Another update:
Bad news... upon further inspection (I happen to glance at it again because I thought about taking it) - #80 Untold Story Maduro is damaged at the foot. Again, no worries, I have a replacement.
Swaps:
Take: #9 Ashton ESG Torpedo ---------------------- Put: #104 Zino Platinum...
Ya, I dunno what I was thinking with the Tat stick. Confused myself.
No worries on the paper list, it's all fixed up.
Musing over Puts/Takes now. Post 'em in a few hours - got busy earlier - couldn't get 'em done.
Couple more updates:
Pass container was at 59%, so I'll be adding some humidification.
Contest container was at 55%, so I'll be adding some humidification in that, too.
The written list conflicted with the actual pass contents. MrTapes forget to update the paper list. I fixed it.
More updates...
Pass Update:
I hand inspected each cigar (in its baggy). All look perfect except the BTL - tt's ruined.

Quick update: Pass arrived. I have to work 14 hrs tonight - posting from work. Didn't have time to do a deep inspection, but externally the box has a giant hole in it. I stared at the driver like "UHH WTF?" and he apologized. I'll take pics when I get home.
So, I'll be replacing the box. P/T's...
1) Good! :thumbs:
2) I will be the first to admit that I'm not incredibly well versed in EL's. However, if memory serves, a box of Cohiba Sublimes runs about $500-$600 and the Partagas 2004's runs about mid-$300's. I think this swap is a bit short in the $ for $ department. Someone please fix...

Main post updated to reflect all Puts/Takes and cigars currently available. I don't know who's out of the LMS contest yet, I have to go home and check my sheet of passers.
Also, AVB has decided to drop out of the pass. I have crossed off his name from the pass list in the main post. I will PM...
I'm guessing you have some sort of virus/spyware/etc that has added the common virus/spyware update servers to your hosts file. Pretty typical of newer spyware/viruses - and not all that big of a deal.
Check %sys root%\system32\drivers\etc\

Off head, some things to google and get for free:
BitDefender free online scan (probably the most paranoid free online scanner).
Kapersky free online scan (second choice).
Panda Scan free online scan (not all that nice).
Malwarebytes.

I'm no longer really impressed with Lavasoft's...
Just as a prelim, I thought I'd let you know these are the sticks I have my eye on:
68) Diamond Crown Maximus Stanfords 90th (P: Sweetrice80, T: )
79) Cuaba Divinos (2007) (P: NASTY, T: )
94) Opus X Perfecxion #2 (P: SPIVY, T: )
95) Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios (2008) (P: SPIVY, T: )
97) Tatuaje...
Just as a heads up, I'm ready for this pass when it's my turn. No need to PM to verify. I am not going anywhere until May.
Thanks.
Edit: When it's my turn to post prelim P/T, shoot me a PM, Jake. I'm awfully busy with a new promotion at work + school + life. Thanks!
Jake, since Jim PM'ed me saying he was sending replacement sticks, I opted not to send additional cigars.
Also, as a final word on your trades, I asked about a half of a dozen well-respected members.
