Tease!

Works for me, thanks for playing! My address has not changed .

Please also take #53 - Partagas SP#2. Please do not put a cigar for this one. There are two reasons for this:
1. The postage that you'll be paying is more than the others' postage in the pass; and
2. This will eliminate all CC's from the pass, and I don't want you to ship any CC's to me.

No Problem. I'll do my best to make sure no extra's end up in the pass.


Everything should be out in the morning.

Hey Cajun with the way you wrap up the Cuaba Divinos I think I'm going to have to smoke it with the cello on. You have the number tape wrapped all the way around.




Clip one end and just light it. Gives it a twang kind of taste.



Box out going today will have numbers shortly.

Chit, you let me know if in any way that smoke has been damaged.

If I remember right, the tape was tight too. I hope I put it on the outside of the cello!

Cigar was fine.

Hey DG - Did you pick any squares for the squares contest?

[craig]

Cool. I just discovered that we've got some well-respected trolls (WRT's) in the pass .

[craig]

The pass arrived today . I just wanted to get this up today (July 21, post #255) for Ashauler's contest.

Contest post (#4) updated with the lotto number screencap. The 5 and 6 digits of the lotto number are "19." Badwhale wins the (non-)Connecticut lottery contest! Congratulations Will!

For the squares contest, my picks are A4 and C5. The game will be a CFL game, Hamilton vs. Montreal, Thursday, July 23, 2009. The score will be shown at: http://tsn.ca/cfl/scores/?date=July/23/2009 Use the last digit of each team's final score. Hopefully it will work out (see post 4 for how the extra squares were filled) - there is even the possibility that one person could win the forward and the reverse!


Also, after tonight, I've got a rush thing to do with work that will keep me off of here until the end of the month (after tonight). I'll pop in to post the squares contest winners so you folks can start drafting cigars, so that I can ship out the winnings when I come up for air in August.

At least one person fails the pass, as I specifically said "no host bag" - yet there are some extra cigars in the box. My thanks - all of these are new to me.

Finally, thank-you all for participating in my first-ever pass . It was a pleasure to host this, and you were all awesome!

[Irish79]

Thank YOU Craig for hosting this pass. This has been a great learning process (at least for me) and you have done a great job in all aspects of this pass (IMHO). Thanks Craig!

[CAJUNBLAZE]

Thanks Craig for all the hard work you put into this very successful pass!

I enjoyed it and can't wait for the Budget Box Pass II.

Thanks for the contest, craig. You've set the bar rather high for future passes. I learned a lot.
