The Ball and Chain Pass Offical Thread

[BigMacFU]

Again, I really appreciate it Bill. Everybody, seriously, let's give Bill a hand From now on, it's tupperware, not box passes

[ggiese]

What color is that nose of yours, Bill....

Seriously - great job CC - and glad everyone is learning how to put a box pass together from this experience. the little things like that really do make a difference...

I received the package today.

Takes:
Vegas Robaina Unicos
Opus X Perfecxion X
Padron 1926 #6

Puts:
San Cristobal de la Habana La Fuerza
Ashton VSG Torpedo
Davidoff Millennium Blend Robusto

Uh, the set up you have here won't work, the cigars were pretty dried out as they are not in plastic bags and the box doesn't seal good enough to hold humidity even though you had one of those Fuente humipacks in there.

I placed all the cigars in individual baggies and put the whole package in one large freezer sized zip lock bag, added a few extra small cigar baggies, replaced your cigar box with a Rubbermaid container (which took 3/4 of a pound off the weight of the package) AND ADDED A HUMIDIFICATION UNIT which I'll need you to send back to me when the pass makes it back to you along with my Rubbermaid container.

Numbering each individual cigar might have been a good idea but I didn't really feel like doing that......

LMFAO, what's with the "packing" material? It looks like you emptied your trash can I tossed that and replaced it with bubble bags and bubble wrap.

Tommy said he put in a DC Maximus #5 but it must have been a DC Maximus #4 because there are now TWO #4s and only one #5 and the pass started with one of each. I also identifed the Fonseca as a Delicias and the Partagas as a Corona and the Padron 1926 Natural is a #2.

Package will go out tomorrow to rpcky16 in L.L. Bean country (freakin' yuppie )

DC#: 0103 8555 7495 6396 0817

This is why we like Bill....... Sorry about the typo concerning the DCM.... I just checked my humi and yes I did send a #4 instead of a #5.... Sean, if it is a problem, let me know and I will make it right.

Ya learn something new everyday

Tommy you nut job a #4 costs MORE than a #5 so if anything you screwed YOURSELF and not the pass.

[Bkcloud114]

Great..... now I'll be known as the guy who screws himself during a pass.

That's OK with me...... I couldn't have done it to a better guy

[BigMacFU]

I trust you guys, if someone does something wrong, I'm sure I won't even be the first to voice, but I trust the guys in this pass and the only time someone needs to ask permission is when they themselves aren't sure. Otherwise, no worries. Tommy, you done good, as quite a few of us wrote, you did real nice.

[Kayakinboy]

Allright you two - get a room....

Some BOTLs don't meet up at the Family Reunion every year GRAMPS!
