Gentlemen:
I had planned to get The Box in the post today, but, as the Yiddish proverb almost says: "Man plans, United States District Court judges laugh."
I have Mayfair70's real name and address and it should go out tomorrow.
Mayfair, ready to receive traffic?

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the box pass, I apologize I haven't been more active in this thread just have been very busy. Thanks Dan for being generous and providing the sample bags I will send you mayfairs information. Mayfair Dan is sending you bags.
Thanks again Woodsroad !
I can't wait. I've got butterflies like a kid at Christmas. I've got D&R Three Sails and SG Coconut Twist on hand to replace what I sample. They were the only blends I could get my hands on that weren't already in the box. I hope they will make a satisfactory contribution to this epic sampler. I may shore up some existing samples, depending on where things are at. I'm surprised at how much I have already smoked of what is coming. The plan is to smoke one bowl of every blend I have not tried (75+ bowls?). I'll be making a list to inform future purchases, and can't thank you guys enough for this opportunity to expand my horizons. Though I've had Strang and Condor already, I may have to have another bowl of each, just so they are indelibly etched into my brain. THANK YOU ALL !! :worship: :

:50+ of Bag #1 went out today to Mayfair. They are nice, pleated at the bottom so they hold more, but I don't know if the zip seal is any better than the ESB bags that we're now using.
Bag #2 arrived here today as well, but I'll hold off on those until we use up the ones we have. They are larger, not sure if that's a good idea space-wise for the Box, but definitely a durable item. It's difficult to find a high-quality 3.5"x5" Mylar ziploc bag.

The eagle has flown the nest.
I'll provide Tracking to Shane and Mayfair via PM.
I tossed in some Escudo (which was easy for me b/c I don't like it) and a full tin of Old Dog.
Old Dog has become my very favorite go-to tobacco these days. It is a classic and if you haven't tried it, you should. So I though a full tin would ensure those down the line got a taste.

The box arrived in good shape and smelling of victory. I'm diving in right away. This thing is CRAZY!! Timing is perfect as my birthday is the 18th and I'll ship it out the next day most likely. SO MUCH TOBACCO !! :worship: Oh, no bags yet, but the day isn't over.
Ok, Mayfair, enjoy the box and I think I am next. I will be ready when you are. I have not chimed in on the thread yet but have been keeping up with it. I did not want to get too excited until it was close. So much tobacco, so little time! ::

I received the bags from Woodsroad today. Thank you, sir!!
I will set about doing some tobacco transplants during the next week. The bags are a little smaller than I expected, but they will work out wonderfully. There are a few tins which will get bagged. There are a few bags with holes/damage that need replaced. Unorthodox bagging will remain intact as long as there are no holes, leaks or moisture depletion. Some minor labeling needs to be done as well. There will be plenty of new bags for future deposits. I may leave some blank labels in if I have any left over.
Samples I encounter which are dry, will remain dry because I like dry tobacco, and I see no need to pay extra for shipping water at this point. There are at least two samples which are depleted enough (or will be
)to be taken out of the game. By my reckoning, if there is enough for a fat bowl, it stays in. It is looking like I'll be throwing in 4 blends not on the list and possibly shoring up a couple more samples. I'll make a formal announcement about everything before sending the box to its next victim. I'll also inventory everything in the box and double check it against the Master List started by Shanelktown, noting the latest additions and subtractions, to ensure that list is current and accurate. I may put a copy in the box.
Any comments, questions, or suggestions are welcome.
If by some misapprehension I die of nicotine poisoning, my girlfriend Elaine will ensure the box reaches its next destination, after she resurrects me and kicks my ass, of course. See ya'll in a week. May the force be with you.
