Ok it's way as of yesterday, forgot to transition when I got home.  I'll do that after work and add tracking.  Thanks for the pass!

Thanks for letting me have a turn!  And very well set up pass/box.

Tracking says I'll get my hands on it Saturday!  Looking forward to it!

By the way - quick question... I thought I read something about someone putting a cigar in there specifically for someone.  Is that true, and if so, which one?  It would be my luck that that's the one I would wind up taking.

I didn't see a note about that. Hopefully if there is I didn't take...but if I did I will be sure it gets to where it's supposed to go.

I haven't heard anything about anyone wanting anything in particular. I think it's safe to snag anything in the box. If anyone has made arrangements for a particular cigar please chime in and let us know.

Thanks,

Ron

What was the value on the H. Upmann?  Cuban for non Cuban?  I'm done in this pass, just asking for the rest.

It should be Cuban for Cuban, but that wasn't stated in the rules. It is how we roll around here usually.

They are harder to get a hold of while not always being highly priced.

That is not cool at all. Integrity and honesty is surely lacking in that last put/take. It shouldn't matter if it's in the rules or not. When you know better, you should do better.

The host of this pass may be fine with it, but I am not...

I respectfully request that I be removed from this pass...

In fairness, we could give Mike the benefit of the doubt before it goes nuts.  If he hasn't sent the pass it can be clarified or corrected.  We may not agree with the put, but it is a Hemingway Sungrown, which it appears are pretty hard to come across, it is not just a regular Hemingway.  May still want to keep it Cuban for Cuban (I would) but I am not sure this is egregious as at first glance.  Let's not jump to conclusions.

The H. Upmann  is $301 per box of 25. That's about 12 bucks each not including shipping and gymnastics to get it to your door. Just addressing the value question.

For a 2017 box??  Please send me a PM and tell me where to find them!  Those 2017 boxes have been sold out for over 2 years now from any sources that I "might" know about; they're unicorns. :drool:

Sorry, that's my bad.  I haven't participated in a pass for years and some of the unwritten rules lapsed in my mind.  I switched out the Cuban for the Padron 64.  Again, I apologize for my misunderstanding and mistake.

 Valid point on the 2017.  That fact had went right past me. If I find those 2017's  I'll be sure to let you know.

I will get the box on its way to MD today.  I'm planning on heading out once the worst of this tropical storm passes.  Should be this afternoon.

Sorry again about the mistake.  It has literally been 12 years since I last participated in a Pass.  As I mentioned before, the rules that we normally recognize, whether they're stated or not, completely slipped my mind.  It's no excuse, but that's my story (haha).  I hope my correction is adequate for the group.  I definitely did not mean to try to rip anyone off or be shady or anything along those lines.  Thank you for calling me out on it.  I hope this doesn't ruin any decent reputation or image yall had of me.  I love being a part of this community and want to stay in good standing with you.  Sorry for the speech, I'll shut up now.
