Sorry to hear that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

You're still in the CT lottery pass contest. I know that you were interested in some of the original line-up of the pass. If you wish, I'll be glad to arrange a sampler with you at your convenience.

For the Avalon I found a few resources:

That is a post in The Official Avalon Pass

However their website does not list Honey Boys for sale anymore.

It has been discontinued...I know the price for the was a little more than the El Rico. Taste wise it's not worth the El Rico...IMHO. I picked up a few in Memphis when they were released. I think I paid around $8.50 for them.

Delivery Confirmation™ # 0703 8555 7490 4420 7251 -- the pass is on its way.

**mrtr33** · 06-26-2009, 03:27 PM

Craig, for those of us playing along at home, can we assume the put/pass price of the Avalon is $8.50 and the LFD Cheroot is $7?

p/t's looking good to me.

**cigarsarge** · 06-27-2009, 12:21 AM

I got the pass today...I'll get it on the road Monday.

Thanks!

Factored: you're up!

**FactoredReality** · 06-27-2009, 10:10 AM

I'm ready and waiting.

For those interested we are meeting up for a Herf on Friday the 3rd. Badwhale and Irish79 are planning on comming and my door is open to anyone else in the area that wants to stop by. If you want details send me a PM. I will get my P/T up shortly.

Hmmm

There's a train that runs daily from Montreal to New York (Penn Station). From NY, I can get to a closer city (DC? Baltimore?) if someone can pick me (potentially us) up. Unfortunately, the train to Manassas is sold out already.

**badwhale** · 06-27-2009, 01:16 PM

I can pick you up in B-mo. PM me if interested...

Actually, maybe you can get to Harrisburg station? That would be even easier.

Will

**FactoredReality** · 06-28-2009, 10:24 AM

Craig,

You could take Amtrack to Union Station in DC. From there you can take the Orange line all the way to the end and you will be 20-25 minutes away. Or you could meet up with Will. Sorry for the delay in response I was busy drinking at the beer fest yesterday.

**cigarsarge** · 06-28-2009, 06:20 PM

The pass is boxed and ready...I'm just waiting on FactoredReality's addy. It should go out tomorrow. I cut off about four ounces of tape from the box.

Thanks for hosting this pass Craig.

**FactoredReality** · 06-28-2009, 09:01 PM

PM w/ addy sent.

Thanks for the quick turn Ken.
