@ngmcs8203 keep the herfador please. It needs to find a home.

 

[JustDave]

Wow, aside from the P.G. all my puts went FAST! (and I think the only reason folks are sleeping on the P.G. is they don't know)

I wasn't sleeping....I was being considerate. I would have taken all of your puts and added 20 of mine

Oh I wanted to take it but the PG was out of the price range of my puts.

Just received the shipment today. I will grab my takes, make my puts and hopefully have these on the way to @BNM by Friday.

Thanks guys.

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.

What I received...

1. Triumph Sampler
2. H Upmann Magnum 46
3. My Father Garcia & Garcia
4. PG Symphony 20 Belicoso
5. Muestra de Saka The Bewitched
6. Oliva Master Blends 3 Churchill
7. Montecristo #2
8. Oliva Serie V Melanio Churchill
9. Hoyo De Monterey Epicure Especial
10. The King is Dead 5x40
11. LFD Double Ligero
12. Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez Toro
13. Cavalier Genève US Regional Exclusive Toro
14. Arturo Fuente Natural Double Chateau
15. Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic Connecticut Robusto
16. Perdomo Champagne Gran Toro
17. Montecristo Artisan Series

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.

Just catching up on this, I believe that Monte was one of my puts, I f'n triple checked all my cigars for condition, really upsetting to hear one had some mold. That stick was a relatively new addition to my cabinet though (that'll be the last time I ever shop there), maybe there was some hidden that got worse once it got into a more humid spot (I keep my cabinet at like 64-65). Shoot me a PM with your addy if you'd like something else as replacement, sorry

It happens. It happened with me and four kicks when they were brand new to market. Had to explain it to the B&M owner over the phone that there was no way it was plume. Brought in the brand new box and had him open every box. They all were covered in mold.

That wasn't the only time that my B&M that I was frequenting tried to tell me that mold was plume:

99.999999% of “plume” is mold. Actual occurrence of significant plume is rare and the result of careful long term cigar care. I imagine many regular smokers could go their entire life not seeing plume more than a few times if they don’t seek it out.

When it doubt, it’s mold. It’s a shame but it happens. Had a box of Cohibas from Ihav that came moldy that they were not very helpful about. A very sad FestiveKnight

Hey guys,

I haven’t heard from @BNM yet by PM to get his mailing address. Figured I’d wait a couple more days and maybe ship it to the next person on the list if that’s agreeable to everyone?

Will check back this afternoon on the feedback to maybe doing it this way.

Thanks,

Tuna

He’s Chilean. @BNM is probably still hungover from Independence Day celebrations.

Ok thanks.
I’ll just wait to hear from @BNM. Been super busy with work this week but I’ll update my takes and puts this weekend.

 

[FestiveKnight]

Did the herf-a-dor from Hot Nuts find a home? Or is it still touring the country?

It’s with me. I couldn’t make it work in a medium box with the tupperador without upgrading to a large.

You might wanna look inside cuz it looks like there's cigars missing

The E.P. Trilogy Box I added wasn't in Lil Tuna's pics and I'd put it in the herf.

There was a tupperador and then a ziplock with the stuff that didn’t fit in there. I added new boveda bags to both.

The ziploc was in a usps small flat rate box.

 

[FestiveKnight]

And that’s a wrap folks!

Here’s where we started:

And here’s where we are now:

Thank you all for participating! None of the original sticks made their way back to me which gives me some satisfaction. I hope you all enjoyed. Keep your eyes out for something new for me. I’ve got some ideas cooking and may kick another cigar-related thing off in a few weeks

 

[chippitydoodah]

Thanks for starting this

 

[ngmcs8203]

Let me know how you end up liking that curivari!

 

[FestiveKnight]

Will do! Went straight into my quick-access humidor. I’ll give it a couple weeks rest and then get to it for sure
