Yeah, not sure why Brian.  When I was new I felt like I needed to earn some stripes around here and figure out how to smoke a cigar before jumping into this, but heck I'd do one of month if it were possible now... :-)

These are packaged and ready to get dropped today.  They should be there this weekend, which will give you almost 2 week els to get them smoked.  Hope that works for everyone.

I got mine in the mail today, along with not one but 3 hitchhikers! I can't thank you enough. I have already been scoping out the mystery stick and I'm pretty excited to try it. It looks, feels, and smells great! Thank you again!

I'd reckon to say that ya might want to get a bit more involved here as well, along with making amends to some of the CG vets that were, let's say, a bit perturbed by some previous posts regarding legal opinions on a forbidden fruit discussion...if this has already happened unbeknownst to me, I apologize in advance...if not, its just my friendly CG suggestion... :biggrin:  :angel:

I'm sponsoring the GC in July, so who knows, Charlie might just be a candidate!  :shy:  :biggrin:  :angel:

Still nothing here, good ol' USPS.  I have another package from New Orleans that was supposed to arrive last Friday and the tracker says that it has left New Orleans as of 1/26.  Pretty sure these are the guys routing the packages lately:

Gary, I don't know what is going on with yours.  I went and dug up the tracking on these, it has been sitting there since the 28th.

 9400111899563343398534

I do have another of these I can send out, I guess I will try and send it so it would be there by Monday, giving you until Wednesday or maybe Pete can give a day or two.  I have no idea why it is just sitting there.

Michael,

I saw something similar with a package from Trent just this last week, it arrived a good 4 or 5 days late...but his did say it departed from the New Orleans P.O., this one is as if it is still camped in Atlanta?  It may still show up on time to smoke I suppose if maybe it's actually en route just not being tracked right.  Your/Pete's call on what to do.  Happy to send one of the packages back to you if you do send out a 2nd one.  For what it's worth I had planned to smoke it on the 9th anyway, so it hasn't messed me up yet, it'll just have to be ROTT.

Thanks for the tracking info, I'll watch it.

Might I suggest you call the post office if you haven't already? A good friend of mine ordered something online and according to the tracking number it just stopped along the way and sat in a post office for 2 weeks. When he finally called them it suddenly showed up a day or two later. We think it got left in some corner of some sorting room by mistake. I don't really know the inter working of the postal service, maybe Don could shed some light if he's following this thread.

Quick question, I am planning on doing my review this weekend, and I was reviewing it tonight. What info do I enter for the cigar seeing as how it's a blind tasting?

Last time, the answer to this question was "just pick anything", and the GC sponsor will recognize your name and just change it to the correct cigar when the time is right.
