Good call and I think something people miss with this is if there are blends you want to try and may not have time to smoke take a sample and bag it for later time.

Ok so I'll be packing this box up tomorrow and shipping it on tuesday.
Torque, are you ready to receive the box?

 

[shanelktown]

Torque messaged me and is unable to receive the box at this time tslex is next are you ready?

 

[shanelktown]

Actually error in my list echie traded spots with torque. So echie are you ready?

 

[echie]

I am! Looking forward to it

 

[tslex]

Echie, enjoy.
As for me, always ready. In town for the next couple of months.

Went to the post office and sent out the box today.
Tracking # 9534 6103 5018 6341 0525 76
Expected delivery is Monday the 12th.
My contribution to the box was a tin of Russ O's Fire Storm. Superb blend IMHO and one of my favorites. It's an unopened tin. Someone further down the line can remove it from the tin and bag it when the time is right, but fire storm is usually packed tightly in the tin and I figured it would actually take up less space that way then if I tried to empty the entire tin into a bag.
I wanted to also add a tin of Royal Yacht for those who are curious about it, but space is limited and I think Fire Storm will appeal to a wider range of smokers.
PS: Damn it! I just realized I forgot to sign the inside of the box lid! Grrrr ........ Now I'm mad.

w00t! I've already subscribed to tracking updates
And thanks for firestorm! I have smoked it (and have a couple of tins), so I'll leave it untouched for the next lucky recipient.
Send me your signature and I'll print and glue it to the lid!

USPS tracking says the package was delivered to Echie's front door/porch at 3:07. Enjoy, my friend :D

 

[echie]

Yes! I have it! Sorry I haven't updated you here earlier, my wife and child arrived this morning from 1.5 months away so I was focused on them the whole day.
But the box is here, and it's a thing of beauty! I'll explore it properly tomorrow and let you know how I'm faring ::
Thanks, tinsel!

 

[echie]

There you go, Tinsel. You're reinstated into the history of the Great Box Pass of 2016

Now, to choose a first blend to try... :puffpipe:

 

[shanelktown]

Good stuff take your time and enjoy.

 

[tinsel]

There you go, Tinsel. You're reinstated into the history of the Great Box Pass of 2016

Thanks!

 

[shanelktown]

So how is it going?

 

[echie]

It's a bit... Overwhelming
The box arrived just as my wife and child came back from holidays, and soon after we had people over at our place. So I haven't been able to smoke as much as I'd like. I have tried (and loved) a few blends I'd been dying to try, though, so I'm not complaining! ::
Technically I could keep the box till next Monday, but I'm traveling for the holidays on Friday. So my plan is to set a few bowls aside for me to try when I can, add a couple of things to the box, and ship it on Thursday or Friday this week already. Shane, I was actually about to message you about this, and ask you for the address of the next lucky recipient. Does that sound good to everyone?
