2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

[kamikaze]

I have a ways to go post-wise, but I hope to get in on this this year. Between this, the pay it forward thread, and the FPP, the generosity of the wonderful people on this forum knows no bounds!!!

The linked documents are out of date.
Here is the correct link for the Box Pass Rules and Box insert
I'm still hoping to get the box out to Shane today, but I'm headed out of town for work and running out of time.....working on it!

 

[dcrguns]

I'm in. PM sent. Look forward to it.

So I'm about halfway through the box. About 20% of it is dried out. The rest is still perfect. I don't want to send out dry goods, and I want to add new stuff. Honestly, there's way too much in the box, it can barely close, so I do need to weed it out a bit. I won't be able to get this done today, so the box will go out on Friday after I get back home.
Sorry for the delay, but work got really busy on me. I appreciate your patience.

 

[tslex]

Patience? Are you kidding. The fact that you guys take on the management of this thing is deeply appreciated.

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Agreed. Thanks for heading it up gents.

 

[shanelktown]

The list is slowly growing.

Just landed some vintage tobacco to add well not so much vintage but has some age.

 

[mayfair70]

That's good news!

Can we get an up to date list once a week maybe until this gets rolling? I haven't received word that I'm even on the list yet. No rush, just curious. It will help me with the budgeting/purchases to know roughly in advance how long until it heads my way (if indeed it will). Thanks!

2 threads and the box hasn't even left yet.

I have some amazing additions to include (for anyone who cares for aged tobacco anyway). I'm going to post these out now so if anyone behind me has preferences to what they DEFINATELY want to see, they can let me know. shanelktown and N8 are the only ones ahead of me and if you two are jonesin' for any of this, I can send you some personally as well. This isn't in stone yet, but I've got the following I'm considering contributing to the cause:
Mac Baren's Virginia #1: 23 years old

Mac Baren's Navy Flake: 23 years old

McClelland's Red Cake: 23 years old

McClelland #22: 23 years old

Red Raparee: 15 years old

Black Mallory: 15 years old

Tordenskjold Virginia Slices: 17 years old

Torben Dansk Red Virginia Superb: 16 years old
I may be spoiling the surprise somewhat, but I'm toward the front of the pass and wanted to reach out to see what people might want to see.
Let me know.

 

[echie]

That's amazing, Tom! I'm *so* looking forward to the navy flake and red raparee! And the And the virginias must be something else at that point. I might buy fresh tins to compare - if I do, I'll include in the box.

 

[sthbkr77]

Is it too late for me to pop in? I've been doing a pipe tobacco lotto on another site for a couple years, never did a box pass before.

 

[shanelktown]

Will be getting the box Tuesday will try and spend a couple days to go thru and add things and figure out what's all in here. Hoping to get this sent Friday to Nate.

 

[iamn8]

Wow!! Sounds epic! Looking forward to this!

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Watcha putting in there, Nate?!

 

[iamn8]

Not sure yet, but I'll def put some Fayyum Cake and Directors Cut. Been on an HU tract as of late. Also have 2003 Penzance some might like. Also been looking for a reason to open one of these....

 

[shanelktown]

Mmm that's a rare one nate only 500 tins produced I believe. Have you smoked it? Also the box will be delivered to me tomorrow so hopefully I can get a lot done and sent out by the end of the week.
