Alright guys, Jared says his source may be higher than mine. I'll be @ BM today and noticed they are getting low on these tats so I'll get some while I can.
Whoever is interested post here instead of pm. I'm splitting at my cost plus shipping, which should come to somewhere around 52 shipped.
I think my bm has 4 or 5 boxes left.
I'm in...
Jared in for 10. Brad how many?
I'd like to try a few. Let me know when you have the cost per stick Michael. Thanks!! :biggrin:
I'd be down for a 5er of those, please!

I'll take whatever you have up to a box. Thanks of pulling this off!
I will take 5 please
i would take a box...
Wow, kinda blew up on you man
Thanks Michael! Think I'll smoke one tonight. On appearance they are indeed different than regular brown label. Plus I like closed and shaggy foot cigars.

I'm having one myself at the moment.
I'll take 2 or 3 depending on what you have left.
Thanks
Guys my bm has plenty left...16 boxes... I'll leave this up a few days before buying. If we can get to 5 boxes I can get per stick price down to 8.79.
any news on theses?
I found some but, I have to go to Texas to get them.......
I'll take 10 if this is still open.

Smurf, if you get that box and can spare a fiver, you'd be a pal! (As long as u don't give them away this time and actually accept my payment!)
It's still open. I can get these 25% off msrp if we get to 5 boxes. Anything less than that is 20% so we're gonna have a good price either way. I'll probably leave it open till Sunday.
Do we need a breakdown of where we are/how many we need to go?
I'll be in for 5.
Ntxsage- 20
Longhorn- 20
Smurf- 20
Burn Ward- 10
Kman- 10
Jumberlack- 5
Thinblue- 5
Nkowal- 5

100 - 5 boxes
Got me... can I get a 5er please?
I'm in for 5
Thanks burn ward! I planned to do that but glad you beat me to it.
I can go for anywhere from 10 to a box because ive already bought several. So right now we're right at 5 boxes, but if a few others want in I'd have no trouble going to 6 and keeping a box myself. We'd need 10 more claimed to get 6 boxes. I'll buy this weekend and ship next week.

Mark me down for five as well. If available if not no worries sir.
I'll take 10, or whatever you can spare Michael. If you can, ship them with the GC stick. PM me payment details, OK? Thanks.
Bah, I have to back out. Unforseen cost just arose.
Got ya Wes. Last call on these...headed to BM tomorrow. Will post tally again tomorrow to confirm everyone's order.
Please bump me to 5 total. GPD4 wants a couple as well.
Thanks

Shoot wes sorry about that. I already started putting your box together and planned to fill yours with 5 out of my box and 5 I already have. I'll go ahead and add to the list in case someone else wants in and we need a 7th box.

No worries. I figured it was a simple clerical error. Having done a few box splits, I know how easy it is to do. :biggrin:
Thanks for doing this Michael !! :bigthumbs:
Alright gents...with this split and the geeks awaiting Jan review stick from me I have 19 boxes to send out in the next few days. First 7 went out today...anyone who ordered 10 or more has yours en route.
I'll post the total for everyone, along with a DC once I get everyone shipped. I had hoped to be done today, but the size of the TAAs threw a monkey wrench in my plans for boxes.
looking fwd to trying these!
Everyone is now boxed up and postage paid or already shipped. If you want the DC send me a PM, otherwise I'll get around to updating this google doc with all the DCs when I get more time tomorrow or Wed.
We got 25% off of a 10.99 stick price. With texas @ 8.25% tax, my cost came to 8.92/per for 140 cigars.
Actual shipping plus your order is shown below. I prefer lapyap to the email address in my profile. Friends and Family or you pay the fee, and no mention of cigars please. For any alternate method of payment shoot me a PM.
Spreadsheet linked below has everyone's total. Jeff's order is already shipped, but Matthew is coordinating the details for that (mpurtle).
Let's consolidate acknowledgements on this thread.....cause you know I had to sneak a little TNT in on some of ya'll! :dancing:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AnLp0zpP2VkEdGRMclljS0JhbVRzcnNpZ3lrc2pwbGc&single=true&gid=0&output=html
Done. Thanks again for doing this!
Thanks everyone for saying yes. Hope we can keep this a surprise. The split between 14 of us is $6.74 including shipping. Just send to Ntxsage since he paid it all. Awesome!
Paid
Okay...before anyone else pays...please check the google sheet. It's now updated with the group contribution.
Also everyone's DC is also updated. Hopefully everyone's sticks make it there ok as I had to stuff some of those boxes pretty full and not much room for packing materials.
Payment Sent! Thanks for doing this!
Done, thanks brother.
sent, thanks for the split.
Well mine arrived today. You should have warned me to caution my neighbors because there's a crater in the street where my mailbox once was!!! Truly blown away with Michael's generosity. Thanks brother, it really made my day.
Wow that is awesome! Great job Michael
Glad they made it Kerry. Hope you enjoy! All I ask is anyone getting a bomb in their package please leave bomber feedback.
I want that gold badge for christmas! :biggrin:
Holy s**tballs!
nice! very sneaky!

