GG has sent me the tracking number.

Once I have the box, I don't expect to have it for more than a day or two before I turn it around...either that or I'll abscond with the lot and hide out somewhere in the Caymans, never to be seen again!

Feel free to send it onto Pozzska if he is around. I am still away from home and I may not be able to get to the mail before Monday (Maybe Tuesday!!!) :x

I'm around but in no rush...so do whatever is best for the box
 
So here we are again...

Pass Players. Underlined Remain.
1. Blackhorse (host)

Like...Idbowman to PozzSka to DoverPipes to home? I think that's right.
 
We're in the home stretch, all right! And Juanmedusa should be receiving his forgotten freebies right...about...now.
 
USPS arrived with the box at 1:30 this afternoon...by 4pm it was back at the post office on its way out to PozzSka.  How's that for efficiency?


What I took:

TINS
--Hearth & Home Darbyshire (2013
--C+D Night Train 2013

BULK
--1 bag Esoterica Tilubury (2000) - 1oz
--Old Gowrie (2011) 1oz
--McClelland Blakeney's Best Arcadian Ribbon 1 oz. 2006
--4 Noggins Weybridge (purchased 4/10/13) 1 oz

--Aylsbury Luxury Flake, 2010 (sample size, appx 1/2 to 3/4 oz).

I tossed in a wooden tamper in case anyone down the road wants it - it's oversized and a bit bigger than most of my pipes call for, so if you happen to have larger bowls, grab it.

Right on cue. Did you use a timing fuse on this one? So my freebies are now on hand and I got a swell extra to say the least. Through the kindness of GrampaGrossbart I was blessed with my freebies and a hunted tobacco I've yet to try in exchange for, essentially, the hassle of having to send it to me. Too kind, it will be remembered.
 
The box has arrived to me and will go back out tomorrow to Dover.

I am making my selections currently and when I am finished I will post.

Edit: or maybe Monday it will go out. Depends on timing and children's activities.

Glad it hit the target, brother! And since you've never sampled that stony goodness before, I feel obliged to mention that the pouch that came from was kinda jacked up. It looked fine from the outside, but the flakes themselves were mashed beyond recognition. I've only cracked a few in my day but they've always been in decent long flakes, if a little sticky, but this stuff came out in clumps, more of a broken flake than the old, bacon-y ones. Hope it was a one off and not a change in production style...the silver lining is that it still tastes great, so enjoy!
 
Whoever ends up with the Prairie Wind Pozz added is in for a treat.
 
Wow! Just got a box containing half a dozen really fine cigars from a gent in the pass here. Unnecessary, of course, but appreciated. Couple of my favorite brands in there too...sweet!
 
Just got the box last night!
I will do a look-see and it will be outbound shortly........
 
Oh boy, oh boy! Love to see another update on this guy. I'm having such fun and surprises. Soon ill be down to comparing what Blackhorse sent out to what he's going to receive. That'll be interesting. Tip of the cap to you, BH.
 
I had many of these blends already so I grabbed two that I have never tried. I took the Peretti's Oriental and the C&D Kajun Kake. I hope to use the Peretti's Oriental in a few blends to give them some "oomph" on the Oriental end of the spectrum.

Thanks for the opportunity to be in another box pass! :cheers:

Box is outbound to Blackhorse via USPS Priority Tracking #9405503699300423183976

Very nice indeed. Many thanks!


And I'd like to take a moment to step forward, on behalf of the handsome and studly pass crew here, to offer a special holiday trio to one Puros Bran...who predicted that the Pass would end up returning a few dried shreds at the end of the day.


:tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
 
Yeah, all that Tambolaka I put in means you're getting a whole heck of a lot of dried shreds, not just a few! Fa fa fa!

But for serious, thanks to all my fellow boxers, and of course our fearless coach, Blackhorse!
