Lets go with what the watch says.. and that is.. help me out here Bill.

We are but George is in the Central time zone and not all areas in the Eastern time zone observe Daylight Saving Time so the proper way is to specify it when you pick a time, either 3:30 EDT or 3:30 EST which is and hour after 3:30 EDT. I did ask twice and it's not as simple as you all think.

CLICK HERE to see how much of a mess this can be.

Yeah I've never been to good with that. I just go here http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/timer.pl and set my watch and go. According to the navy I'm on EDT so I'll stick with that. I do see how this could be a problem.

Basically I was figuring the price total of the cigars I wanted then using what I had to equal the price. I figured the cigars I wanted total about 38 bucks and the cigars I was putting in totaled around 40.

This is an incorrect process. What I should be concerned with is quality = quality, not $ = $

So tonight I'm go back through the box and do it on a quality = quality standard.

Excellent!! Thank you Diesel Grinch for giving nhcigarfan the heads up and thank you nhcigarfan for saying "Oh, okay, I'm new to this whole pass thing so I'll re-do my P/T's" :smiley20:

All of this happened without any bad blood or hurt feelings which is the way it should be. Unfortunately this is NOT always the case. If I had some time, I'd dig up some classics from CigarPass :smiley36: where a buncha grown men act like six year olds (and I'm not counting me out of that group either :smiley4: )

Thanks again to everyone :smiley20:

There may be a late addition.

I may be getting a couple of Perdomo Edicion de Silvio Double Corona's today. That is if DHL's estimated delivery date is correct. If so I'll trade one of those for the 1926 if that's alright with the rest of you.

I think that would be a good trade. :smiley20:

wow

I just got a 5 pack box of Perdomo's Edicion de Silvio. It comes in a smaller version of the Larger wooden box. This thing is nuts. I takes some pics later and post them somewhere else. It has a lock on the box, you opend in and inside is another box with a wax seal and this box is surrounded by rolled cedar, Inside the second box are 5 fantastic looking cigars wrapped in fancy paper.

If there is another cigar smoker in your life, get them one of these for a birthday/holiday present, it's nuts.

So I am going to swap one of these for the 1926 and will send it off tonight if I get home in time and if not tomorrow am back to CC.

Also I ended up with an extra V-cutter. Nothing special, handle made of plastic, but it's new and I'm going to toss it in for the lotto.

Yep!! I received the box a couple of days ago and I have to go through it and figure out this lottery deal. I'll just need a few days so please bear with me... :smiley20:

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"

CC's post sums up the lottery stuff.

Don't worry there Marc, I'll do this, I've just been flat out busy getting my Jaguar ready to drive to a car show this weekend in Richmond. I've got to sort through the cigars, and figure out which ones will be in "the lottery." As I mentioned, I'm not just going to grab the ones I want and lottery off the rest, EVERY stick will be subject to being put back in for the lottery prize. I just don't know exactly how many or when I'm going to get to do this but hopefully sometime next week.

For those that don't know CC...He may be a little slow. But when it happens it will be a class package.

I'm looking forward to winning it. :smiley20:

Sorry, I went on a mini vacation to Richmond, VA, then when I get back I got "distracted" :smiley24: with abanneda and corona gigante :smiley36:

I still have to do a final inventory and figure out some kind of scheme for which sticks will be in the prize pack.

Now that my fan club is outta here, I can concentrate on that :smiley17:

I'll try and wrap this up within the next week.

Feel free to say:

"WTF is going on here?"

or whatever pops into your mind. :smiley23:

Don't worry, joshua is chomping at the bit. :smiley2:

However, he seems smart enough to keep his mouth shut which is good for him but bad for the "CigarSmokers Entertainment Network" or CSEN :smiley36:
