I bet there is not one person that can keep a straight face when they get into that box. I will try hard to get in the next one. Just couldn't do it this year. Have fun and enjoy!!! cyclops

Mr Houston you are right about how fast the boxes are moving. I just looked back to check the order and I think I am after you for the west box. Seems like last week I mailed off the east box. Oh well time flies when your having fun.

Real quick. Looks like it's a "work on computers" for friends night. West Box has arrived. Had to use the appliance dolly to get her down to the basement hamshack/smoking room.

I just love how a boxpass smells. I dug right to the Maduro Cut Cake. Incredible! Mr. GL Pease, my hat off to you sir. Not only is this a generous thing to do, providing an early sample. But this is a really great smoke. Only half-way though a bowl. I poured it out on paper, scooped up all the larger pieces and set them aside. then loaded up the Castello with the smaller crumblies and piece. No sense rubbing any more out.

Report more later.

Ok, my friend Ed just drove 45 min after purchasing the wrong power supply. The guy at the computer store owes him a discount for the hassle. Ed even had the bad one with him. If I could steal one that would work out of any one of mine I would. Stupid dell!

Well, more time to play in the box. There is a lot here to sample. A lot of new to me blends. But I don't need to try them all. Just yet. Very Happy

Brother Tony, hope you are ready. I will try to get it off to you on Saturday. If that doesn't work for you, let me know.

That Sail looks interesting also.

You know what sucks about this pass? Carlos is behind me on both boxes and I can't raid his goodies! Laughing

I'm gonna slip Mike a twenty next time to make sure he puts me right behind Carlos Cool

Two more have completed some great passes and trading. Thirteen people have seen Bab's "East" or "West". There are some great blends in both boxes for trading gentleman.
