Here is a question that some may have. I have some AF 8-5-8's and some others not in cellos. Would you only prefer ones in cellos for shipping reasons?

is it better to send it now or wait a little until its closer to time for the big package to go out. either way is ok by me.

Whatever is easier for you.  I plan on putting everything in a coolidor until it is time to ship.

I have some extra cello and the six finger baggies for those cigars that I receive without cello.  Feel free to send them.

Count me in.  I'll get a package to you soon.
Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstion.  They avoid rather than confront the world.  But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the cosmos even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries.-Carl Sagan

Glad I caught this thread. Nathan, thanks for coordinating this event again, you're a true champ.
Expect a drop-shipment to come your way.

And a special thanks to all you who are participating. The guys and gals love it when big packages show up.

It's cheaper and you get FREE delivery confirmation when you pay online also.

Nate, going to try and get a package out by the end of the week before I leave. If for some reason I can't it will be out for sure before the deadline. Also shoot me a PM and LMK what's the status on donations for the shipping costs and I will throw some cash in the box for that as well.
