Don't worry about it. Take your time, do what you need to do. Nobody needs a box of cigars enough to rush you through this. Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope there's a cigar in that box that will trigger a happy memory for you...

Ok, now that he's mailed the box and it's well out of Texas, it's probably safe for me to tell you a "Mickey story" :) I started reading alt.smokers.cigars (ASC) in the 2nd half of May of this year, and lurked there for, oh... it must've been 3 or 4 minutes before I started posting my inane...

Ok, just got back from the PO, box is on its way to Hawaii. DC 0301 0120 0004 0415 0522 Heads up!

No sweat. I had the same problem with the Gumbo pass :)

Turns out it say "Habano" ("o", not "a") -- my mistake. Not a big deal. It's not like I'm totally screwed or anything, and for all the times I've contributed to some minor botch or another in some pass, it's probably good karma for me to drop in the Cohiba. Robusto, I believe, although you...

So, this means that no matter how badly I botch up the box, PB will "make it look good"? Wow, such a deal! :lookup: :p

Nah, not a problem. Besides, I already taped up the box :) (A kind offer, though -- and now I can whine about them putting "Habana" on the band of a non-cuban cigar <sigh>) Although... I didn't get to the PO in time to mail it, today (about 2 minutes after closing :\), so it won't go out...

I could play, if you'll have me. Info in profile.

In the box, I got: * Packing material * Empty tupper * Full tupper * (Cigars, of course :)) * Lots of sticky labels * Cover letter * Many copies of same recipe * Addresses sheet (2 pages.) No puts/takes. Ok, here's my P/T: Take: #5 LGC Serie R #7 HdM Excalibur 1066 #9 Camacho (says Habana...

Well, I was going to try to rush this out by noon (got plans for the afternoon & evening) -- but I think I'm going to wait until I see the sheet. I guess I'll check it again about 11:30 (am) and, if it's up, I'll mail, otherwise, it won't go out until Monday. Sorry for the delay, just want to...

Ok, I can't get the spreadsheet link to work (it worked yesterday or 2 ago) -- "connection failure occurred" -- and now it's approaching bedtime. All I want to know is if either #5 or #7 are ISOM. I think not (no "habana" on the band), but I don't want to be grabbing a bunch of ISOMs and...

Heh, thanks all. It's pretty easy to be quick when you only do takes and forget your puts :D (Dave: The "puts" box went out today, as promised :lookup: ) Mickey's an ok guy -- just don't let him "mark" your humidor... :p I still wanna know what :sign: is intended to signify...

Ok, well... There's good news and there's ...uh... weird news (x2). Good news: Pass got here, cigars look to be fine. Weird news #1: No put/take list. I guess I'll have to spread those babies out and man-handle each one of them to see what's in here. Weird news #2: I noticed that the list...

Before you settle this once & for all, please wait until my "sent" ticket shows on the web. My "received" ticket shows 11:01AM, not 11:03 as my watch said. In my post, above, I wasn't quoting web-times, but rather my estimation as "I believe that, once the dust settles, you will see that..."...

Dude -- I never got either of your CP messages. A snail-mail I sent you (thank you card for being in my 1st pass) came back "addressee unknown) 2 e-mails I sent you went unanswered. I called 411 and asked for a phone # for you (worked when you were in my 1st pass), they said "never heard of...

Well, you can tell it however you want, but I believe that, once the dust settles, you will see that 0300 1290 0005 1801 1135 was delivered on 9/26/02 at 11:01am and that 0300 1290 0005 1801 1128 was scanned-in on 9/26/02 at 11:24am -- 23 minutes. That includes a trip across the street to the...

My bad -- I typed the link from memory, rather than looking it up. The link in my post (above) has been fixed. Try now.

Ok, I'm here, I'm ready. Cripes, I practically slept through Dave's pass -- it went so *FAST* and I was last! Damn. Ok, ok... I'm on it. What are we doing, again? :D Ok, ok... I'm on my way to the PO... This one's just a plain old pass, right? No fancy rules, I don't have to smoke...

What? Huh? Hmmm? Dang! Is this pass over, already?! I thought I was last!!! Damn, I was planning on taking my puts down to the PO and being there when they opened the day the box came, to try to beat the 54 minutes, or whatever. Well, I guess I botched that one. Ok, I'll go get it...

I send snail-mail to Gekko after my last pass, and it came back "addressee unknown." Since then, I left e-mail (a week or 2 ago), and tried to call -- no reponse. He originally signed-on for my current pass (TGE), but I had to pull him, when I couldn't get ahold of him. Someone let us know if...
