Ouch! Cruel is such a mild way to put it. Better wrap that thing in ten layers of poly bag for fear of it ghosting the rest of the boxes contents.

OK, as soon as I finished processing these pix, I'll wander up to the mailbox and have a look.
"It's not my fault--I am not in charge of the wood"

That's what the girl at the picnic said!

I didn't realize you were allowed to mail packages using duct tape. Happy to announce the vintage Pembroke is rehydrated so I will put some in the box. It smells much more appetizing now.

Sigh. I signed up for the box too soon! No Condor and now no magic Pembroke! :cry:
Funny you mention that about the duct tape. I was in the post office with the box all taped up and the guy behind me said, "You're screwed. They'll never ship it sealed in duct tape."
I surmize it is an antiquated rule regarding the old style duct tape. ie: they won't allow the duct tape that is actually tin/metal based. The plasticky/rubbery kind they didn't mind at all.
Anyhoo, have a great afternoon out there!

Shaintiques has got me thinking. This is my 2nd go around with the pass, and If it doesn't matter to him, I wouldn't mind him swapping places with me in line. Truth be told, there's a method to my madness. I wouldn't mind sampling the original Revelation he rehydrated recently, and the Pembroke as well.
What say you Dave? Care to jump ahead of me in line? If you've already planned freed up time to sample based on your place in line I understand.
The only "hard" to get blend I planned on putting in during my turn is HU Tobacco's - Fayyum Kake. If you were interested in that one, I can just mail you a sample.
We could even meet somewhere locally since you and I both are in Atlanta to cut on shipping if you like and do the handoff.
Think about it and let me know.
