Blind leading the Blind Pass - pt. 2

[Blue Dragon]

This thread is ready to be moved to the next area.

I already have my takes in mind . . . just have to look through the humi for some puts.

[snapback]204871[/snapback]​

I've sent the request to get it moved.

[snapback]204879[/snapback]​

Yea, I sent the request the day I posted the updated cigar list after stevehawk did his Ps and Ts. I have read it could take a couple of days to get moved.

JAEwing: the bird is in flight. :thumbs: 0304 3490 0001 1519 8091 :thumbs:
It looks like it will take a little bit for USPS to update the DC. Right now it doesn't show anything.

Sounds great. Thank you for the great pass.

I will be on vacation as I mentioned to Blue Dragon from the 30th through August 6th. But from the looks of it I should be back in time before it gets to me.

[snapback]204872[/snapback]​

In the pass I put a list of everyone's name, addresses, and phone numbers. The 2nd to the last column contains vacation dates people said they would be unavailable. The very last column is an estimated arrival date of the pass. The only person who may have an issue with times that they have said so far is chilto_a. If the pass moves really quickly (which wouldn't be a bad thing at all), then it might hit him while he is still on vacation. But he is the last in the pass list before me, so no big worries.

However, I still haven't had a Roll Call response from Deisel Grinch. It looks like he hasn't been online since July 22nd, so he may be on vacation. So, Shibumi, if you/we don't hear from him when the pass gets to you, we will just have to skip him, and send it on to CvilleYoungGun.

There are USPS Priority shipping labels w/ everyone's address already filled out in the Pass. However, the From area has not been filled out, specifically for this reason. (aside .. it turns out that shipping USPS priority is cheaper than UPS ground and faster!!)

Thanks,
- C

USPS never updates their DC. Oh wait, after it arrives they do!!!

I'm sure he'll be around by then, but no problem. Nice job so far, everything seems well thought out and organized.

I'm really glad to be a part of this pass. :thumbs:

DOH!! How did I miss this????

NooB's I will be away for the Next week so Castaway is in charge. Take the West Coast down!

[snapback]203858[/snapback]​

That was in the NooBs vs. Newbies War thread. So, yea, he should be back soon enough. Unless of course someone blew up his house or the East coast falls into the Atlantic.

And "Thanks" Shibumi.

Package received and in good condition. All sticks present and accounted for.

I will be working on the puts/takes tonight and should have the proposed list posted tonight or tomorrow morning. If approved it will ship tomorrow or Saturday.

So far here are the proposed PUTS & TAKES:

TAKE #2 CI Legends White Label PUT: Victor Sinclair Torpedo
TAKE #3 CI Legends Blue Label PUT Tierra Del Sol Robusto Maduro
TAKE #8 Don Diego Playboy PUT K. Hansotia Sherpa Diablo 6x50
TAKE #11 Hoyo de Monterey Sultans Mad. PUT Rovanoff Churchill Natural
TAKE #27 Cuesta Rey Centenario PUT K. Hansotia Park Ave. Series 44

EXTRA PUT - Perdomo Overrun Large (6.5 x 64) or something like that . . . it is HUGE!

REASONS

I like to try anything so I listen to others and read reviews alot. I also look at the description given by the retailer. All of those things make up my decision to try something.

Victor Sinclair Torp . . . too mild for my taste but still a good smoke.

Tierra Del Sol . . . good flavor and may even buy again but not my favorite.

Sherpa Diablo . . . I am very intrigued by the Sherpa Line as well as other K. Hansotia lines. I like the Sherpa Regular Orange Lable but was not as impressed with the Diablo.

Rovanoff . . . of all my puts this one is my favorite and may buy more for when I want a milder smoke. Generally though I like stronger smokes.

K. Hansotia Park Ave. . . . bought this based on my intrigue with the line and beautiful band (yeah I know not a good reason) It had an odd finish and was not fond of this one.

Perdomo . . . I actually really like this but wanted to add a little something extra to the pass :thumbs:

Hopefully the Puts/Takes are accepted so I don't have to write this all over

 

[PuroEsq]

See above . . . box is ready to go. I will wait until this afternoon and if no comments are posted I will assume all is well with the Puts/Takes.

Hey JAEwing,
All I ask is that you put like for like in terms of value. Most of those cigars I know absolutely nothing about, so it will be interesting to try them. I am pretty new to where cigars stand, so just check online or at a retail store that the one you are taking is of comparable value to the one you are putting. One of my favorite places is Cigars International; they have a pretty good selection and often put a retail price you can compare with.

The only one that may seem questionable is Take #11:
TAKE #11 Hoyo de Monterey Sultans Mad. PUT Rovanoff Churchill Natural

This is what I found on Cigars International:
Hoyo de Monterrey Sultans Maduro BOX OF 25 (reg.$133.75) 7.2 x 54 In Stock $91.95
Rovanoff Churchill BOX OF 20 7.0 x 47 In Stock $29.95

That comes to $3.68 and $1.50 per cigar respectively; ..seems a little off.

But if you have a different experience or numbers and think it is a fair trade, NP.



Thanks,
- C

Yeah I was not sure about that one too. I will see if I have something else to "put" in place of that Rovanoff. Will post once I get to work.

EDIT . . . how about this: Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon Robusto. That retails for about $3.52 on CI. I generaly like Toranos but the Cameroon is my least favorite of that line.

Ohh Ohh!!! I call dibs on the CT 1916.

Yeah right that's if it makes it too me. My opinion is that once that gets detected it will gone so fast it will probably start on fire...

Good choices JAEWing
