad to hear the pass made it in good shape.
basil, how was the fishin trip? Did ya catch any of those rare trout bass hybrids?:smiley36:
lmao - was in south LA - ya never know what those cajuns are gonna come up with! We had a lot of fun - did well with speckled trout and the red fish were moving. The two big reds were 32" and 34". The former landed pretty quick, and the latter took about 20 minutes to put on the bank. I ate like a large pig. Smoked some nice cigars. It was great.Quote:

Attached are my pics taken today. The first one is of the most common desert varmit we have around here. The rex is a real pest, gets in the garden, shits on the lawns, and eats small children. The second is in a local B&M. I didn't have the huevos to brings the gars into the shop for the pics.
My son and I had such a good time taking the pass pics we shot a few more to let you guys get a little more desert "flavor".
The first is a fun contrast. In June and July, a person can take a tram from the desert floor, where the temp can be 110, to the snow on the mountain in the back ground. Right now it over 100 and theres probably 3-4 feet of snow on that peak.
The next two are pics of a common cash crop raised in the desert. The plants shown in the picture actually grow wild and act as natural electrical wind generators. The ones shown are about 150 feet tall. All the farmers have to do is attach wires to the roots of the plant and harvest the electricity. These are a favorite forage of the Rex.
The last pic is my house and the neighborhood we live in. Note the hardy "Rex" fence around the houses to keep the pesky varmits out.

Excellent plays and great pics DR. :smiley32: Very generous for the lucky SOBs coming up. SmokinDVM's gonna have some fun. :smiley4:Quote:
