The GAS Pass

[jlada]

As a side note, Litto Gomez Diez and Litto Gomez Small Batch cigars don't look alike.

 

[khari]

Thanks, Jeff. That eliminates one possibility.

Same band and sizes... however, I went and looked at mine (the non-khari ones), they came in cellophone, and according to all the info I can find, the small batches do not come in cello.

Hey peoples! Are these approved?? Lemme know so I can get this thing boxed up!

 

[jlada]

I don't see an issue at all. Anyone?

Pictures will help me identify the cigar, Chris & Khari.

To give you an idea on how the wrappers look:

I don't see an issue at all. Anyone?

Shoot no, there's no issue....Greg left me the cigars I had been eyeballin' plus he's added a Factory Press!

 

[khari]

Relative to the pass, there's no ID necessary, Jeff. The one I put in is a Small Batch No. 2. We were trying to figure out what the other cigars Chris has.

Ooookay doookay...broke it open and the Partagas 160 is a Minor....NOT a Major. I'm torn to put the GOF 05 Churchill for a Minor. Grrrr....

Having a really hard time finding anything else to trade as pretty much everything I have is already in the pass, and I don't want to duplicate. Sheesh this is a tough one! Should I let the GOF stand? Opinions?

T 23) Tatuaje Cojonu 2003 P 81) Graycliff Chateau Gran Cru President (Purple Lable)
T 69) Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos P 82) LFD Factory Press II
T 74) Partagas 160 Robusto Major P 83) GOF Churchill 2005

So here's my final T/P's. I went ahead and put the GOF 05 for the Partagas R Minor. And, here are the pics....

Opening the box

And we have some foam!

Tupperdor container/s

Out the box...

The smokes!

Okay, so one slight issue I found was the sticks were all loose in both containers.

Probably not a good idea to have the sticks loose in there, so I put all the smokes in large ziplocs and vacuum sealed both bags to keep them from moving around. Also put the CAO and Opus A coffins in ziplocs as well.

(rest in next post...only 10 pics per post )

 

[Kingantz]

Ziploc'd

Packing it up

And we're ready to ship it out!

I'll post the LFD A pics next...

 

[jlada]

Thanks for the pics!!!

Odd... I orginally put the sticks in gallon baggies... I think???.... where'd they disappear to?! LOL!

 

[Kingantz]

Crying shame...

 

[Kingantz]

Brian! You ready? If so, it's coming atcha tomorrow DC# 0103 8555 7494 3357 5004. Hopefully it'll get to you Saturday.

Jeff, thanks for inviting me in your pass bro! It's been fun so far! Now, time to go smoke that high dolla' minor! :laugh:

 

[mysterea]

It always entertains me to see the pass box somehow evolve from a cube to a sphere towards the end of the pass.

That fugger's seen more miles than *insert mom joke here*

[StinkiMonki]

Crying shame...

Just so you know, I didn't do that. :whistling:

 

[khari]

It actually happened in transit. En route to my house, the cigar shifted in such a way that it had a pretty serious bend in it. When I opened the Rubbermaid, it was still bent against the weight of the other cigars.

 

[jlada]

Cigar list updated. Map updated. Player list updated.

Onward to Brian & thanks for playing Greg! Kudos for all the hard work you did w/ the pics and maintenance on the pass.

R.I.P #51.
