You should make the line up in an order around the country to save on shipping costs between the participants.

Something like this:

CoventryCat86 CT (GO UCONN oh and one of a handful of Astros fans in New England )
nhcigarfan NH (Live Free or DIE!)
rpcky16 ME (?) (Vacationland )
Superman78 OH
KayakinBoy TN (GO VOLS)
CigarSarge TN
Ggiese IL (White Sox )
AlexGTP IL (White Sox )
GTPHale IL (White Sox )
Godfather ?? (CA)
Basil AZ or TX
Grand Cru TX (NBA Titletown)
Drake TX
Lopaka TX
Cigar No Baka TX (ASTROLAND )
Hex1848 FL (Seminole Country even though he's a Gators fan at heart )
BigMacFU NY (Home of the team that LOST to the Angels )

I'm not quite sure where Basil & godfather are located (I guessed) and you might want to fine tune the order of the four Texas guys to minimize distance traveled between them.

[BigMacFU]

Thanks for the info CC, I am definitely putting it in a geographic order. Got it all set up Still want the addresses e-mailed to me for record keeping's sake.

[Kayakinboy]

I want something like this mailed to me at work. PM Sent.

WTF?!?! Arizona??? Please tell me you're joking!

Actually, for us five Texas guys, there's a service here, Lonestar Overnight, www.lso.com, that'll overnight anything within the state for a pretty reasonable rate.

Sorry Basil, I didn't have your address in my spreadsheet but I knew you were south west of me (well 44 of the 50 states are "south west" of me )

[Lopaka]

Sadly, I have to bow out of this pass...PM BigMacFU with the details. Holidays and Family won't premint me a pass with my current "commitments". Everyone enjoy, maybe next time.

Alright boys, the box goes out this Wednesday!!! Check the initial post for the order of people. Since Lopaka had to sit out, I threw an invite to my Herf co-host BKCloud, he has yet to respond, but hopefully he will soon.

[BigMacFU]

BTW, haven't heard a word from Drake, is he alright? Anyone have his address? Drake, if you're out there and able, e-mail it to me tonight!!!

[Kayakinboy]

Hey Sarge! Lemme know before sending this to me, I've had problems with mail getting to the office and I wanna make sure it goes to the right place!

[BigMacFU]

If I have to I'll meet him halfway and hand it to him personally.

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 )
