Box Pass 2023 Signup

[Streeper541]

I like both ideas.
We can recirculate, have a new sign up, or even a drawing/ giveaway.

I'd certainly participate again and would consider helping as well.

This has been a lot of fun to participate in as well as watch this thread.

@cosmicfolklore has volunteered to send some more Cosmic Blend to the next recipient to add to the box. So the rest of you will get some.

That’s good news for me, as I’m the next guy. Thanks, @cosmicfolklore!

I sent another pouch of Scarlet Begonias, which is my red Virginias made with cherry red variety.

Also a fire cured Virginia made with VA Gold, but cured in a makeshift smoker, adding a spicy zest. It would make a great blender, but I like the strength and full flavor. It is very similar to DFK, but sweeter and less smokey, because the bright leaf doesn’t absorb as much smoke.

Oh, and I got my first bowl from the box this morning : Carolina Red Flake (2020 IIRC)

Couldn't tell if the nic hit me more than usual or if it was the caffeine... I think it was the leaf

Tasty though in the second 1/2... right when I had to stop and get ready for my "real" work.

To continue on the sampling - I've now had:
Hal O' The Wind
Old Gowrie
Rouxgaroux

Really liked them, but maybe the Wind stood out the most for me.

Enjoying working my way through these samples for sure!

Dang at this rate I won’t have my year under my belt to qualify for the next go around lol. This is awesome and love keeping up with this thread.

The box arrived this afternoon. I’ll get a chance to open it up and look through it later this evening.

This morning I tried Sillems Black in a cob. Pretty good for an aromatic...

I find it gets better with age. I’m at the tail end of some 2012 and it’s wonderful.

Curious if anyone here took the Paul Olsen blends I put in there and what you think of them. They were in black mylar with blue masking tape for labels.

I'm pretty sure I took a couple but as you might have seen from the photo - I've got lots to get through. I'll remark when I can but it may take a bit.

Sounds good!

I didn't this time around regretfully. I was a little overwhelmed by the options. If they make it to round 2 I'll be sure to try them.

OH MY GOD! You guys are so generous!

UPS just pulled up, and dropped off all these boxes for the Box Pass, that I’m digging through now!

I’ve made quite a mess as you can see...

This should do good for the next time around.
