2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

[tslex]

Echie, Shane, cleared for landing here.
It's Shane's call but it might actually be better to ship it right after Christmas than a couple of days before. But as you like.
I've given Shane my office address and there will be someone here every day except Monday 26 December -- and I doubt it'd land then anyway.
ETA: I'm not in a huge rush. If you need to hold it a bit -- again, with the Box Master's OK -- that's fine by me.

Well, I'm away from the 23rd (Friday) and back on the 30th (following Friday). I can ship it as early as tomorrow, though Thursday would be more convenient for me. After that, I'd ship it on the first days of 2017.
It's fine by me either way (as I said, I'm planning on setting some tobacco aside to try at my own pace), but I suppose it'd be better for everyone if the box was on its way as soon as possible, right?
So, Shane, with these 2 messages in mind, we're waiting for you to make a call

 

[shanelktown]

Haha sent you a message.

 

[echie]

Got it! I'll post it either tomorrow or (more likely) on Thursday

 

[echie]

Ok, the box is sealed up, refilled and ready to go! I'll post it to tslex tomorrow morning.
This box pass is such a great idea. As I mentioned earlier, luck dictated that I didn't get to smoke much these past few weeks. But I set aside one or half a bowl of several blends I've been very keen to try, and a few that intrigued me as I browsed through the box.
Here's what I'm contributing back:

I'll update this thread after I've been to the post office ::

And it's off! USPS tracking # 9505 5128 6007 6357 0658 44 . The price difference between regular and 2-day delivery wasn't large, so I chose the latter. However, it'll still arrive on the 27th. I'm slightly confused by this country's concept of "2-day" :roll:
Anyway, it'll be there on time for Christmas hangover, tslex! Enjoy ::

 

[tslex]

27th is perfect as I will be back in the office.

 

[echie]

Ah, one thing I forgot to mention: I didn't have the foresight to buy mylar bags, so I put some of my contributions to the box on regular plastic bags. They should last a short while, but it'd be good to transplant them over to proper mylar bags sometime soon. Sorry about the hassle, but I thought that was preferable to me not adding the tobacco at all!

The eagle has landed. The crane has returned to the nest. The sheep are in the fold. The baby is in the bathwater. The . . .
Sorry. Box received in good order. Updates to come.

 

[crashthegrey]

This all seems to be quite the smooth operation. Good on you all.

 

[echie]

Cool! Have fun, and let us know your impressions

 

[tslex]

The thing is just. . .amazing.
I think I've done all I can with it. What fun to have it over a holiday.
Shane, in-box me the next address and I will be able to get this out this week, likely Friday but possibly before.

 

[shanelktown]

Mayfair are you ready?

 

[woodsroad]

Can someone be kind enough to put a stash of extra Mylar bags into the box? I'd be happy to mail some to whomever, if that helps.

 

[crashthegrey]

tslex, what a fortunate circumstance for you. I am glad you enjoyed it a little extra!

 

[mayfair70]

I thought Torque was next, but, I'll take it if I have to.
Woodsroad- If you send me extra bags, I'll make sure they get in.

 

[woodsroad]

PM me your address. I have an order en route. Should be here in a couple of days.

 

[torque]

I thought Torque was next

I actually had to step away from the box pass, at least for the moment. Had a really big project land in my lap at work which is consuming most of my time. I'm not actively logging in and posting much right now due to time constraints, so felt it was better to step away from the pass for a bit. I don't want to be "that guy" that causes a hitch in the smooth running of the pass. And I agree with the rule that if you aren't actively engaged then you should remove yourself from the line-up. The upside is that everyone downstream gets bumped up a slot.

 

[woodsroad]

Three thumbs up to Torque for his Box Pass Integrity.

 

[echie]

woodsroad, which bags are you getting? I wanted to get some for myself, and I remember a discussion earlier in this thread about the bags currently used in the Box having leaky zip locks.
