Excellent!!! Come to papa!!!

George,

You should pack a famous Chicago Pizza in the pass for me...it's been too long since I've had one, and you might as well throw in a Dirty Belveder Martini from the Martini Bar at the hancock, haven't had one of those in awhile either.

Thanks.

...several Chicago Style hot dogs (I LOVE those), and maybe an Italian Beef sandwich too (Mmmmmmm)!!! Uno's pizza is not as good as it used to be - maybe Giordano's... Wait - what am I saying here? You rrying to send me out on a scavenger hunt??? You BASTID!!!

I say you move back to the Chicago area - we do have great atmosphere around here.... I'll take you out and hook you up with great food and drinks!!!

**hortsch** · 07-14-2005, 09:37 AM

Chicago is an amazing city. We try and make it down there once a year from MPLS. I have a really good friend who moved there a couple years ago that I visit, not sure where he is though!

Im pretty sure I've eating at that Gloridanos (sp?), they have an offer where they will ship a cheese pizza anywhere in the states, they freeze it or something odd that allows it to ship!!!

Man the pizza down there is tasty.

Okay - got the pass last night from CC. I'm going to rummage through it, hopefully tonight - and will try and get it back on the road this weekend. I'm hoping it reaches Hortsch this week - which would be great because he can get it out by next weekend and it won't interfere with his plans!

Hortsch, let me know if this plan is good - I hope we can make it work!!!

How did CC get his grimey little hands back on it. I sent it to Chicagoland. CC is a sneaky little devil.

Sorry, Ken... I just remember seeing CC's name on the label when I picked it up... Oooppsss... My bad....

**ggiese** · 07-15-2005, 01:28 AM

Ok, I rifled through this pass and here's what I come up with...

Takes:

7) SLR Series A 03/03
19) Oliva Master Blend
27) LFD 500 Ligero

Puts:

30) Sherpa Mystic
31) Montecristo #4 ISOM
32) AF Hemingway Signature Maduro
33) Rocky Patel Sun Grown Torpedo
34) Torano Exodus 1959 SILVER Robusto
35) Diablo Picante
36) Punch Gran Puro Sierra

I put a bunch extra in here so there would be a few more mid-priced domestics to choose from. Don't feel obligated to toss in a bunch more cigars than you take - it is really not necessary, nor is it normal to do that,

Hopefully I'll get this baby on the road tomorrow or Saturday. Marc, please let me know if that's okay...

Ggiese, let me know when you get this box if this will be an issue, and I'll make sure CC reworks the rotation.

Thanks a bunch for letting me participate in this, with my busy month ahead and all.

Damn...17 days of freedom left

It looks that if I mail this tomorrow, it'll get to you by the 17th or 18th, which gives you two days turn around time... That seems workable??? CC, what do you think?

**CoventryCat86** · 07-15-2005, 02:22 AM

Sounds perfect George, if you mail it on the Friday the 15th, he'll get it on Monday the 18th. Heck, even if you mail it on Saturday the 16th, he'll get it on the 18th so send her off. It would be nice to hear from Marc first though just to make sure.

Oh and THANKS for the great additions to the pass

This pass needed a bit more medium end stock.

Oh and WTF????? I thought you were going to take that Padron 1926 #1?

Another case of slackery at it's greatest. Can't ya do better than that?

Post here if you're interested. I'd like to keep this to no more than ten people. Generally the rules are Havana for Havana, High End for a High End and Medium for Medium. Also please indicate if you think I should start with fewer Havanas and more Medium domestics

Yeah this would be great. I will PM you my address

**ggiese** · 07-17-2005, 02:42 PM

Wife poo got the pass out yesterday - it's on it's way to Marc. Should be there maybe Tuesday - Wednesday at the latest???

**hortsch** · 07-17-2005, 08:47 PM

Interesting.

Sorry you guys didn't hear from me, I was on my 1st part of my 4 weeks of out-of-town insanity.

Im going out of town for the wedding wed morning. So I basically need to get it tuesday so I can make my plays and mail it wed.

If it's not here tuesday, I can have a friend pick it up and basically reship it to the next addy, or I can have Swifty from CP take my place.

Let me know, hopefully my wedding doesn't mess up this pass. But you guys have my word it won't sit on my doorstep!

Marc - sorry - I read your schedule and figured I could "sneak" it in between other things. I hope I didn't mess you up... I mailed it Sat. morning priority mail, so I believe it will hit you by Tues. at the latest...

**Lopaka** · 07-18-2005, 12:51 AM

Wow. this sounds like so much fun. I would love to get in on the next one. Although after reading all the Cigars you all are passing/give, I feel like a Newbie to cigars and I've been smoking for 4 years ROFL. I reconized 5 names so I don't know if I could do a good pass/give...

I need to get out a smoke more!!!
