This will be an all Canadian pass.I hope it can go from coast to coast.The puts and takes will follow the same rules as any other pass as far as cigar values go.As long as the stick is of equal value or more it will be fine.The size or the tobacco make will have no bearing.If there are Cubans ,switch with Cubans.Just want it to be fun for us geeks from the GWN with not having to do it virtually or worry about customs.I will start working on the seed list in the next day or two.Would like to have at least 6 geeks but will run it with less if everyone is in agreement.

You and Nik could probably get together and hand the pass over instead of mailing it.Share a stick at the same time.

Just checked tracking #on Canada Post and it tells me that the parcel is in Edmonton Alberta and not Quebec.I sure hope it is just a glitch.I have sent Greg a message to let him know.

can you double check the address you sent it to with the tracking?

I went in and checked everything and it is right.I will keep an eye on this,if it doesn't get right soon I will have to change the order because Nik is going away for a couple weeks.

I have a couple weeks so we "should" be good.   Let's cross our fingers the package doesn't get lost.

If we have a couple of weeks we will be good. I'm planning on having a quick turn around from my end to get it to the next in line. I'll keep in touch with everyone and make sure time lines are still matching up. We can problem solve if we need to but otherwise it looks like things will still workout despite this small road bump.

i would recommend that you sign up for a small business shipping account.  Use your name as the account so when they send you a refund you can deposit it back into your bank account.   This way it cost the same amount to ship Expedite as regular mail.   You also save a little shipping to our fellow geeks south of the boarder.  https://www.canadapost.ca/cpc/en/business/small-business.page?

Post by: Vanilla Gorilla on 07/21/2018 07:04 AM
Everything arrived safe and sound. The box was in pretty rough shape though, which gave my heart a shock when I saw it. No damage to any of the sticks though! I'm looking to have my end of the pass completed by Monday afternoon. I'll update everyone once it's out and send the tracking to the next person on the list (who i have to double check who it is!) 

Great looking sticks in this pass! Thanks for including me in it @Appollo (AKA Stephen)

Greg finally received the pkg.,a little worse for ware and tear but he is looking after it,nothing damaged on the inside.Greg plans on getting it out on Monday to Nik so hopefully this leg goes a little smoother.

Title: RE: All Canadian coast to Coast Pass
Post by: appollo on 07/29/2018 05:08 PM
I have sent a couple messages off to Greg to see if there are any issues or problems with why he hasn't gotten the pass off to Nik.He said Tues.But I can't confirm that.Greg hasn't transitioned it yet.Greg read the one I sent thurs.but I have no reply from him yet.I hope all is well with Greg and his family.The PM I sent today asked if he could let me know ASAP because I might have to change the order if he doen;t get it out in the next day or two so Nik has a chance to get his picks and takes in and get it off to Karl.I will keep you yp to date when I find out anything.

To be safe could I switch with Karl?   It may be too tight and I don't want to let the sticks just sit there.  Besides, I'll be going to a little island south of Miami so I'm sure I'll have a couple more sticks when I come back :)
