My puts....the 2 on the right are for @FestiveKnight for putting this together. I'll package those separately in the box and mark them. Sorry about the reflection.

I don’t have a box code for the HdM.
MC no 2 is RAT FEB 22
Fonseca no 1 is AGR OCT 14
Yellow band “the bewitched” is a Muestra de Saka.
P.G. Symphony 20 is a medium bodied cigar that is made by a local boutique that is small but very well regarded.

Dang was hoping for that LFD! Great choices on both sides. Muestra de Saka are killer.
 
TBH, I was packing it back up and had been super on the fence about LFD or the shark and I think I'm going back for the shark instead.
Ah ha! I’ve still got a chance!

Seriously though, I didn’t say anything until after I thought someone took it because I don’t want to people to feel influenced by me. There’s a lot of great sticks in the mix and the fun for me has been in watching this thing work it’s way around the country.

no bother

I had gone back and forth about 'do I really need another lancero' and really wanted to take the chance to broaden my exposure. I've got a lot of AF sticks, but I rarely smoke anything that dark so I'm going to save it for something good.

Lanceros are superior. The double ligero LFD is an all time classic.

Edit: so glad this was my 500th comment and not me ranting about something stupid.

Had a big box on my porch when I got home and knew I wasn't expecting any chip sets. Completely forgot about the Cigar Box Pass! Only took me about 10 minutes to make my choices.

I pretty much had a group of cigars ready and waiting to go so the put went very quickly

As for the E.P. Carillo box it's up to you if you want the whole thing or pull one or two out. MSRP is $40.

I'm interested to try the Bongani since it's Africa's first premium cigar (Africa Puro could become something).

Anyway, @ngmcs8203 is on deck and the box should be on its way tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

@ngmcs8203 is up next
Great choices. That EPC box is cool. If you haven’t packed it all up yet, mind dropping a pic of the whole set after your exchanges? Losing a bit of track of what’s in there lol.
 
I did. It's for whomever has a use for it. I never ended up using it and it was just sitting on the shelf. If it was a little bigger, I would have put some racks of chips in it.
Let me know what you think of the El Rico

That is a cigar from 1999, my local shop redid their humidor and they found a couple of boxes of them, I got a box for helping them do some of the grunt work.
 
Hmm. I think likely we’ll pause for a moment when it backs to me and then if interested we can certainly send the box back out for another trip around the country.

There’s also other stuff we can do like blind samplers and all posting reviews etc

We can also do these a bit more targeted. This has been an interesting mix of stuff but we could specially try for more homogeneity (or not!)
 
Box arrived yesterday. USPS had something against it and it barely made it here in one piece. I will be replacing it with a new one when I go to the post office. The boveda packs were all dried up so I've moved all the sticks into a glad tupperware container (sorry I didn't have anything with any extra space) and added a large sized boveda pack. Here is what I received, my puts and takes. I also made a list of everything so that you all don't have to dig too much for what is in the box.

While I am wife free this weekend, I am chasing a little one around tomorrow morning and am hosting my first poker night in a long time tomorrow night. Will try and get to the post-office after I drop off my youngest one with his grandma. At the latest I will have this package in the mail by Monday. I will PM @Lil Tuna and get his address tonight.

  1. Triumph Sampler
  2. H Upmann Magnum 46

Unfortunately, the Montecristo Artisan had mold on the wrapper and the foot of the cigar. I went ahead and replaced it with a Tat Series P. All other sticks in the package looked OK.
