Blowinsmoke
Takes:
- Belmore Torpedo
- Belmore Orange Label?

Puts:
- A Fuente Grand Reserva 858
- Cohiba corona Especial Cuban (No Label)

Also, Since the box pass seemed a bit in need of a container up grade. I replaced the tupperware containers with a Monte Cristo White box/ humidor.

Also, I wanted to share a few more than I took, so I also added a few:
- Don Lino Africa
- Grand Habano Corojo #5
- C.A.O. Brazilia, Feito

Also I left most of our puts in the celo, for safety.

Then recharged the humidifiers and sealed the box. Blowinsmoke will get it in the maii today, Or as soon as I get the mailing address for " elrico" It can be sent to my personal e-mail JWilson587@aistin.rr.com

FYI - folks we purchased my puts from www.showmeyourash.com, check em out. Very happy with the quality and service.

Thanks for including us. When is the next one...LOL

Great job ash. Thanks for fixing up the packaging too. I will use a cigar caddy on the next one, which we can start as soon as this is over. In fact, I will go ahead and put a sign up sheet out there.

What do you all think about having a "rare - uniqe" cigar pass???

you know ...nothing extreamly exotic but, more of a true fine cigar pass.

your thoughts???

[cockyhoskins]

I am down. Not so much a "rare" cigar pass, as in vintage, expensive, but more "rare" as in not common.

I just don't think you boys could keep up if we did the first kind.

Okay. I received the box today. There are a few casualties, but for the most part, the contents are in fine shape. The Oliveros Gran Reserva is pretty battered, and the MC Le Grand Delacroix has a bit of damage, but can probably be salvaged.

Not sure if it was originally included, but the Takes/Puts list and mailing info for those participating is not in the box. I've printed up some sheets to record Takes and Puts for the remaining stops on the pass. Also, I've placed any unprotected sticks into individual cigar baggies for protection. I added several dozen additional bags, so any later adds to the box can be protected, if not already wrapped in cellophane.

A few questions about previous puts;

There are two unbanded cigars; one maduro corona size, and one natural toro size. I assume these are the Pinar pre-embargo, and the Cohiba Corona Especial, but I'm not sure which is which, so I'll leave them unmarked. Neither of the cigars seem to have a Cuban triple cap, and to my knowledge Cohiba doesn't make a maduro corona, so it's a bit confusing. Somewhere, the wires are crossed.

The two Partagas Churchills that started the pass are gone. I assume they were removed due to damage on the first leg of the pass? Also, per the previous takes/puts posted, one of the RP Vintage 1992 should be remaining, but I can't locate it. Similarly, both of the Belmore Cameroon Torpedos put in by Hex should be gone, but there is still one in the box. No big deal....one missing/one extra.

My Takes:

Don Lino Africa Lancero
Gran Habano Corojo #5 (Toro)
Ancient Warrior Robusto
El Rey Del Mundo Toro

My Puts:

Alec Bradley Pryme #100R (Robusto)
CAO Italia Gondola (Torpedo)
Torano Exodus 1959 Gold Torpedo
La Gloria Cubana Toro

And a few extra Puts:

5 Vegas Gold Toro
Fire by Indian Tabac Churchill
Astral Churchill

Cockyhoskins.....please send me mailing info for Oblik, and I'll keep the box moving. Thanks for letting me take part.

The box left yesterday via Priority Mail insured. Delivery confirmation number, which should be viewable via the internet, is: 0301 0120 0002 8468 0546. Dallas-Albuquerque....you will likely see the box Saturday.

The box has a new Takes/Puts list, as well as the mailing info for the remaining stops on the pass.

Thanks again for allowing me to play.
