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.

No harm no foul in my book.

Good work making it right Mike. I don't think anyone thought you were trying to pull a fast one.

Also, I was asked about one of my puts. The Davidoff Special 53 is the current rerelease, not an original from 2002.

 Thanks for getting it turned around and on it's way. No worries here Mike. It's all good. I'm a rookie at this Cigar pass and it shows or I would had thought about those Cubans. I amended the rules as suggested and if there is anyone to blame it is me. Glad you decided to joined the CRA Pass!

Good morning,

I would like to apologize to the members of this pass. I reacted quickly, and in a negative way, before pausing, to speak my opinion. I was wrong to react as I did, and take full responsibility for my actions.

The trust, honesty and integrity of this site, and the folks who participate here, is simply incredible. It is the one of the reasons why I continue to be active here. I should have trusted the process to unfold as it should, and was wrong to react from a place of anger.

Ron, thank you for reaching out to me. If the group approves, I would like to rejoin the pass. If not, I understand completely.

Brian, no need to apologize.  You spoke up when you saw something wrong.  If you weren't one of the members who did so, I may not have taken notice of my mistake.  Sometimes you have to give, and in my case take, some tough love.  I appreciate you all, and if my vote counts for anything, of course I have no problem with you rejoining the pass.

I am not a member of this pass but would like to compliment both rstrawsb and mhuss on their handling of this issue.  I have seen similar passes blow up over lesser issues.

The pass order has been updated to accommodate a few more BOTL. Thanks to all who have joined. We are at 15 now. My goal was 15. Should I close it off to new members or let it open?

Thanks,
Ron

It's your pass, but 15 should be a good number.

I noticed that!  It went to Maryland, but turned around and went to NYC.  It was scheduled to arrive to Otter yesterday.  Not sure how that happened.  Sorry for the delay.  The Postal Service obviously screwed something up!

Only 43 miles from from where it was supposed to be delivered and someone put it on the wrong truck I guess.

This happens all the time around here... I've complained but it falls on very deaf ears. Apparently we aren't alone watching folks from around the country complain of mail issues.

Check the hydrometer when it arrives and open a new boveda if needed. There should be a spare in the box.

Thanks,
