    Big stink about Shuji

    Absolutely! I wanted to make this newbie pass a good experience. I am still waiting for it get going, my anticipation has long since faded. You can bet I won't let anything happen like this when I am involved in a pass. The pass tradition should be sacred and treated with respect. This one...

    New Year Pass

    My 2 cents worth!! As a newbie I was quite happy that I was allowed to enter this FNG pass. I wanted to be part of a pass that would go smoothly and help build my reputation on the board. Shujji just needs to take care of business. I think all of those participating in this pass were pretty...

    I just went back to USPS.com and entered the DC number from Shujji. This is the message I am getting! You entered DC01 0385 5574 9252 1667 00 Tracking service has not been purchased for this item. I will continue to wait for the package! Roboref

    How to cut a torpedo?

    Where do you make the cut on a torpedo cigar? I have been working on regular ones to get a cut that opens about 75 to 80 % of the available area. Do I use this same rule of thumb on torpedos?

    New Year Pass

    The cigars I ordered are scheduled to be here on the 16th, so I will be ready to pick up the pass and move it along when it gets here. The great Joe M will hopefully be helping me out on the put's and take's. If we can connect.

    Can these be saved?

    Just an update, I went and got the digital hygrometer just to be sure. It measured 65%. The cigars seem to be slightly more pliable, and not crunchy as before. The cigars are smoking great so all my problems seem to be solved and thanks for all the help.

    New Year Pass

    As promised I will do my best! Shujii is it on it's way to me, or did another passer get placed in front of me? I know the last order of pass showed me following you.

    Cable vs. Dish

    Dish Network!! We had cable for many years, price kept going up! Had dish for 3 years had one $2 increase. Plus the biggest advantage of Dish to me is the PVR recievers( TIVO like). It has revolutionized the way I watch TV. Have very little problem with weather reception though with trees...

    How do you get credit for posts?

    I joined on 12/21. I have been posting and joining in discussions like crazy. I just noticed that my post credit showed 15. Is the # just for topics started, or is it supposed to count each time you add a reply to a discussion already going? The other possibility is that do you get credited at a...

    Triple D, I am new to the group and would like to join a pass if it is not to early in my time on CP. What would be the average price per cigar in this pass. My concern is giving equal value & quality for what I get. I have a small collection, so anything i put in I would probably have to go...

    Can these be saved?

    Still working on it! The last couple of nights I have wiped the top and lip and areas where no cigars are touching the cedar with a cloth dampened with distilled water. The RH is now 62%. So I am getting closer to what I want it to be. I would be happy with the climate and envoronment here in NM...
