Good pass, Tony. Hope they get you fixed up quick. I know I am a whole lot better. Maybe I will go see the Doc sooner next time. Smile

Great passes everyone. Any word on the East Box?

Well I had a blast with the box, but it's time for it to head out.

I sampled a ton (enough to toast my tongue), and noted a few in the book. I really liked the Peter Hienrich's #312, and the Maduro cut cake(I really can't wait until that comes out) again.

I took the GLPease Montgomery, and MacBaren Symphony; I added McClelland Grey Haven, and Presbyterien Mixture. Also I added open tins of Old Companion, and McCranie's Mcarris.

I will stop back and add the Tracking# in a bit.

Tracking# 03070020000298244517

I have emailed cigargod to see if he has received the box yet. If I don't hear from him soon I will try and reach him by phone.

By the way, great passes Tony and Ego Archive.

Ken (pipetongue1) it looks like the "West" box is headed your way. I hope you take your time since the "East" box passed you by Crying or Very sad

The East Box has arrived. I got it this afternoon. cheers

It really looks good - more trades and samples that I'm interested in than most boxes I've received.

A couple I've never heard of before.

Thanks CigarGod.
