I'm not sure what the "Partagas Limited Reserve Maduro Tubo" is... Are you talking about the Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas No. I or No. II? (No. I is 4 1/2 x 49, while No. II is 5 1/2 x 50). The one with the copper colored coin dangling from the tube? Not a maduro, but it does have a darker colored Cameroon wrapper... A VERY nice cigar...

Not sure about the Avo Legacy Kreuzlingen either. The Avo Legacy is a GREAT cigar - but not heard of the "Kreuzlingen" vitola. Could you please clarify?

If those cigars are what I think they are - very nice puts/takes!!!

So I guess I'm the next guy in the pass. Cory said he was sending me his puts and asked me to take for him. I'll see if his package shows up, but so far I've got no confirmation.

In the mean time my proposed puts/takes are:

4) AF Work of Art Maduro <-------> 38) AF Anejo #46 or #50

11) FFOX Petit Lancero <--------> 39) FFOX Fuente Fuente

27) JL Selec. #2 ISOM <---------> 40) Montecristo Edmundo ISOM


Please respond with any questions or comments as this is my first pass and I'm not entirely sure about the protocol. ???

Yes, copper. I hope the picture helps. That said, I'll post as soon as the box is in the mail.

VERY NICE!!!! It's better than what I thought - and what I thought was great!!!

I sincerely hope some of you can make a play on either the Partagas or the Avo - both are phenomenal cigars!! The Pryme is a bit too mild for my tastes, but is a very nice cigar as well.. And what do you say about the Grand Reserva (just that you gotta love full bodied cigars - that baby is kickass!!!).... :love:

Seadub - those are great puts/takes as well!!! You guys are killing me!!!

Oops, sorry guys, If there is a problem with the P?T grab the noose and head my way. Or just let me know and I will fix it. Nice puts bruce those are nice looking sticks.

 

[ggiese]

Okay - I updated the first post with the most recent pass list, including the change with Target's "new" take. No noose's here - everything still looks great!!!

Everyone can do me a bit of a favor - when posting your puts/takes, please number them. It makes it easier for me to locate the puts/takes on the master list when I update it. That way everyone has a good idea of what is in the box when it gets to them....

Carry on!!!

Those look great, Corey - thanks for hanging in there, and doing the virtual thing...

edited to add:

Sorry, Corey - missed it the first time... Yes - that's a PSD4...

 

[seadub]

Gotcha covered Corey. Sorry about posting my puts/takes before you... guess I was just a little eager :whistling:

I promise the WOAM will die a noble death.

No Worries. If you happen to have another Edmundo, maybe we can trade.

I have 30 min to make it to the post office. Let's hope traffic cooperates!

Not sure if it's a varnished or unvarnished - but it is DAMN good!!!

Why can't I ever get these tracking numbers to work? :angry2:

Why can't I ever get these tracking numbers to work? :angry2:

What's it doing/not doing?

Corey did the "Click and Ship" option - which gives free tracking. The only problem I see with that kind of tracking - it only shows it's been "electronically received" (in other words, Corey printed out the label) - and then it has been delivered. It does not show the various points in between, like you get when you pay extra for the tracking number and put the green sticker on the package.

 

[NullSmurf]

"Label/Receipt Number: 4209 0272 0385 5574 9572 9305 11

There is no record of this item."

If I drop the trailing 11, I get that tracking is not available for this item.

That's the biggest problem with the USPS (federally-run) system, 'there's no tracking available.' I wouldn't worry about it Null! I get that message on just about every priority package I send and then a week later I input the DC and it shows up as 'Delivered.' I'm sure it will show up and I'll let you know when it arrives.

Did it go out Saturday?

 

[ggiese]

The actual tracking number (to SeaDub) is:

0103 8555 7495 7293 0511

Which indicates:

Label/Receipt Number: 0103 8555 7495 7293 0511
Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received

The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on March 17, 2006 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

Apparently, it's not yet been delivered...


You can also try to put in that whole long number near the bottom of the label (the "ZIP - e/USPS DELIVERY CONFIRMATION number). That seems to accomplish the same thing...
