A motivated pipe smoker can smell tobacco through 14 layers of cardboard, a sealed tin and 6 ziplocs. It's a proven fact. So go down to the PO and find out who's smoking Penzance out on the loading dock. I'll send Chuck down to talk with him.
So it looks like folks need to keep on top of Box Integrity Assessment. USPS Flat Rate Boxes are free, so don't putz around about using a new box every time.
The good news here is indeed good news. I'll get an update out here ASAP.

If you wish to be added, please READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE MESSAGING ME. Serious. There might be a quiz.


The Rules of Engagement (updated 6-11-14)

Here are the basics: This Box Pass is a box that has a large variety of tobaccos for you to sample. It is sponsored by the members, not PipesMagazine.

In the hopes of mitigating, or at least limiting, disaster befalling the box, we’ve established a few simple rules. If you want to join the Box Pass queue, you must read and agree to these rules, pay attention to the thread and follow it closely. This is not hard to do, just "Favorite" it by clicking on “Add This Topic To Your Favorite” at the top of this page. Drop a friendly note on this thread every now and again, we like hearing from you. We’ll also be limiting the published Pass List to the first ten names or so to keep it manageable.

Do not sign up if you do not have a stable address, will be moving soon, are going to school out of state, are liable to be abducted by aliens, etc. You need to be an active, established member on here to show that you will be sticking around, and are trustworthy. The other several boxes that were "lost", were the result of not having the above attributes. Favorite this thread, stay active on it, and make sure you're posting when your turn comes around to avoid being dropped. The list administrators reserve the right to drop anyone from the list who doesn’t toe the line, including themselves.

Once you're in possession of the box, post in this thread your intent to mail so that the next person in line can respond; if they don't respond to the list in time move on to the next person that does.

Can I take the quiz now? I'm not sure how much I remember from 3 weeks ago, let alone how much I'll forget in the next 2 months (when I become eligible) haha.

I went camping this weekend in our new tent trailer and of course packed all of the tobaccos from the box pass. I sampled everything I wanted to smoke and decided to keep some 1776 and Sweet Briar both from Sterling Tobacco. I thought they were both outstanding blends and thanks to the member/members that added those.
I normally do not smoke this much tobacco in such a short time but two things were different this weekend. One the camping. I always smoke a ton while camping, just feels right and high in the mountains is such a great place to light up. The second reason was pure excitement on having such a variety to choose from. Kudos to those that have participated and followed the rules.
I will post tomorrow a picture of what I added and took along with the tracking number to the next stop. The good news here I guess is that the box is moving much sooner than the allotted time and hopefully this helps us get back on track.

It's kinda cool to see pic of bags of tobacco from the B&M Greentree. I found that place while in from out of town doing some work in Voorhees, NJ. The owners are really nice. I plan on going back there early July to pick up a few things from them.
