I didn't mean to offend you, Dave, I would just hate to see you stripped of your new Guru title within the first week.  After that its a slippery slope, and someone might find a FB post with you and a tall hairy stripper from the Amazon, and then you would have nuthin' left!!    :biggrin:

As long as the blender's name (ie Don Pepin Garcia), the cigar line (ie Punch), even just the cigar name (ie Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum) has a word that starts with a P or Q, it's good.

And of course, the basic rules of pass etiquette apply.

This will make it alot easier.  I was thinking the brand had to start with P & Q.  Q would be a tough one.

No, dammitalltohell!  But I've still got some unbanded Fonseca 2011 overruns and some other unbanded Quesadas that I'll throw in the box.  I'm pretty sure I've got enough to where everyone can take one on me without having to make a "put" in exchange.

Title: RE: Watch your P and Q's!
Post by: gitfiddl on 06/08/2014 12:14 PM
My sincerest apologies, gentlemen, for the delays in getting this one off the ground.  I hope everyone is still in.  I've got it packed and ready to ship tonight if this thunderstorm blows through.  I hope I've got enough variety in the starters to make it interesting.  Like I said at the start, as long as there is a capital P or Q in the blender's name (or well-known nickname), the brand's name, or the name of the individual cigar, it's all good.  And if the box sits on your desk for a day or two, I'm not gonna make a big deal about it.  Trust me, I know how life is.

Since my Fonsecas disappeared (something about a wedding of a friend who's last name is Fernandez and a son of mine thought the "F" was appropriate), I have put enough Fonseca 2011 overruns for each to take one.  I'm also tossing in a couple of JetLites.  If anyone needs a torch, grab one.  They'll burn any butane you feed them.

Thanks again for playing!

Sorry!  Since I've stopped playing keyboards in our band for a bit, my dexterity is a little off.  :shamebag:

And for those worried about container size and whatnot  :shades:, I "nested" the Glad container with the cigars in another Glad container, should the pass outgrow the first.  I did a test-fit and both will fit in the box...

Don Pepin Garcia did the old (prior to 2014, blue and gold band) 5 Vegas Miami.  George Rico is the current manufacturer of the Miami series (black and gold band that reads "Hand Made in USA).  From what little I can glean from the internet (other forums and Wikipedia), AJ does the AAA (maybe the A as well), Quesada is involved with the Relic, and Nestor Plasencia does the Classic, Gold, Gold Maduro, and Cask Strength.

And yes, I am a 5 Vegas whore.  The only 5 Vegas cigars I haven't liked have been a couple of the Limitadas.

AJ Fernandez, I believe.

Don Pepin Garcia did the old (prior to 2014, blue and gold band) 5 Vegas Miami.  George Rico is the current manufacturer of the Miami series (black and gold band that reads "Hand Made in USA).  From what little I can glean from the internet (other forums and Wikipedia), AJ does the AAA (maybe the A as well), Quesada is involved with the Relic, and Nestor Plasencia does the Classic, Gold, Gold Maduro, and Cask Strength.

And yes, I am a 5 Vegas whore.  The only 5 Vegas cigars I haven't liked have been a couple of the Limitadas.
 :shades:

That's right, now I remember that AJ does the AAA and A.  I didn't realize that Plasencia did the Classic. :thumbsup:

I spoke with the postmaster at lunch.  He said he will check with the carrier as soon as she returns, but he thinks it was mistakenly scanned forward, and possibly sitting in a holding bin.  Should have me an answer this afternoon.  I will keep you updated, but maybe I will have tomorrow.  It was not in the mail today though.

I just got a reply from my friend Brian, who, like I said before, manages the PO that this pass originated from:

"It says it was delivered at 9:43 am. But there was a notation that said, "This is not a valid delivery address". Then scanned as forwarded. We're getting new technology and scans all the time. I've never seen that one before. Not sure what it means. I'll check it out and let you know something tomorrow."

Brian is good peeps.  I've known him for 10 years or so now, and our kids went to school together.  He's helped me out once or twice with other USPS issues, so we'll see what comes of this.

Highly doubtful, I completely covered the label with packing tape. I've shipped over 70 bombs/trades (mostly on reddit's r/cigars) and never had this issue.

Karl, my end of the pass is headed your way, finally!  Let me know when it gets there.

I had a few issues like our bank account getting hacked.  I couldn't bring myself to tell Diana I needed to mail off a package when we were cleaning out the freezer and pantry for food. Luckily, I'd frozen enough pork and chicken in the deep freeze and had plenty of charcoal.  I went to the bank to try to straighten everything out and was informed that my drivers license was expired.  Great, that's another $48/$15 delinquency fee I didn't have.  And then we couldn't find my birth certificate, which meant another $24 to the great state of North Carolina...

I cancelled my debit card and our credit union has been phenomenal in helping us resolve this issue.  They've credited me back all the overdraft charges ($30/pop) and their fraud department has managed to recover all but about $200 or so.

It was an eye-opening experience for sure.  Without getting into too much more detail, we've got various retirement-type accounts, so it wasn't like we were dead broke, but I didn't want to have to pay the penalties for a loan/withdrawal.  And since I'm not gigging anymore, discretionary/extemporaneous cash flow is non-existent.  Suffice it to say that account numbers and whatnot have been changed.  

I'd still like to know why it only cost Karl $2.95 CAN to mail his to me and it cost me $8.80 US to mail mine to him...
