Good work there Puff. I appreciate you ensuring that the sticks stay in good shape. I thought I put in a AVO tube that had a number of holes in it. I put some oasis and PG in it. I thought it might help. The trades look good to me. Excellent work! Good to see the pass made it in one...

Excellent news!

Yea, its my guess as well that Puff will see the box land tomorrow (Friday). Let's hope so anyway. :)

Puff -- I dropped it in the mail yesterday afternoon. It was my first time using the automated machine they had at the post office. I sent it Priority Mail and got insurance and thought I ordered package tracking, but when I put the number into the USPS site, it says "tracking was not ordered...

Looks like El Fumador got a new shipment of Opus in stock. Their standard rules apply (e.g., buy 10 cigars and a limit of 2 Opus per order). Nonetheless, their prices are reasonable. Belicoso XXX 10.25 Perfecxion No. 4 Series X 9.75 Perfecxion X 13.00 Robusto 5.25 12.00...

SFG, I've actually put in two Fumas for every pass participant to have a couple. Does that work?

I know this particular stick has been lauded here to some extent before, so I won't go into great detail. But, I thought I'd take some time out this afternoon to have a nice quiet smoke to celebrate the birthday. So, I picked out a Graycliff Espresso Pirate. This was my first, and surely it...

Due to family commitments, my holiday smoking was limited. However, I did manage to split a Toast Across America set with my dad. Pretty good sticks. I had the DC Maximus. Nice solid smoke. Nearly perfect draw, excellent smoke, good flavor. And, it was slightly punchier than I anticipated...

Sorry Todd, I tried to minimize shipping costs for all involved. I'm sure some generous soul will have dropped in a few sticks that may like by the time it gets around to you. :D

Okay guys, the I've edited the original posts with the list of sticks and pass lineup. Please take a look. I'll be emailing the pass info to those who provided an email address. I should have the pass out to you Puff tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll post the tracking number here. Looking forward...

So, just a little update here as I continue on my journey through Cuba. I've since tried a few other sticks with mixed results. Some of the highlight have been (based upon suggestions from CC and others) the Quintero Brevas, San Cristobal El, and ERDM (can't recall specifically which it was at...

While I have had to endure the last 24 hour Christmas shopping madness, its always ended with me swearing never to wait until the last minute again. Nonetheless, it'll probably happen in some fashion again this year. That said, I've never understood the shopping on the day after Thanksgiving...

I agree with the recommendation that Canon's' are a solid choice. Also, don't be sold on the idea that a particular camcorder can do "snapshots" as well. Typically, this means that you get a grainy 640x480 shot that doesn't even make for an acceptable 3x5 photo. However, the converse isn't...

Hey thanks for the birthday wish. I'm getting an early start -- smoking a AF SS as we speak! I should have the list complete tomorrow (Monday) and hopefully have this thing in the mail and rolling by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Despite what may be questionable judgment on their part, there are worse things than a school devoted to fine cars and cigars and a love of the English language. :D

So, my take on it is this. I have a couple boxes of Fumas. I was going to put in enough sticks so everyone participant can take a couple. My thought was to simply donate these to the cause -- as a thank you of sorts to those willing to participate. They're cheap, but good cigars. I just...

Great, I think I've gotten confirmation from everyone. We'll wait through the weekend to see if there are any others that want to participate, and then get things rolling.

Great! We're picking up some steam now. Just looking for a few more participants... :D

Gotcha you Puff, and revised the participant list. Need just a 2 or 3 more. If folks who are on the list could PM me with a current addy and email address, I'll start to organize the pass order.

Both... :D
