USPS shows that the Eagle has landed. I'll run home on lunch to ensure I pick up the package before the mail office closes tonight. Plus I'll open it up to let the smell fill my apt for when I get home from work!

I wouldn't make it back from my lunch break if it was me.........hahaha

 

[Benjamin Button]

Wow. This thing is HUUUUUUUUUUGE!

After lugging it back to my place, it looks as though I can skip the gym tonight. Damn!

I barely got to scratch the surface of the contents on my lunch, but I'll be digging in tonight and seeing what the goodies are! I am beyond amazed at all the stuff in here. Crazy!!!!!

I'll try to post some sort of update and get this out in the next day or two. I am going to try and find a new box too. I don't think this one will make it much longer.

So I finally got to venture into the box last night. What an assortment of tobacco! Absolutely stunning. I sampled Stonehaven and Red Ribbon last night and plan on trying the new SHPC VA cake blend this evening. I am going to update my puts and takes tonight and get everything sorted through. I am trying to find a new box today to mail this out, hopefully tomorrow. It is at capacity right now.

All of this tobacco is such a tease. It's like having a room full of Christmas presents and having your parents tell you that you can only have one or two, then the rest go to other girls and boys that want them.


One thing to clarify though...Mark is next up on the list, but his address on the mailing label does not match the address on the sheet. I think he and the next recipient got mixed up. Mike or Mark, if you could send me verification so that I know the address is correct. I'd hate to have this thing go to the wrong address.

Thanks! I'll update tonight!

 

[Mikem]

Benjamin, pm has been sent.

As a reminder gentlemen, you can keep the box a week for your viewing and tasting pleasure........... :lol!: ipe:

 

[Benjamin Button]

Thanks Mike...the week thing is good to know. I got a box from the mail office yesterday and I am not at all confident with the size/packing of it. There is soooooo much stuff. I am going to get a better box today that has some room for packing material/padding. The box I have does not have any additional room for that.

As an update to my P's and T's, they are as follows:

Puts:

McClelland #25 Matured VA (50g tin)
Squadron Leader (50g tin)
Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut Burley (8oz)

Puts for Sampling:
Boswells Spice and Nice (2oz)
Stanwell Melange (tin for sampling)
Peterson Sunset Breeze (tin for sampling)
Peterson Connoisseurs Choice (tin for sampling)
C&D Bow Legged Bear (full English) (50g)
LJ Peretti Blend #111 (2 oz)
MacBaren Club Blend Roll Cake (2oz)

Takes:
1 of Docks Yard Pipes
1 Pipe Nail
Grand Orientals Yenidje Highlander (50g tin)
C&D Exhausted Rooster (50g tin)

Sampled:
Stonehaven
McCranies Red Ribbon
SHPC Straight VA Cake
Exhausted Rooster
SG Full VA Flake

Once I find a box that will fit all of this plus my additions I will get it out to the next lucky recipient!

Great job, guys!

 

[Dock]

Jolly good show Bennie!

Nice pass Ben! :tongue: Ken :tongue:

Hello alll!

Sorry for not updating last night but I didn't have access to a computer at my night job so I figured I'd update this morning.

The package is out and on its way to Mark! The USPS confirmation # is 03080070000048744209

I had to go out and buy a larger box at Staples. The contents are now in an 18" x 18" box and I stuffed as much newspaper in as I could find to add padding to it. Hopefully that box will be large enough to finish off the pass and make it back to Mike. The weight on my receipt shows it is 18 lbs 14.6 oz! Quite the package indeed.

Thanks again for letting me play! It's been great!

Way to go Adam!

 

[Mikem]

Adam, got your pm. Way to go on another great pass. Thanks for changing out the box. Boy, this thing is getting out of hand :lol!: . Next years pass I'm going to have to take out accident and injury insurance in case some one ends up throwing out their back just lifting the thing.

Mark, it looks like you are up next. Enjoy.

 

[mark]
