Thanks to heftysmokes with a nice pair!

Delivery confirmation says the gars left Capitol Heights Maryland today. At least they are in the same state as illilli. At this rate they ought to arrive at his house in another week or so.

I'm getting tired of this bull shit. "Priority" mail is taking 10 days to two weeks to cross the country. Maybe its time to look into FedEx, UPS.

I would recommend Fedex, but I may be a little biased.:smiley2:

I will probably get them today if they were in Capitol Heights yesterday. Capitol Heights is the staging area for out-of-area mail deliveries for my zip code.

I know how frustrating it is to mail things to people and have it take a long time. I have spent about 8 total years living in Korea and during some of those years I played a Play-by-mail game. It was a constant battle trying to get my turns in on time and it typically took 10-14 days to get anything to and from the states larger than a letter.

The good news is that we are not in a huge hurry with this game. Everyone's cigars are setting nice and save. I know everyone is doing their best to get their sticks in. Just remember to relax and smoke more cigars.

Here is a list of cigars I've received so far:

Thanks Cabaiguan Juan and Lopaka!

I haven't seen pyrofish in a while and I have not received a notice that he has sent his cigars. I know that things happen from time to time in our "real" lifes that can delay or sidetrack us. I'm sure this slight absence is nothing to be worried about.

However, in the event he is having problems such that would keep him from playing this game, I will take his place OR someone else may volunteer to play on standby. That would mean being ready to send 2 cigars in on a fairly short notice. I would prefer NOT to play as I will be randomly assigning the lots to each winner.

Here is what I've received so far:

They didn't get here on Sunday, but on Saturday. You see, the weather was so good that I couldn't even find the time to get on the computer to update the forums. (I did find time to PM our good brother drew-dog, of course, so he wouldn't worry.)

I'm sure your cigars will be here very soon.

He got it a couple days ago.

Give it time...2-3 weeks is about right


edit: illilli was a little quicker on the draw

Well, it is looking like PyroFish is not readily available and noone has stepped up as a stand-by player. If I don't hear from PyroFish by the time I receive Newfie's cigars and if noone volunteers to fill PyroFish's slot, I will be forced to play this game. This means that if I win, I will get to pocket that $4.00 for shipping. I know you don't want to see what I could do with a whole $4.00, so I hope either PyroFish shows back up OR someone volunteers to take his place.:smiley20:

I'll send 2 more out Tuesday if you don't get any from Pyrofish.

Sounds good.

Something to keep in mind, I don't think Pyrofish is slacking on us. Cigars do take a while to come from Canada.

This is from a post on the 4th...so he maybe running around trying to get stuff done for his trip in a few weeks. Treats maybe in the mail, just taking a few days for the snail to get there. :smiley36:

illilli, please say you got my sticks today!!

Sorry, they did not come in.

Newfie,

Look at it this way....Every time I check the thread I drool in anticipation of what my surprise will be. Thanks buddy!!!!!:smiley18:

OK, I'm going to the Post Office this morning (as much as I hate to) to get a couple of packages out. While I'm there I'm going to check on this "expedited" package I sent to illilli on Monday, April 03rd.

In the meantime, I believe I'm the only one who's 'gars are un-accounted for, and while it isn't my fault, I feel bad. I'd like to wait to see it he get's 'em today (yesterday was a holiday for lots of places).

Should they not arrive today, there are three possibilities:

1. I can send another package out with a couple of sticks (not my preference, you guys have been waiting long enough)
2. I can back out, someone close to illilli can step in, and he can keep the $5 I sent him.
3. I can PM illilli with my new selections, he can do the picks and I can send the sticks "Registered Mail" to the BOTL who gets my sticks.

Tell me what you want to do and I'll abide.

Thanks, and sorry once again.

Newf.

They WILL get there. Just give it time. It can take upwards of 2-3 weeks. Remember, this draft doesn't start until May. Start panicking the end of next week.

I appreciate your confidence Andrew, but I wish I had it. I just got back from the P/O and they said it takes 7-9 days and today's the 9th day. I said "It was mailed 15 days ago, in the third!" She says "That's 7-9 business days, the first day doesn't count, you had 2 weekends in there with Good Friday and Easter Monday!!"

Quest que le fuck????

By the way Drew, this ain't the draft, it's the lottery!:smiley31: :smiley36:
