I sent it out this morning, before 10 AM. Confirmation number is recorded, pass transitioned. Check out my puts and takes.

Turboknat · 04/06/2008 06:57 PM

Alright, its headed my way. Sorry I have been silent, I have been doing a bunch of homework for school, and was tied up. I was keeping tabs, just didn't have time to comment. I am looking forward to it. Larry, looks like some interesting puts.

Ok, I received the pass today. Getting ready to go through it now. Lots of items to check out here.

Turboknat · 04/08/2008 01:16 PM

Ok, guys, I did my takes and puts, and added one to the loto bag. I plan on getting it out to you Bob tomorrow, Thursday at the latest. The box is definately full, I'll tell you that. Bob, there are some ISOM's in the box, I know you were excited to try one.

Bob Cordell · 04/08/2008 01:36 PM

I thought the Oliva Series V Perfecto, which I bought for the pass, was one of the most beautiful perfectos I've ever laid eyes on. Having smoked other Vs,
I know the blend is very good.

Glad to see the box is humming along. I included an extra tuperware box in case it was needed.

Bob Cordell · 04/08/2008 08:10 PM

I feel like I'm waiting on the Holy Grail of cigars to arrive!

I will only take what I can put back the equal of. I dont have that many expensive smokes to put back in. I am however expecting four Montecrosto Media Noches to arrive about the same time. Is it proper to put back a cigar when theres already one in the box? I'm speaking of the El Ray del Mundo, I noticed there was a Larga (toro) size in there that hasn't been taken out yet. I have several Robusto sizes and would like to put one in for someone who hasnt tried them yet.

I am going to my local B & M before I resend though. I'll buy some of my favorite premiums to go in! Somebody will like the MC Media Noche, I'm sure!

There are no hard and fast rules, just do what you think is fair. No one is making fancy calculations to police the fairness.

Bob Cordell · 04/08/2008 09:45 PM

Thanks Larry, I appreciate it but this is my first pass and I want to be straight up. I want to be invited to do this again!

I am going to snag my first ISOM cigar, overrated or not...just to brag to the pals!

Have you sent it out yet? The pass section shows you haven't. Don't forget the tracking number. Especially with the weather so bad. If you sent it, please indicate so. How's the weather?

Turboknat · 04/12/2008 12:36 PM

Ok, guys, I'm back in action. Bob, I appologize for getting this out so late. I had it boxed, sealed and ready to go last Wednesday night. Thursday morning, I woke up sick as a dog. My wife is out of town this week, and I couldn't even get out of bed. I missed work and such. Anyway, I finally am felt good enough to leave this morning, and I have just come back from mailing off the package to you. You should get it in 2-3 mailing days. Like I said, sorry for the delay. I checked the humi packett that was included last Wednesday night before I sealed everything, and it was moist, so I don't expect any humi problems. Just the same, though, check it yourself, and see if it needs something added. Mail and humidification always makes me nervous. But, the containers are nice, though, so there should be a good seal in those too. Have fun.

Bob Cordell · 04/12/2008 02:42 PM

No problem, I've had Bola-Bola myself all week too. I've been on every medicine that the doctor could think of to put me on.

I can maybe enjoy and taste them now.

Turboknat · 04/12/2008 09:40 PM

I hope so. I felt ok today, and decided try a smoke, one of my favorites, tonight. But my taste buds must still be screwed up from being sick. It tasted horrible. Had to put it out. I'll probably wait a week or two before having one again.

The Rags to Riches Cigar Pass is now one month old. Is that a lot?

Nobody posted any messages 3/13/08 (EDT)! It was a Sunday the 13th, not a Friday the 13th! Geez.

Winter passes will move smoother if all participants get flu vaccines.
