That means I just went from #6 to #16.
I'm still overly optimistic about the goodies.

That's how you get appointed to run it next time...
I'm dead middle either way it goes. Nice. Lookin forward to this, thanks for facilitating @RustiePyles CPG
The box is officially on its way to the first participant.
Lmao made me laugh when i found myself on the map
I was next to last on a few Cigar box passes, It was pretty awesome, by the time they got to me, I think they were probably worth more than my truck, I wouldn't sweat it at all.
I love Seinfeld, I actually never watched it when it came out, but later on, maybe a few episodes here and there.
I just love the scene where they turn the hallway into like a BBQ patio scene and Kramer has his pipe. LOL
I took this picture while actually watching it.
Here he is with a Czech tool messing with his pipe. LOL
I just finished the episode where George gets a toupee. What a great showI love Seinfeld, I actually never watched it when it came out, but later on, maybe a few episodes here and there.

Fellows,
I was a man of integrity until I received The Box. The stash was too good; so, I've sold my soul, cellared everything, and will now check out here. Have a nice life.
I kid! But seriously, I am beside myself excited with what I have the opportunity to sample. 60 and 50 year old tobaccos (!), special releases I'd kicked myself for not nabbing, classics I'd only just missed in my smoking career, and some highly rated blends that have been on my "To Try" list for years.
Each of you who contrinuted to this -- Thank you! Your generosity has made possible for some of us things that never otherwise could have been. Many returns to you!
I've bagged bowl-sized portions of each tobacco I wanted to try, so as not to hold up The Box's relentless campaign across this land. In the coming days, God willing, I'll be posting my experience of these treasures on WAYS.
@RustiePyles CPG has done a truly above-and-beyond job in putting this together. And I don't just mean in the logistics. When I opened the box, the care and organization he put into this was very evident. He has labeled and arranged everything beautifully, included mylar for ongoing contributions, etc. Bravo.
@RustiePyles CPG also included this very cool little tamper he turned from catalin:
I wanted to keep it, to pair with my one (almost) matching bakelite stem. I second-guessed whether the first recipient should pick out this treasure for himself, but finally decided that I could so long as I replaced it with some other material treasure (besides tobacco). So I did -- there's now another surprise in there for somebody else.
Additionally, I've added 1 oz. of 2013 Butera Pelican for subsequent recipients to sample (as well as a little something I concocted just for the next recipient, @AroEnglish).
The Box is now re-packed and set to depart the Northwoods of Wisconsin. It should be en route to Mid-Michigan later this morning.
See you on WAYS!

Glad you enjoyed the box, and thank you for your prompt repack and send off. I and the other participants appreciate you keeping it moving in timely manner. I spy some very nice additions, @AroEnglish is gonna have some good stuff to sample for sure.
FYI, catalin & Bakelite are the same thing. Any Bakelite that’s not black/brown is technically called Catalin.
Hope you enjoy the tamper, I really like them. They feel great in the hand.
This is like Christmas in May; so excited!Glad you enjoyed the box, and thank you for your prompt repack and send off. I and the other participants appreciate you keeping it moving in timely manner. I spy some very nice additions, @AroEnglish is gonna have some good stuff to sample for sure.

Oh, I forgot to mention I actually watched all of it last year on Hulu.
So I’ve either become more stupid in my old age, or I found an appreciation for something like this, I couldn’t grasp in my youth. LOL
How dare you PipeIT even think about Ace Ventura, when we all know RustiPyles put so much hard work, love and effort into this Box Pass.
There is no need for us to worry, about delivery, our beloved box is safe!

I watched it through quite a while back. I don't watch much TV, but when I do I enjoy watching these episodes again. Some of them just never get old. I too couldn't grasp this in my youth and find it hysterical nowOh, I forgot to mention I actually watched all of it last year on Hulu.
