The GAS Pass 2009

Okay, the hygro is reading at 70% without any beads in there, so I'll be adding the beads and hitting up the next to check if he's ready...
 
Here are the official P/Ts:

P: 92) Opus X Rising X 2007 / T: 68) AF Opus X Love Story
P: 93) Tatuaje Black Label Corona Gorda
P: 94) Añejo No. 77 (2005)

The Pass is on it's way with a new hygro, a new box, and some extra packing. The new hygro is 9% off, so if it's reading 66%, then it is currently 75%.

DC#0308 3390 0000 1139 3177


Again, the new hygro:

If it's reading 66%, then it is currently 75%.


Don't forget. ;) I also crossed out #23, and Putz I crossed out #1 for you, and #2 for Stinki.
 
OK - so the pass has landed, and I am going through matching up sticks and numbers. Fellas, I do not see #79 thru #86 (the replacement sticks jlada sent out. Can anyone help with this. Everything else looks good(all sticks in good shape).

I knew I had a sinking feeling about those stupid things. I wasn't sure what they were when I was handed the bag of smokes. I thought Putz misplaced some sticks and am holding onto them. Geoff and I both didn't know what they were, and Charlie's busy having his baby... I guess I will send them to you Lkyman, or to the next passer, Jeff's call.


God I f**kin' hate passes... :angry:

PS- I replaced two of the sticks, and I have six cigars here in the bag...
 
The sticks I put in the MAIN POST.

Also, if you READ POST 443 and the following two posts, I reveal on a cigar by cigar basis what is to be removed and that I will be mailing cigars to replace them.

I really don't know how more clear I could have made it. Jon, ship them out to the next passer in line at your earliest convenience - I know you're busy moving and all those shenanigans/tomfoolery.

Lkyman, any puts/takes you have in mind?

I'm wondering if the Tat Black holds some rarity?

1) Good! :thumbs:
2) Good! :thumbs:

3) For current $ value on the market for either cigar, it really depends on your vendor. Some vendors the Sig VI is more expensive, some the Genios is more expensive. I say this is good. However, there is already a CM5 Genios in the pass:
8) Please, if at all possible, try to avoid putting an exact duplicate cigar that already exists in the pass. Obviously, if it is a highly rare and/or desirable cigar, exceptions can and will be made.
I don't truly consider the CM5 "rare" - albeit desirable to my tastes :), YMMV. Do you have anything else you could put for it?

4) Tatuaje Black carries $13 + rarity. I know of no online vendors that have them in stock, and I know most B&M's didn't even get them. You can't freely "x" quantity right now. On the contrary, the Graycliff Espresso PG can be nabbed for between $10-$13 for a 5 pack, or for $14-$16 per cigar for a box at numerous vendors. The Graycliff doesn't carry a rarity factor.

DC# 0103 8555 7496 7102 1837 for the replacements. Went in the mail today... :thumbs:

Thanks Jeff for having me in this pass. It was fun to participate in, and for the most part, the smoothest and most drama-free pass I've been in. Thanks again brother.
 
Guys, the pass has landed.

Here are my proposed P/T's:

T43) Trinidad Fundadores '07 P97) Cohiba Siglo IV Jan '08
T46) Saint Luis Rey Série A '01 P98) Bolivar Coronas Extra 1999
T49) Bolivar Coronas Gigantes '07 P99) Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos '07
T67) AF Hemingway WOAM P100) BTL '08

The missing sticks will be here tomorrow according to USPS and I will ship this Monday or Tuesday.

There were a few issues:

#2, 25, 66 and 70 had some wrapper damage. Some slight, some not so slight. #56 was completely obliterated by beetles. I have removed this one from the pass. Otherwise, everything looks good.

Last man standing: rectifythis crosses off #6.

Scott, you truly are a generous bastid! Thank you.

Jeff, with your direction this can fly soon, LMK and thanks for having me.
