ha!
As many are aware, Moki decided to get revenge on me, and a few others, for my little foam beer in a box trick. So... I present to you- the latest in Cigar Packaging, the Moki Cement Coffin!



To those that were looking forward to me tearing them apart with a Hurst Spreader (Jaws of Life) sorry! I took the box out to the carport and decided to give it one fast try with smacking it on one corner- if it did nothing then it was going to go to work with me. But, alas, one swift smack and the corner gave way (easily I might add!) exposing the cigars, splitting the cement coffin right down the middle and it was easily pulled apart by hand from there. I thought one corner was going to be a problem, but only the ziplock baggie was caught so a good tug and it was free.

Sorry for the let down gang! Guess I was just too excited to wait! :(

And sorry Moki... I would have to say that even though the creativity, execution and sheer weight of this was phenominal, the foam was harder to deal with (yes, I was a recipient once... where do ya think I got the idea? :cool: )

thanks brother :thumbs: thanks a lot!
 
Wow,

This entire project was tons of fun to follow in the threads. :D Truly a stroke of devious ingenuity, A. Swissy, great photo documentary. :thumbs:

....a good reminder that a solid smack from a hammer does indeed take care of many of life's little issues.... :laugh:

Nicely done, Swissy - B.B.S.
 
Great brick, great pics, great sticks, great play Moki!

A story for the grandchildren :laugh: :sign:

I did consider putting something in to reinforce the concrete, but I was trying to be funny rather than cruel :) :thumbs:

Thats awesome. I was hoping to see some pics of the jaws of life in action though.

Sorry... guess I was a little too impatient! But in all honesty I really was only going to whack it once with the hammer, and lo and behold it parted like the Red Sea! :laugh:

That looks absolutely hilarious. How much did the package weigh?

no weight listed on the label, but by the postage it would have weighted 5½ pounds. Thought it was funny there was a 'Heavy' sticker on it!

and I hear you about the reinforcement Andrew... I've thought about chicken wire in my foam boxes of beer, but I don't want to get put on a hit list! The foam is bad enough... can you imagine digging thru it and running into the chicken wire? :laugh: :0 :angry:
 
I see what looks like a water stain on the 'heavy' sticker. Hope Uncle didn't float test the box! I'm glad the bomb arrived well packaged and in good condition. Actually, I think it could have soaked it in used fryer grease and not been harmed :laugh:

It ain't like I doubted you , but I'm damned glad you got through the gauntlet. I don't think I could handle another face looking like Smokyballs' after Uncle dragged his package of single malt behind the truck!

spelling, DOH!
 
This was hilarious to watch! Great stuff Moki! :laugh:
 
Nice pics. Seemed like little trouble. Some one should cover the cigars in the foam, then make a cement brick around that. ;)

well, if there was someone you didn't want to get into the cigars, or you didn't like them or just wanted to be an ass, the best thing would be to make a box out of chicken wire, put the cigars inside, cement around them to form the coffin, then put the cement coffin in a box and foam it up. maybe even make ANOTHER box out of chicken wire and put the cement cigar coffin inside and foam around THAT.

Not that I would advocate doing that... you'd have someone really PO'd at you for doing that!... but my buddy in Iraq.... naw, he has connections high up... but still...

Nah. If I was really mean, I'd put it in a solid block of lucite or epoxy resin.

actually, if you were mean, it would be a solid block of cement- no cigars!
