    Default box split

    I am looking for 4-5 people who are interested in doing a large-scale box split. The concept is simple. We each chose the box we want, and all agree on it. We then pay one person (preferably a FOG) and they then in turn purchase the boxes from a retailer. this person then divides all of the boxes up and ships them out. Basically we end up with 4-5 people sharing 2-5 boxes (whatever works best for people).
    looking at 100-200/box msrp.

    example:
    my box is 125/25
    box 2 is 170/25
    box 3 is 160/20

    say 5 people all agree on the 3 boxes in question.
    equals 91 dollars/person plus shipping for 5 sticks from box one, 5 sticks box 2, and 4 sticks box 3.
    confused yet??

    I will coordinate all of this, I am just looking for a FOG in the states somewhere to collect money, order the smokes and ship them. The FOG will preferably be part of this split and WILL be compensated for their time by myself.

    Let me know of any suggestions.


    The reasoning behind all of this is that most retailers don't ship boxes up north, and my local B&M, which is 5 hours away, does not carry domestics at all. Nothing but that ISOM junk...lol
    oh...and I am looking for an excuse to start a coolidor.

    Box list...this will be voted on at a later date between all involved.

    Count me in as well.

    Now, we just need a gracious FOG to come along to lend a hand (and a few bucks)???

    Feel free to post up suggestions for the boxes you would like to see purchased. I personally would like to see at least one box of AF Hemingways bought.

    You guys don't need an FOG, I would do a deal with any of you. Just do it on your own.

    It's on. Let's do this thing. If Hefty is willing, we will split the responsibility. If not, I am game as long as there is shipping compensation. I will not fock up this time on Canadian mailing.

    Anyone that wants to jump in, do so soon and speak up on box choices. Maybe this can be our sidebar entertainment while the true FOGs of the board do their draft. In any event, let's have fun!

    FOGs, and non FOGs alike, box split time is upon us...

    It had nothing to do with this post so I do not know why I posted that statement here- now that I read it. Further, I do not recall what I said or the context. All I know is that the third party in chat last night told me that I was out of line. I probably was. I had a few too many. Do not drink and type. Sorry...

    This is not fucking cool....... maybe you and TSC should start your own BB......

    You can't say shit in chat and expect it not to play out here.......

    Maybe it is time for you to take a break from this board also !!!!

    Now let me say this...... how many people want to be in a GB with someone like this. he is pulling the same shit that TSC did with me in chat. Say some very disturbing things to an established member, then come back the next day and say "I'm sorry".... "it wasn't my fault"..... Bullshit..... you should be responsible for ALL of your actions...
    I'm not big on doing reviews, tobacco doesn't taste like "cocoa" or "nutty" or "mocha" to me, it tastes like freakin' TOBACCO. I know what I like and I really don't care what other people think of other cigars. I've never read a review and said to myself "Wow, that sounds like a cigar I'd like to try!"

    Please see SLCRaiders Explanation in Chat to continue this. I think DG would like this thread to stay on the subject of his Box Split.

    One spot left. I suppose it will remain open until Friday, and then we will pick the boxes over the weekend, regardless of whether we have 4 or 5.
