Hey, I smoke an Acid every now and then. I only pass it on to friends that don't smoke the real stuff... At least they get a hand rolled crappy cigar instead of a machine rolled one!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But I can tell you, the one this guy had me smell was completely overwhelming.

Thanks Mark, I'll keep an eye out for it. This actually the only weekend this month I don't have anything going on Saturday!

The box arrived today in good condition. Humidity was at a solid 65%RH. I will post my puts/takes later and get it sent out on its way Monday.

Ren-
It is urgent that you have the box bypass me, or put me later in the list as I am leaving today for Germany and won't be back for two weeks. I'd hate to have the cigars sitting on my doorstep all that time.

I did make a post or email to you about this a while back.

Sincerely,

Steve

In the boxpass there is some instructions to by pass the next individual if they are on vacation, so this should happen with you until you come back.

And just a reminder I currently have these users who said they will be gone on vacation this summer.

  • sigloOne, June 14 thru 28
  • dmheath, July 2 thru 5
  • Ren, July 5 thru 12
  • MarkAl, July 7 thru 22

    Smoke'em If you got them, and boy due I have them.

    Okay Boys! I received the box last night, the smokes look GREAT! I should have it back out by Friday with the way my schedule is going. The humi is a little low, but everything looks good in there! Nino, you aren't going on vacation any time soon, so I can send it to you right away, right? Please respond so not to delay the box. Now the toughest part...choosing my smokes!

    Okay Gentlemen, Here it Goes:

    Takes:
    Cusano Xclusivo
    Monte White Especiale No. 3
    Don Diego
    New Holland La Edicion Inaugural Robusto

    Puts:
    C.A.O. L'anniversre eXtreme Toro (My Second Favorite!)
    Partagas Spanish Rosado Mitico
    Dunhill Aged Altamira Tubo
    Punch Champion (A new favorite)
    H.Upmann 1844 Robusto (My most favorite!)

    I added the extra Upmann since I like it so much! I will be sending the package tomorrow, and will forward the tracking number when I have it. Since I have heard no objections, I am sending it to the next person, hopefully who is not on vacation.

    BTW: When I emptied the box to look at the cigars, I noticed some leaf at the bottom of the box. I noticed a couple of the unwrapped sticks had a little damage. I assume from bouncing around. I did my best at packing things a little tighter. I added more humi juice as the humidity was getting a bit low.

    I hope you enjoy my puts.

    Thanks!

    Sean

    I almost wish I was after you instead of before you Smile

    Hope you enjoy that Cusano. I got it on the recommendation of "masterblenderandroller" who manages the local cigar shop, and I really enjoyed it!

    So, where is that box? I see Ryno posted his puts/takes, but no tracking number and no reception post by the next person. Let's get this pass on the move!

    Sorry guys, gave the box to my little lady to send on Friday, since she works accross the street from the post office. She forgot. Mad So, we brought it with us up to the lake this weekend to send it from there. Since it is such a small town, the Post office was closed both Sat and Sun. Confused I just can't get a break with this ****, cause she forgot to do it again yesterday. Mad So, it was sent today, on 2 day priority. I will have the tracking number to post when she gets home tonight.

    Sorry about the confusion, and the wait. Frown

    So, what's the status of the package?? No tracking number, and no post for a couple days.... I'm just curious. Is everything alright with it?
