Monday, 10/22/01. The B/L/D Pass started off pretty exciting for me today. A few minutes after 12:00, I heard my doorbell ring. I was online checking my email, and I only took about 30 seconds to get to the door. The mail lady was already backing out of my driveway, and heading down the street. I walked to my mailbox and there was the pink, "we tried to deliver, but no one was home," slip from the USPS. I walked back into the house, got into my car and drove down the street to overtake the mail truck. This is the first box pass that I have had to literally chase down.
The box was in perfect shape, well packed, with no damage. The humidifier was still very moist. No problems. All of the cigars were well padded and looked to be in excellent shape.
