OK folks maybe a Pass is what we need to kick off 2021 and smoke out this damn Rona Crap. I will plan to start this pass out mid to late January so maybe the USPS can get their act together and get back on track so we don't over age our cigars in this pass. You know the rules (if not give them a read in the pass info). I will start working on a seed list shortly.
Come one Come most if you are interested toss up a post (and hit the request button). :singing:

You and me both... Must have been some Texas weather that slowed things down. Glad you survived the big freeze! :cigarguy:
Got my P&T submitted. Thanks for having me! This will be at the PO tomorrow.
Box landed yesterday, should be able to get it taken care of tonight and back on the road tomorrow. Puts and takes have been completed virtually if anyone wants to give it a look.
Good looking P&T's Nick. This is moving along nicely :cheers:

Kent, pass moving on to Ron today. thanks for letting me play along, great pass.
I did add the suggested value of the Liberty City Washington cigar at $18. I wasn't sure how easy it would be for everyone to look up since it is only sold on one site.

So it must be something really unexpected because this korona pass is running late.
Good grief, I could had walked that package here by now. USPS should just call when the are within an hours ride and ask for assistance from the recipient. :confused:

4 of my last 5 packages have had the exact same issues. USPS is becoming more of a joke than ever.
Stogiedad sent me a box of cigars around Christmas and they had very similar troubles. They did finally make it but it had us wondering.
10 days in Gaithersburg. This is ridiculous! I don't know where to go or I would go pick it up. That town is 47 miles from me and has at least 3 post offices. My carrier said they have people out if they even get a sniffle. Really easy too get a pass from work during the pandemic. I guess I'm just an old fart. Because I say it's time to get on with business. I mean my generation grew up tough we walked to school up hill both ways during the snowstorms. We ate koronas for breakfast and worked until we dropped. I know it sounds stupid but I miss it. We need a few more tough old bastards to get this nation moving in the right direction.

I have filled out and submitted a form to USPOS to try to find out what is going on with the package. If anything it may get them looking.
I will let you know if I hear anything.
Can I file one too? I'll check.

Got it in about 30 minutes ago. The box looks like hell and the container has a busted corner but the cigars are all fine. I will get my puts and takes posted, get a new container and get this back out in the mail.
When all else fails, use more tape! I patched up the box and container and I'm pretty sure she will make it to the final destination. Forgive me to not checking with my puts and takes I wanted to get this out the door and I've been busier than a one armed paper hanger all day. I tried to take all the original seed cigars, so you wouldn't see them again. Then I filled in a few that were snatched along the way. Let's hope this pass Kills the Rona of 2021.

Thanks for having me and moderating a great pass!
Holy Shyte brother :-0
Your math skills need some work, must have taken a night class in Geek Math 101.
Thanks a ton for playing Ron.
Hoping this Kills the Rona Indeed, can't say we didn't all do our part. :thumbsup:
I had a hard time with those funny finger bags. I just assumed all the slots had to have a cigar. After a tense week or two waiting for the box to arrive I put in another cigar for every time a cursed at the Post Office.
Enjoy! :smoker:

and as hard as it is to believe the box is stalled yet one (hopefully) last time

Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."
WTF USPOS
Let me know if they lose it. I insured it for $300 just in case. You would have a hard time replacing them for that but at least it won't be a total loss.

Pass made it back safe and sound. Thanks to all that played, I will work on feedback for all in the next few days. :bigthumbs:
Geez what an adventure that box had. Thankfully it made it through.
Big thanks to everyone that worked so hard to "Kill the Rona". I believe we were damn successful. Great group of Geeks with really s**tty math skills. LOL.
Thanks again and I hope we all feel a little safer now that the rona is on the downslide.
Have a fantastic 2021 all.
