Thanks CC, I appreciate that. I obviously made some mistakes but I have learend and will do much better on my next box pass.

I hooked up with Drake this AM and gave him the box, so that should save some time, no mailing time.

Good job.

The next stop is Tennessee...Home of the worst team in the SEC!!!

Put san cristobal la punta, take PSD #4
Put ashton magnum, take gurkha dos capas
put DCMax #5, Take Camacho Coyolar Puro

o, and if something is wrong with these, would the first person who notices just say so? you won't hurt my feelings. i'm not too sure about the prices on the camacho and the gurkha.

Very well played Drake, Texas is done, first post will be updated. Sarge, you're up, I don't expect expedient Turkey Day miracles with the PO, so if I don't hear anything by Monday of next week, no worries.

I thought I had the paperwork with me this morning when i left my apartment, but its nowhere in my car. my girlfriend says she doesn't see it anywhere in the apartment. i filled it out last night at my kitchen table, but now, i have no clue where it could've gone. when i get home tonight, i'll do a more thourough search of my apartment. if i don't find it, BigMacFU, could you email me the address list and cigar list as you had printed them? i'll re-fill out everyone's puts and takes. i apologize if i've misplaced it. i do know all the cigars are there. sorry, guys.

You're so fired

No problem. Just copy the master list from the first post, and I'll resend you the Address list. BTW, is it in the package that is now sealed up?

nah, i hadn't sealed it yet. i was in a hurry this morning because i woke up late, so i just grabbed it and walked out the door. i was also out of tape, so i was just going to use the guy's tape at the shipping place i go to. well, then, tomorrow, it will be.

**Drake** · 11-23-2005, 11:27 AM

sorry for the delay, guys.

**cigarsarge** · 11-30-2005, 06:34 PM

There is a problem with the pass. USPS Tracking says the pass was delivered at 1033 today. The problem is it is not at my house. I have no clue as to where it is..

I checked with a few of my neighbors with no luck. I'm gonna talk to my letter carrier tomorrrow. I have had problems with misdelivered mail with this guy several times.

I have to go to work at 1900 tonight so I can't do much right now as far as getting with a few more neighbors.

I will keep everyone posted.

**CoventryCat86** · 11-30-2005, 06:39 PM

It will probably show up tomorrow.

I had an instance where I sent something to JOE.M. on a Friday the next day, the USPS site said "Your item was delivered at 10:33 a,m, to CHAPLIN, CT"

So Joe (who lives in New Mexico) PMs me and says "What, did you mail it to YOURSELF?" I had the receipt half of the on line label I had printed and it was supposed to go to New Mexico.

It finally made it there on Tuesday......

Fuggen USPS.........

It's not your fault, it's the fault of the USPS.

Oh and don't anyone think that "insuring" this would have done any good because it would not have.

Someone go ask gatorsmg how he made out with the fuggen USPS when they LOST his pass which was insured and he NEVER got a DIME out of them.

Don't sweat it sarge, it'll turn up.

**godfather** · 11-30-2005, 07:24 PM

sarge, I'm sure it'll turn up. If I were in your shoes, I'd be freaking out too....

Rest assured, if it doesn't turn up I've got your back and our host's back too (BigMacFU). I'll personally help contribute into making a new box of cigars if that's what this comes down to.

Now get to work and stop worrying...
