So is this perfectos only, or will it include any kind of figurado?

I do appreciate the invite but my time is very limited right now and I just can't commit to anything and don't want to be the squeaky wheel. Maybe the next one brother.

As of right now I'm going to have to decline your invite. I only have a couple figurados in my humi. If I get some more between now and your start date I would be very interested in joining.

I appreciate the invite, but I just do not have the inventory of perfecto's or figurado's to support being in the pass.  Of the few that I do have, they are more collectible

Geez! I hope this isn't too depressing for you but, I too, have so much going on right now and through the holidays I just can't commit to being around. Besides that, I have smoked every decent perfecto in my humidors!  :-(

Eric, I sent a join request, but note that I am at an overseas military APO address.  This is a US Mail domestic address but requires a customs form.  If it's too late to join, or if the extra mailing step is a hassle I'll understand if you'd rather not have me in the pass.

I got added to the pass again somehow.  Haven't been on the site in a couple days but got accepted to this pass again today.  Would love to join on but I'm out of perfecto shape as before when I ask to be dropped the last time a few weeks ago.  Not sure what happened sorry for the trouble but I don't want to mess up the pass order.

If anyone else would like to jump in the pass, I'm going to add some more cigars this week and get it sent out the week of Jan. 19-23.

Let me know if you want in or click yes if you have an invite.

Cigars are in pretty decent shape.  Humidity bar seems moist enough.  The Obsidian White Noise Double Perfecto had a cracked foot, I'll go ahead and make it a take.  I moved the uncelloed cigars to a ziploc.  The tupperdor is pretty full.

Takes:

Obsidian White Noise Double Perfecto (6 x 60, DR)

Room 101 Original 702 (6 x 54, HON)

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature (6 x 46, DR)

Bahia Matanzas Perfecto No.2 (4 x 48, HON)

La Flor Dominicana Chapter I (6.5 x 58, DR)


Puts:

CAO America Monument (6.25 x 54, NIC) (SEP 2011)
La Aurora Preferidos Ecuador No. 2 (5 x 54, DR) (JUL 2012)
Man O' War Ruination Belicoso (5.7 x 56, NIC) (DEC 2011)
Perdomo ESV 2002 Sun Grown Belicoso Limited Edition (6 x 54, NIC) (JUN 2014)
San Cristobal (core line) Maestro (6 x 60, NIC) (MAR 2009)

I checked with headfirst to verify his mailing address and then got this in the mail.  Tracking Number is 9114999944313099108975  (https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9114999944313099108975)

 

 USPS tracking link:  https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9114999944313099108975

 

PS:  one of the locking tabs was missing off of the tupperdor.  I found it in the bottom of the box.  Not sure how it got broke off, it was like that when I got it.  Tupper seems to seal good enough with 3 locks anyway, but if you really stuff it full it might have an air gap on that side that isn't locked down.

Post by: headfirst on 03/18/2015 04:26 PM
Got the pass today.  Looks like the diesel hair of the dog is a loss (wrapper crack extending 1/3 the length of the cigar), and the diesel oval and AF Best Seller have inch long wrapper cracks at the foot.  The AF Work of Art has a weird split at the seam or something.  Everything else looks ok.  I'll get this back out once Eric and I touch base.
Title: Re: Winter 2015 - The Perfect Perfecto
Post by: headfirst on 03/18/2015 07:01 PM
Ok, heard from Eric.  I will dispose of the diesel hair of the dog, see attached pic as to why and I'm going to repackage the pass in a larger box.  And there was a 5 Vegas 2008 Limitada in the pass but not in the cigar list.  Whoever put that in, it's effectively one of my takes, thank you, I've been wanting to try a Limitada!
Title: Re: Winter 2015 - The Perfect Perfecto