Already gave feedback for both Box Splitter and Bomber.... after all, it was the least I could after that explosion!!
Mine arrived as well with carnage to boot! Pics coming soon.
Feedback Left for bomb and split. You da man Michael! :biggrin:
Payment sent today. Thanks Michael! :biggrin: :bigthumbs:
Payment sent! Thanks, and I can't wait!!!!!!
Very nice. Can't wait to get mine tomorrow
I got mine, safe and sound. lapyap sent, all feedback left.
And Ntxsage included a huge bomb of rare and hard to find sticks. Way over the top. WOW.
Thank you very much Michael, very well done. Please let me know any time you are doing a box split.
And BOOM goes the Dynamite or what was left of my mail box and front of my house.
Leaving feedback for Split and for the massive bomb.
Thanks so much
Michael don't play. Fantastic set of explosions! :bigthumbs:

Kev I had a cool note for your box, but got in a rush trying to meet the post office last pickup and left the note out. Glad u enjoy. After that was in too big a hurry and no more notes. Hope it didn't seem too impersonal with sticks just showing up.
Considering we had a high of 31° here today, I figure my mailbox was protected. Probably should have left my packages there.

Oh, and the Tats look yummy too!
Feedback forthcoming. Be warned. It shall note that someone does not play fair!
Holy smoke you guys play dirty, I love it.
BTW, what is that cigar on the far right. Pardon my ignorance, I am clueless for that one.
AB Fine & Rare 2012!
Still trying to identify the pigtail and the shaggy!
QuoteTed - 11/21/2013 7:30 PM AB Fine & Rare 2012! Still trying to identify the pigtail and the shaggy!
The shaggy one is the La Palina The Family Series Pasha.

When it rains it pours. My mailbox has been a flood of riches lately. I think I can figure out four of these, but what is the beautiful bandless one?
Thank you brother, most generous. Bomber and Splitter feedback left.

The unbanded one is a Viaje TNT...on your wishlist I believe. Enjoy!

Oups, I'm editing this, I was writing my post when the answer to this question was posted.
I felt this cigar was too short for a TNT, wrong again. Keep on learning.
Thanks.
Guess I wasn't paying attention, I had classified the pigtail as a TNT but I see it's not the case.
It looks more like a wick than a pigtail, I'm intrigued.
Not a Blue mountain, La China, Tatuaje, Viaje, or a JFR. What is it.

Kman is right shaggy is the Pasha. Pigtail is (i believe) Gran Habano STK barracuda.
Excellent bomb! Thanks again.
Still trying to recover from the massive crater left where my mailbox was. Post pics soon. Thanks Mike!!!
I am not quite sure what to say here other than I am humbled like everyone else who received such an awesome bomb. I would've just been happy with what I ordered let alone the high end sticks you sent along. Thanks again, oh and now I have your addy (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/Whistle.gif)

Let Michael know and I'm sure he can get them replaced.
Scott I should be able to get those replaced no problem. Send them back and I'll swap them at bm. I didnt notice any split wrappers when packing...a couple with minor flaking on the foot was about it.
Okay great thanks mike I appreciate that. Sorry for the bother
QuoteThinBlueLine - 11/22/2013 2:18 PM

Were any of the other cigars damaged or only the tats? If you don't mind, could u post a pic so I can know whether this was shipping damage or something else?
No other cigars just the tats. And yes I will but will be a while I'm working now.
Here they are...
Wow that's pretty bad. I should have no problem getting those swapped out at the b&m.
Anyone else has this kind of damage let me know.
Thanks mike I will get you a dc # shortly
This makes me nervous. This has happened to me quite a bit with overseas shipping. I think it's a temp/ humidity issue.

I'm pretty sure it's a temp humidity issue as well. I should've taken more time with it and made sure everyone was shipped with a humidity pack, but I had 19 boxes to ship and didn't want to eat that much in media costs. Lesson learned though. Next time I run a split I'm going to factor in additional shipping costs and include the proper media.
yikes... they do look dried out.. that sucks.
Any of these still available?
Well...they came in. Damn dude! Embarrassingly enough to say, I have now been bombed by this guy twice in a row with no recourse.... Hmm.... Well, this is what I got! Crazy!
On a side note, only 1 with a real crack but all above the band. 2 others with some tiny cracks. WHEW! Nothing I can't repair myself.. Thanks brother! Can't wait to get into them!
Glad they made it Matt.
Jrod, horse already left the barn on this one.
I got my "five" in today. This makes two days in a row that when I go to visit the mailroom, all that I can find is a smoldering crater!
Thanks Mike for the split, and thank you again for the incredible bomb that came with!
ok guys this is almost done. Scott's replacement sticks should take flight no later than Friday and that will be a wrap. Thank you to everyone who participated. If I missed anyone's feedback shoot me a pm.
