You are very correct. Unfortunately I forgot my rule as to only reading and not typing after a night out. I am sure everything will work out in the end.

I do think every thing will turn out fine in the end.  :biggrin:

Okay Gentlemen, you are now labeled "The Dirty Bakers Dozen". We are standing at 13 and I will close the pass tomorrow evening. Check here for updated contest details.

Okay Gentlemen, the pass is now closed and we have have 15 participants. I will now assign the order the cigars will be passed. Note: There will be 15 identical cigars labeled no. 1. You are each to take one of those. There will also be another 15 cigars labeled 2-16, it will be your choice to pick one of them as well. Please identify your take (2-16) on the cigar pass take page.

I would let the cigars rest a bit in your humi because they may be a bit under humidified because of the travel.

Smoke them at will and review them here in this thread as soon as you like. When you review your (2-16) labeled cigar, be sure to post the number with the review.

Once each participant has submitted their two reviews the guessing will begin.

Sounds great. Do we have a resting time limit or a time when you want all reviews to be posted?
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

Well, I suppose once the last person receives his 2 cigars, the rest of the group will have had time to let them rest a bit and smoke them as well. Also...I would ask that if anyone has any travel/shipping disposable humidifying pouches, if they could put them in the box to help keep the cigars as humidified as possible. I don't have anything like that here with me now.

The order of mailing has been designated and I will try to get them oot tomorrow (Mon) or Tuesday at the latest.

If anyone guesses both of their cigars in their first guess then they could definitely be considered a real champion.

Package received in good shape at 530pm.  Made my picks - one from each baggie (one baggie of #1's only and second baggie of various) .  I've already repacked and will do my very best to route outta here tomorrow.  I'm gonna look for some humi-beads to drop into the box too.  Plan to give the 2 sticks a wee bit of time in the humi and then the fun starts!

Bob, on to you next!

Cool, maybe I'll get the pass next week. Its colder than a ex mother-in-laws heart here and I hope it warms some soon. Being one of the first to get the pass I'll have some extra time to enjoy the smoke on a warmer day.

Bob,

The Box is on it's way to you.  I'll transition when I get home after work as I can't remember what # cigar my second pick was!  I'll put the tracking number in at that time, but it's outta here! (via USPS)

It seems the package has arrived in Bob's hometown this morning at 3:10am. I suppose they will deliver it to his home today.

Ok, I took a number one and then selected number 5. It looked like a Connie Shade wrapper!


I'll guess later....Thanks Pete!
