Looks like you guys are having a blast.
Absolutely Correct could not have said it any better myself!!! But I will Try.

Well Boy's and Girls this is a summary.
I did what I said I was going to do in a previous post.
I found the GLP Wesminster enough said Fabulous stuff.
I posted in what are you smoking the things I sampled and what I thought. (sorry if I was aggravating) to anyone (not really). I was just having so much fun could not help it. Hope everyone else does also.

All things come to some kind of end and for me sadly Box Pass ended for me this a.m. of my own accord. I know I could have kept it a while longer but I did what I wanted to.
Dug around in the box smelled all the wonder full smells felt all the various textures read all the tins except Westminster I'll wait til I get my own to read that one.

Hey this is a great thing this our Brother Puros Bran has done for us and to him I am very very very grateful.

I had lots of Fun Fun Fun.

I hope You all enjoy as much as I have.

The weight in the Box is getting bigger cause postage is going up. But where else could a person get so much enjoyment for such a small fee.

The Lizards even charge more. (That was for BP he Knows what I mean)

WeLL I have said enough. The rest of Ya'll Please keep the rest of us posted on how much you are loving this and I know it will be appreciated.

Thanks again PB You da man.

The excitement continues to build for when it gets to me!
I think there will only be six pounds of Walnut in the box when it arrives at your doorstep.......that is, after I mug the mailman and switch the box on you :p

PM Sent check your box........
Sean, there will ONLY be walnut in the box when I hand it off to you! :geek:

It pays to live next door to a postal worker :tongue:

He might be right Dover You are way down on the list. :rendeer: :joker:
 
Ed, be careful with the "threat of the dreaded Walnut" :p I may have to come down to Georgia sooner than I usually do, and force you & Andrew to smoke all six pounds in one sitting!!!!!! :twisted: :p :twisted: :p UGH!!!!
 
I'll Get that little Kid on the Bugs Bunny video you sent to Natch to Deal with You.
That was a good one. :lol!: :lol!: :lol!:

Come on Down to Ga. Let me know and maybe we can work something out where you won't have to make me smoke that much Walnut-- I have a sensitive system.
I'm still :drunken: from the Box Pass. Smoked a heck of lot in a short time.

The box arrived today. Some real goodies in there. There is also a bag in there with skull and crossbones on it marked TOXIC. Is this the famous Walnut that I have heard so much about and have been afraid to try? I might have to buy a throw away pipe and give it a go. Got to do everything at least once I suppose. I won't have the box long. I already see some stuff I want to trade for. Will post my put and takes and sampling notes in the next couple of days.

Hey Dave... You still alive Brother? :lol:
Yep. I survived the Walnut. Box is going out tomorrow. I've been working all weekend so I will post my report of samplings, puts and takes a little later tonight after I get some supper. I will also PM the next in line. This was fun.
 
Okay here we go.

Sampled:

Walnut Have to say I was a bit surprised by this one. When I opened the bag and sniffed it smelled like...well, walnuts. While it is smokeable when I want an OTC I think I am going to stay with Carter Hall or PA.

Westminster A solid English
2005 Christmas Cheer Good solid Virginia
Haunted Bookshop I really like this with the burley. TAD listed
Bufflehead My favorite sample (of course)

Takes
GLP Haddo's Delight
GLP Cumberland
Esoterica Penzance

Puts
Deattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding
Escudo
GLP Blackpoint
Sutcliffe Blend #5
1 box of IRC 3 Star Blue
Various samples of the John Patton Blends These were shipped to me by
John Patton and were a bit dry for my taste. John says this is intentional
and rehydrate by blowing into the pipe.

I enjoyed this box pass and appreciate all that participated and all the hard work that went into putting it together and keeping it rolling.

JP will PM you tomorrow after I deliver box to the Post Office.
 
Woo Hoo!!!!!!! Can't wait to try some of that Plumb Pudding!

Great pass Dave!
 
Great pass Dave!
I missed out on trying some of that Plumb Pudding!
Guess I'll just have to order some.

Package mailed Monday. Confirmation number 0307 3330 0000 1148 3297. It's getting heavier. Postage was $15.70. I also threw a couple hundred dollars of insurance on it. The box is in good shape but I think it will be too full to use after a couple more passes. :D
