New Box Pass Thread

[05venturer]

Only 22 more people until the box is mine, My Precious. :twisted:

05 you will not be disappointed

 

[judcole]

Getting closer. Looks like it will stroll into my abode sometime around Labor Day. :puffpipe:

 

[captainsousie]

I'll try to get it out quickly (a week or less) when it gets to me so you may just get it a bit earlier.

 

[bigboi]

I plan on having it out next week sometime. LOL

 

[mp31guitar]

I just signed up for it.

To everyone that has received the box, I have a question.
Has being able to try a multitude of different blends changed your preference at all, in other words did you enjoy a blend you didn't think you would like? Have you purchased a tin of anything that you initially sampled in the box pass that you would not ordinarily smoke?

 

[fnord]

Excellent question, Sallow.
The box is tilted heavily towards aromatics and I prefer English blends. But, I was able to try a few of the latter I'd never smoked before and my next tobacco buy will be from Sterling. His "Millionaire's Blend" is especially tasty.

I'm with Fnord. Last time I had it, the mix was heavy on aros, high lat blends, or high nic blends. I did discover McCranie Highland out of there, though, and acquired 8 ounces of that.

 

[bigboi]

I currently have it. Let me tell you, I have tried a bowl of Two-Brother's English Chocolate and that was a nice little surprise. I have also tried a bowl of McClelland's Christmas Cheer and I found that to be a nice VA blend

 

[sallow]

Neat!
I have never heard of Sterling tobacco. I might have to place an order. I also have never ordered from McCrainies but I have been to their website before.
I have smoked a tin of the Two Brothers English Chocolate. I liked the topping fine but I think I prefer the Gawaith and Hoggarth Bob's Chocolate Flake.
Thanks for the info guys.

@Jud

You still want to meet up to handover the box?

 

[judcole]

I still think that's the way to go. Spend $20 on gas instead of on shipping.

 

[uberam3rica]

When you get the box,send me a PM and we can set up a day to meet up.

 

[judcole]

Sounds like a plan.

 

[bigmike]

It is a bit "mind boggling" when you first open the box.........but well worth the shock.

 

[bigboi]

Sent the box off today to Captainsousie. Tracking number is 9534 6105 8585 3206 5871 56. Package says it should be delivered by 7/31.

I added some PS LBF, FMOTT, and some Early Morning Pipe.

Yee-haw!!!

 

[captainsousie]

It's here. From the look of it, I'll have to take a day to sort the thing and then prioritize. Pics to come.

 

[romeowood]

Sure thing. Please note: I may alter the order of the last 5 names slightly to accommodate faster transit times (if you'll notice, Baron had arranged the list in more-or-less geographical proximity). Then again, I may not.
