7th Annual Spring Forward Box Pass.

[happypipester]

Humidity's fine, and I don't believe any had been taken out of it. I'm guessing it just came unsealed during the ride to IA. I planned on trading for it anyway, so I'm going to treat it as a sealed tin.

Cheers!

 

[Carlos]

It's a very good blend. I don't know who really tins it for them. But I do like those tins. Enjoy!

 

[DoverPipes]

Working my way through the box, looking at the samples and deciding on trades.
Tried some Boswell's Berry Cobbler and Quiet Nights. Both are very nice.
Cheers!

Glad you liked the Boswell's!!!
Great pass by the way.

What criteria do you have to meet to be able to participate in this? :?:

 

[Kapnismologist]

What criteria do you have to meet to be able to participate in this? :?:

A thousand matches, an iron tongue, and some serious time on your hands (no, seriously, I am sure PB will update you in due course - or perhaps just go back to the first post in the thread and read on from there).

 

[happypipester]

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted too many updates. I haven't had a great deal of pipesmoking time, so I've put several 1-2 bowl samples in ziplocs for future sampling. I'll have a listing of puts, takes, confirmation number, etc. posted tomorrow.

 

[happypipester]

Wasn't able to get the box in the mail today, sorry for the delay. Ill get her sent out tomorrow, and my list of puts/takes etc.

Sorry again for the delay fellas.

 

[hobie1dog]

Since I didn't get signed up in time obviously,( I didn't get a reply back from my PM to the main man), do you guys have another one in the Fall? Or does the box sit around until next Spring?
again, these are more newbie questions, bear with me.

 

[happypipester]

Once the box has reached PD, he'll be sending part of the box to PB, and then the majority of the rest will be sent to US servicemen, and the remaining bits and pieces are up for grabs for anyone who'll pay the postage.

As for your ? about when the next pass will be, I don't know the answer.

Cheers!

 

[hobie1dog]

bummer looks like I wait a year.

 

[happypipester]

The box is headed to Kansas! Conf # is: 0309 1830 0002 2055 4114

I'm on break at work, and the notebook I kept on samples, puts and takes I kept is at home, but I'll have er posted ASAP.

Cheers everyone!

Houston, the Eagle has landed! :cheers:

Actually the box arrived yesterday but I just picked up our mail after lunch. All I can say is WOW, what a hoard! Wife is away on a girls night out tonight so I will spend the evening sorting, examining and starting on my picks.

You guys are all really sick and twisted to be sending around this quantity of top grade leaf, can't wait to join the club
