THANKS AGAIN CRAIG!

[craig]

Wow. Almost all the picks made, and here I was thinking it would take a few days to draft .

I'll try and address this next week, but, as previously advertised, the week after that is much more likely.

59 La Cuna Bin #85.

Thanks, Craig -- given the cigar whores participating, I'm amazed the draft took as long as it did...

[mrtr33]

More draft stats:

21 cigars, 4 contestants, 133 minutes.

[craig]

Please PM me if there are any discrepancies. I hope to pack these up and get to the post office later this week.

Congrats to winners and nice picks!

Craig, again great job and I can't wait for part two!

My apologies for the continued delay; I wasn't able to get out of the house last week. Should be this week, tho.

[badwhale]

No worries Craig. Besides, I think Mark is still on vacation...

Thanks,
Will

[craig]

Wow, that only took me three weeks .

Given prior experience, it'll take another three to four weeks for delivery.

Note there is no delivery confirmation, so if cigars are lost in transit, then you lose - I'm not sending them out again. (Even with DC, it doesn't matter - postal insurance does not pay out on cigars.)

[mrtr33]

Received.

Everything looks great.

Thank you so very much. That was very generous of you.

Thanks so much for such an awesome pass, craig.

[FactoredReality]

Sorry for the delay in this posting, but my smokes arrived safely a couple days ago.

Looking forward to BBP #2

Thanks Craig!

[craig]

Two down, two to go.

Funny, the package that had to go the furthest was received first .

The package that had to go the second-furthest (I think) was received second.

Hmm ...

[badwhale]

Yeah. I thought that too...
I'm still keeping the faith!!!

Will

[badwhale]

Halleluja! Package arrived today, contents intact.

Thanks once again Craig for the cool pass, and the fun contest!

Will

[craig]

Check for fuggin' beetles .

(highly unlikely, though)

One more to go ... and almost 300 posts in this thread.

[EGQ]

Craig,

The package arrived at some point while I was out of town -- everything is in good shape -- much appreciated.

This was a great pass!

Thanks, again.

Ed

[craig]

Excellent!

We're all wrapped up here!

Look for BBP#2 - tentatively titled the "Auctions, Bundles, and Clearouts Pass" (ABC pass) in a couple months. There seem to be a lot good deals around, and the idea would be to trade these. The pass would be less anal, and the price paid should be below $4/cigar before local taxes.

Or something .

[Bakoux]

Can't wait for the next BBP. This one sounded fun. Hope I can participate in the next one. :)
