If she got it in the mail on Saturday, it should be to Marc by Monday. Definitely no later than Tuesday so I think we'll be all set with this. :smiley20:Quote:

Thanks for letting me play, escpecially with my busy schedule. 5 days and counting.
I was thinking of putting a Partagas Serie D 2005 Reserva ISOM with a 2 finger case and taking the PAM or the Opus.
:smiley3: :smiley3: :smiley3:
I kid, not sure who will get that.
Looks good to me! :smiley20:

I really appreciate allowing me to participate. I wish I had a stronger arsenol, there were some bad-looking sticks in that box...it was damn hard not to trade out with some of my premo's, but I haven't tried half of what's in my humi, so it makes sense to hold on to them!
Please doing business. Wish me luck, 4 days and counting.
Sorry to interupt on the pass but, where do you get those ziplocks? :smiley1:
Great plays, Marc!!! Congrats and good luck!!!
I don't think I have to worry about this but for a heads up I will be gone all next week without a computer to check in. The pass shouldn't even be close to coming to me yet.
Box came this morning to my office. Busy at work now but initial inspection shows no problems. Box has already taken a beating so I will look for a replacement.
I will post proposed puts/takes tonight once I get home as well as recharge the humidifiers.

Looks fine to me :smiley20: Thanks Jason, great job!!
You disappoint me, Jason... I was thinking you would make a play on the Padron 1926... I left it there for you, even though it was awful tempting. :smiley2:
The rest are great plays!!! :smiley20:
You have no idea how much I wanted to get into that other bag (ISOM and SP) especially the Cohibas and that 1926. Unfortunately, my humi does nothave anything (that I have not yet tried) that would be considered an equitable trade. :smiley19:Quote:

Plus for some silly reason the wife wants the bills paid and the kids want to eat. :smiley36: (no mooch intended here . . . I still have some $$$ to get smokes just not high end and ISOM . . . plus some of my fellow BOTL have been very generous).
Anyway . . . back to the pass. Glad the P/T was good. I should be able to get this box in the mail today. Not bad, less than 24 hrs. :smiley20: As for the box . . . I do not think I have a suitable replacement. However, after closer inspection it appears all of the "damage" is cosmetic and not necessarily structural and it should fare well.
Thanks CCat for getting this thing off the ground and setting up such a great selection of smokes. :smiley20:

EDIT - For the spelling error you :smiley35: nit-pickers! :smiley1:

Thanks for letting me in on this one. Too bad for me . . . good for everyone else . . . that I could not get into that "other bag" but I am really looking forward to that CAO MX2 and the ERDM.

I would guess that the box should be okay Jason, so long as it didn't have broken seams or holes punched in it, it should be fine. Thanks for the FAST turnaround :smiley20:
Next up is Spurs country in the Lone Star State :smiley20: and it should arrive on Monday. This thing is moving along at breakneck speed.
I'm already on that quest brother! :smiley20:Quote:

I think the newly married man on this pass should "WIN" the lottery.
What an amazing weekend . . . :smiley14:
Just because you got your wee-wee wet don't make you a winner. :smiley36:Quote:

My P/ts are as follows:
p: Padron 1926 #1 nat
t: Padron 1926 #1 mad
p: RP Vintage 1992 Toro
t: RP Sun Grown Torp
p: Griffins Special Edition XX
t: PAM Imperial
There is one more P/T I would like to make but I want to make sure everyone is ok with it first.
p: La Aurora Preferidos #1
t: Camacho Liberty
Seems that there is a $2-$3 price difference between these two sticks with the Preferidos being on the lower end. In my opinion this seems comparable and I have run this by our Preferido whoring pass host, but he's obviously a bit partial. So, I would like to know if anyone thinks I would be "trading down" here. Please be honest and feel free to berate me all you wish.

I refilled one of the humidifiers (the other seemed alright for the short trip to Houston). Drake, pkg should arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

Cool how is the winner selected? Or should I just go back and read through this thread more carefully :smiley9:Quote:

Many passes have some kind of "Gimmick" or twist to make things interesting so here's the deal, at the end of this pass we'll have a "lottery" of sorts with some of the extra sticks. And NO, I'm NOT just going to take the ones I want and lottery off the rest
What I figure I will do is once the pass gets back to me, I'll list ALL the cigars numerically and we'll use one of the Connecticut State Lottery drawings to:
1. Select exactly which cigars from the pass to be put in the prize pack (by some scheme I'll figure out once I figure out how many cigars will make up the prize package)
AND
2. Since there are TEN of you in the pass (which makes things REAL easy) I'll use your placement in the pass order as your "number" and I'll pick a certain day and we'll use the LAST number in the Connecticut "Play 3" to determine the winner of the prize pacakge.
I'll start a new thread to follow the pass and people's "Puts & Takes" and we'll call it the:
"Connecticut Lottery Pass"
that is one hell of a twist. these passes are pretty cool things to watch and learn about.
K&P
Like I said in the free cigars thread, once I find someplace 'round my way to buy good cigars, I'm so in on something like this...I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn whats good and what isn't either! :smiley9:
