So I unfortunately couldn't locate the codes on the Monte n the Cohiba, but they were 2 singles that I've had, and I'm not sure when I got them but I'd think from here at some point...? At any rate I promise to make it right for the winner of the auction by tossing in 2 more sticks to make up for not being able to locate those codes, I have a couple more sticks I do have codes for I'll include...:thumbsup:

AND SOOOOOOOOOO the madness begins - Happy Holidays Geeks!!

QuoteBewareDaPenguin - 12/9/2020  7:19 AM

What the Hell it's for the Kids and I see all you guys upping the ante here....if my Kit # 1 can get to $85 I will include a H Upp Sir Winny Box Code - UTL AGO 19 - They are fairly new, but still a stellar cigar if you have some patience in the humidor :smoker: thanks again for bidding geeks, it truly is a cool cause, it's been a rough year on all, I'm sure we will light up a few faces on Xmas day! Great community of Geeks! :biggrin:

QuoteMcBryde - 12/9/2020  8:55 PM

Updated.... Sorry about that taking so long between updates. Some brilliant soul decided to pull the fiber wire up and stretch and break it about 15 miles north of us. It was however right next to a gas line, which was cut as well, and they had to dig up 500' of concrete to fix it all. Pretty sure someone probably got fired over that screw up! LOL We are up to date though now!

QuoteDRuff - 12/11/2020  11:02 PM  If kit 4 hits 80 bucks I'll add another Juarez, another JD Howard, and a couple of surprises

I’ll bite    Kit 4 $80

QuoteSenorPablo - 12/15/2020  10:29 PM

I feel guilty about having the lock on the cash donation.  No one else wants to donate cash?  If it stays the way it is, I up my donation to $100.

QuoteMautrak - 12/16/2020  8:22 AM

This one was quiet at the end.  I remember a flurry of bids coming in the final minutes of the auction a couple years ago.

QuoteMurphy223 - 12/16/2020  6:51 PM

An empty humidor and "It's for the kids" make it a no lose situation for me so I'll take a shot.    I sent McBryde a PM

QuoteSenorPablo - 12/18/2020  12:30 AM

So I felt guilty for losing my bids and losing the cash drawing, so I donated $100 cash on top of what we gathered.  Thanks all for all the effort!!  Donation attached.

-Paul

Mautrak's (Jeremy) Mystery Package has left Buda today...what is in the package??  :shy:  :shades:  :confused:

USPS# 9534 6154 4991 0356 0520 03

QuoteMautrak - 12/23/2020  10:00 PM  Cigars landed today from Nickthafish. They look great and were packaged top notch. They could’ve gone around the world and still been in great shape. Thanks brother!

 Glad they made it fairly quick! Enjoy and thanks for bidding!

QuoteMautrak - 12/27/2020  12:46 PM

The USPS Mailman was out today (Sunday) delivering yesterday's mail.  But that worked out okay, as I got Emerson's package.  Thanks, brother!  They look great.

QuoteMautrak - 12/30/2020  7:11 AM

My surprise package from Brian was just what I hoped, and that means it was full of surprises and more than I expected.  The box was full of hats, lighter, bag, wine, humidor, portable charger, bourbon glasses, and of course, a grip of cigars.  Oh, and a raw coffee bean burlap bag.  Who would send that to someone as a surprise?  Who would like that type of thing?  I'll tell you, Brian is like Facebook.  I was literally searching those bags online recently, and then he sends me one totally unexpected.  Perfect!  And then he says if it isn't enough that I should let him know, and he'll send more!  I can't imagine.  The box was great.  Thanks brother.

Quotenirab - 12/31/2020  6:59 PM


I am happy that you enjoyed the mystery package! Now, what will be in the next one??? :biggrin:  :shades:

I am happy that you enjoyed the mystery package! Now, what will be in the next one??? :biggrin:  :shades:

So, here's the REAL bottom line.  Brian's mystery package sucked.  It was horrible.  No one should ever bid on it.  Cigars, wine, lighter, swag?  Who wants that?  No one should bid in the future.  But I'll bid, just to be nice. It is for the kids, after all.  And I'll be guaranteed to win because everyone else will be out.  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!   :smoker2:  :smoker2:  :smoker2:

Worked out a deal to receive only beer from Brian (Bstessl) and they arrived today! Very excited to try these and to finally add a Dark Lord to my collection, I’ve wanted one for years! Thank you Brian for the beer and also accommodating my request! Awesome collection of beer I can’t get my hands on out here.
