Whaddaya'll think?
alright now, as GG said earlier sometimes silence is telling and I can hear an echo . . . if it ain't right don't be bashful, let me know - I'm not sending it til it is right!
PM to BigMac.
LOL, I'm just in Cali for my bro's wedding taking care of business, sorry, my responses will be slow till I'm back in NYC Sunday night. So, as far as I can tell, your Put/Takes are okay so long as the PSD 4 is an ISOM, I'm ignorant of that acronym. But, if you take an ISOM you should make sure to put an ISOM back so others have the chance at an ISOM.
So, that's it, well played Basil.
Oh yeah, that La Casa Grande, that's a sweet cigar, you'll enjoy it, it's 10 year aged tobacco.
Cool. Congrats to your brother and have fun out there! PSD4 - Partagas Serie D No. 4 - is an ISOM. I'll get this off 1st thing in AM. I'm gonna look in the morning too - I think I've got something else to throw in there. :smiley37:Quote:

Ray - the post office lady said prob Sat. since tomorrow's a holiday. Enjoy!
Dear Mr. Fu,
I just had the opportunity to enjoy the partagas I got from the box pass.
What a great smoke. I really only enjoy full to fuller bodied cigars and I almost burned my fingers on that one.
Thanks, and great pass :smiley20:
I got the pass on Saturday. Ted, the Opus made it too. Here are my plays:
Takes:
Torano Signature Torpedo
Reo Torpedo
Puts:
Punch Grand Cru #2 Maduro
Camcho Coyolar Puro Torpedo
La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados Felicias Maduro
If there are no complaints, this goes out tomorrow. :smiley20:

Heads up Cigar No Baka! DC 0301 0120 0007 3851 9026
CNB, what day is good for you to meet up? LMK
OK Grand Cru, will keep my eye out for it, thanks! I will post my puts and takes since this is my very first box pass, and I don't want to piss off everyone or screw things up!!
Drake, will PM you as soon as I get it!!
Well played Ray! Thanks for the extra address labels in there too. You guys are making this a great box pass, very quick and efficient. :smiley31:
First post updated.
Uhhh, did the cigars get lost in the mail?

Sorry but no/minimal word from you severely bends one of the main rules of a box pass: communicate.
If there's a good explanation, sorry for bustin' your balls, but c'mon man make some noise. :smiley22:
Good points basil. CNB, you need to better communicate with the rest of the group what's going on with you.Quote:

B) There are several people who have not gotten the pass yet, and I'm sure they'd like to have it before Christmas (literally). It's not fair for them to wait on you if you're not going to give us any reasonable justification for waiting so long.
By all means, if you're having some kind of issue, I'm sure we'd all understand. The above post isn't telling us much except to draw our own conclusions.
Please have considerations for others, I too am not trying to harp on you and am simply bringing this to your attention. Thanks for listening.

If you'll notice that for the past 6 weeks or so I have had minimal access, so sorry about that. Plus I almost got in huge trouble at work for getting on cigar websites so although I still do I do so very sparingly.
Finally got my wife's PC to boot up. Got the box tonight and gonna go buy some more premiums tomorrow AM so I can put some comparable cigars into my puts OK?
Also gotta do some quick research on how much some of these sticks are so I don't take more than I put. Gonna research tonight, buy cigars tomorrow and get the box pass to Drake as soon as we hook up. Just PM'd Drake to see if he can meet me tomorrow.
Chris I'm not going to bust you balls on the communication thing the others got you on that and having PC problems happens.
What I'm going to call you on is this.
While getting it done you made a mistake. When joining a Pass or anything else the cigars should be in your humi. Your pulling a reganyouth. Sean even made a comment about this.Quote:

Carlos Torano 2004 Torpedo
La Aurora Preferidos 1903 Ltd Reserve #1 Maduro
Puts
Carlos Torano Virtuoso Torpedo
Griffins XXI Special Edition
Those are fine, and Baka really didn't want to piss anyone off, he's sorry, so, you're forgiven...case closed :smiley37: We will have a happy box pass, we will have a happy box pass :smiley36: I appreciate Basil, GF's, and Diesel's comments, they made valid points, but Baka definitely said, right on, so he's good in my book.
Best,
Sean
OK I am about to call Drake and set up a meet, that will save 1-2 days mailing time. This is a learning experience for me, so I will be more prompt in the future, thanks for being understanding.
I've sat back and watched this thread unfold... I've purposefully not said anything - I was most interested in how this would play out... I'm VERY pleased with the way this ended... Kudo's to all involved in the discussion!!! :smiley20:
Kudos to you guys for working this out without blood letting. This board is making some good BOTLs. :smiley37:
I haven't been following the thread since my turn in the rotation which was very early. So, I see we're having a little "controversy" people made their points and no harsh words were exchanged, that's a GOOD thing!
In all fairness to CNB, IMO he didn't hold the pass up for an inordinate amount of time and his explanation was reasonable.
Everything seems to have worked out fine so PASS ON! :smiley20:
