7th Annual Spring Forward Box Pass.

[Frost]

Hey Ed, Your puts/takes shows that you put some Cairo into the box, but I don't see it in there. I do see two tins of Robusto though, one dated '09 and another from '03, but by my count there should only be one Robusto tin? Is it possible that two Robustos were dropped instead of one Robusto & one Cairo?

I did a quick check through this thread and don't see that anyone picked the Cairo...I didn't want it or anything, just noticed when looking through the puts/takes and thought I should post in case anyone was waiting for it or is keeping track of these things...any idears?

Edit: I also see that Dave took Haddo's Delight, but I don't see that there ever was any put into the box. Lol.

Frost,

Thanks much for posting the pics - your cat has good taste (sniffing that big tin of GLP Westminster). Enjoy!

 

[Justpipes]

Great photos Frost! Good request Kap!

Man, now I just want to get my hands on that box even more

 

[puros_bran]

Just did some math... 13 players left... 11 weeks until I go out of the country for 10 days...

I'm going to have to cut the last 3 guys off the list so I get that back before I leave. Just kidding.

Alright men, two pipes at a time! Pretend you're tobacco beetles and drop the hammer on that stash. :lol:

 

[puros_bran]

Lol. I really don't care if it comes back before or after.... If it starts looking like it'll come back while I'm gone I'll have Pdiddy hold it and smoke up those samples....

I haven't made up my mind but I am considering (don't hold me to it just yet) having a contest at the end (open only to the players in the pass) for all the samples left over.

Translation: I don't want all this leftover Walnut,,,, :roll:

 

[puros_bran]

Shoot yeah I do.. Actually I've been thinking about buying a few tubs of it.. You see, I tossed some out a few weeks back someone had sent me and not only did it kill the grass but it also killed one of the moles that have been destroying my yard.. Weed Killer AND Varmit Extermination all in one can... How can you beat it?

Tsk tsk tsk, when smoked Walnut kills any bad stuff in your body!

 

[Frost]

Well I figured out what I'm putting and what I'm takin'. Sampled some Uhles, Westminster and this morning C&D Orthodoxy. Been sick and going in and out of a fever induced semi-comatose delirium periodically since Saturday, so I haven't been able to smoke as much as I would have liked.

I'm gonna get a new box on my lunch break today, collect a couple samples for later and maybe have a bowl of sumthin when I get home from work, then put the puts and take the takes and hopefully send it on it's way Saturday. I'll make another post later that says whatall I done did with the samplin' smokin', puttin' and takin'.

 

[Justpipes]

Sorry to hear you are sick Frost. Eat more peppers and drink more whiskey!

 

[Frost]

Okee Dokee, I'm all set. The tobacco is all set up in it's new box, ready to go once I drop it off at the Post office tomorrow. May not get online until late tomorrow night or Sunday morning to post the confirm #, but rest assured I will most certainly do so once I am able. Here's the dirty details of what happened in my all to brief love affair with the box of delight:

Sampled
C&D Orthodoxy
Orlik Dark Strong KY
GLP Westminster
Frog Morton Across The Pond
C&D Barrister
WALNUT

Also took a bowl or so of some White Burley, Black Rope & a bit more DS KY for later.

Takes
Ferndown Black & Tan
Peterson's Sherlock Holmes

Puts
GLP Chelsea Morning
MacBaren's Virginia #1, circa 2000 (Swisher tin)

Puts for Samplin'
Boswell's Dan's Blend (somwhere in between a straight and a lightly aromatic VA. Try it, it's good!)
Park Lane Knightsbridge (rec'd as a free sample from park lane. A nice moderately full bodied English. Try it, it's good!)
Park Lane Connoisseurs Flake (Va Based mixture with some cavendish. Something like 15 different kinds of tobacco. Try it, it's good!)
McClelland's Oriental Mixture #1 (Tin was from 1998 so it's got some age on it. Try it, it's REALLy good!)

Too Funny.. Good Pass Bro.

 

[Justpipes]

Great pass Frost! Especially in light of the fact that you are under the weather. You will love that White Burley!

Nice Pass! :tongue:

Anything is possible. I had an open tin of Cairo and a sealed tin, now I only have the open one. I am missing a Haddo's Delight and a Great Hiatus. As far as I can tell, I don't know the answer.

[Frost]

Well there was definately a sealed SHPC Great Hiatus in the box, and dave indicated that he traded for a Haddo's, so I guess that splains it.
