Congrats on the win Mike.   That pic of Brian is way off from his Kat Von D avatar lol

Must not have State Farm for insurance "I gotcha a dollar"

Second that on Gary. He has been a real help guiding this pass through. Just failed me on Delicia showing up with the pass.

I agree regarding CI pricing. While they have some really good deals sometimes, overall CI enjoys a reputation of being the least expensive that I think is often misleading. And, admittedly, I find I overspend on CI for things I really don't need like the circular ice cube tray I added to an...

Looks like solid put and takes to me. Appears Theron may be taking a liking to the lancero. Nice !!

Pass shipped out to today.    UPS Tracking No. 1z8845x90312337833. Shows anticipated delivery on Monday, 2/28.   Handing off to Theron.   Thanks for letting me participate.

Gary,    My apology on this and being a pain in the ass.   When bagging the Cain Daytona 654T, I noticed a residue that could be plume but could be mold. If I had to guess, I am going with mold as these are stored in a coolidor loose with no cellophane.   I am not comfortable putting it in the...

Well, was able to finish quicker than I thought, so here are the revised Puts and Takes per Gary's advice. Coordinating with Theron to ship.   Puts                                     Takes                           Delta...

Gary,   Will do. I will recalculate and post revised P/T tonight.   Best    Chip   BTW, if Delicia needs the gate code to my place, have her PM me.

Thanks for the reminder on the list numbers. P/T's edited.

Pass has landed today. Humidity is 73%, Temperature 63 degrees. I inventoried the cigars and all are accounted for (absent the Centurion). The box has seen its better days and the corners are losing rigidity. I will replace with a new shipping box (of course I had the perfect box I threw away on...

While I have not purchased one of these, I can tell you that you should feel free to negotiate on the price. A local B&M has them for sale as singles. Good shop and the owner is a nice guy. When discussing how he would price them originally, he thought $106 ($5300/50). I reminded him that this...

Best wishes and prayers for you and your family. 

Pass Package Update   I went to the post office Saturday morning. The USPS tracking showed the package was "in" but apparently there is an additional "step".  At any point, they said it had not been received for delivery. It was around 8:30, and this location closes at noon. I could not make it...

Thanks for the handoff Nick. Will let the group know when received.

I wasn't paying attention until the chic pics showed up.   Question, why is this under the Completed Pass category ?

Is she coming in the package ? Just need to know so I can straighten up a bit.

"Remember, cigars are like women's breasts, you need to touch & feel them in order to get more familiar with their finest traits."   Really ?? Lmao, worst analogy ever for something that you cut and smoke to develop familiarity. 

I checked in with Nick, so standing by when he is ready.

I had found that the Padron's over the past few years did not resonate with me the same. I noticed this in '09/10, but honestly, I had moved to Denver and thought maybe the altitude has affected my taste buds.   To Gary's post above, excellent point.   The way Padron managed the 50th anniversary...
