alright.. all better. Looks like the site was just having a lot of trouble this morning. Scram, tracking info on the way to your inbox.
Ya know Doody, they have these buildings that you can take a sealed, addressed box to, and for a small fee they will take it from you and get it to the address on the box. Now I know the concept is perhaps a bit strange, and I'll admit that I was taken aback by it myself, but I've since grown to embrace this postal system and their apparent satellite offices and life has gotten much easier.
The post office down here is a nightmare... You can't get in and out of there in under 60 minutes.. total disaster. So instead I spent 2 hrs online cursing, swearing, pounding the table with my fist, and eventually getting a printed label I could slap on the box. I know how to work the system.

lol...sounds like maybe the post office would have proven to be less of a nightmare this time around, no?
lol, I just use the automated terminal at the post office. Don't have to deal with any incompetent people, no line, and I can send it at 2am since that's often about the only time I'm free.

Bingo, that's what I do, sans the 2am part...the town I live in is small enough to where major congestion is not a factor at the PO for the most part, so the only hurdles to deal with are incompetent and crabby postal employees, so it's the terminal or bust for me.
You guys are going about it all wrong. I just send my wife every time. No hassles, no lines, and she has done it enough times that she knows the drill.

lol, that would work, except it was expressly forbidden for this pass, in light of what happened with the last one.

6. You must mail the package yourself. Do not give it to wives, girlfriends, or especially secretaries to mail out for you! This will forever be known as Diasing a package. LOL

Living in Memphis, there's a terminal at the airport where I can drop off a FedEx package at, like, 2 a.m., and it will still get where it's going by 10 a.m. that day. I've never needed to do it, but some people at the office have.

Hey, Urbs.. that was me. I wanted to complete your Boffo Birthday Tour of Ecuadorian Sumatra. The unlabeled torpedo is an EcSu from my local shop. Pretty mild in body, but a favorite of mine.
Let me know what you think of the Mi Dominicana. I bought a box (because it came with a free Cigar Oasis, making the cigars damn near free in my mind), but haven't seen many independent reviews on it. I enjoyed the one I smoked. It was probably the strongest cigar I've ever had.
Ok we're going to send the pass back around. Feel free to participate even if you weren't in the last one. We're going to try to keep a few low end sticks in here as well so don't be intimidated if your collection isn't what some of us have. This time there are gonna be a few extra rules. All the rules from the first pass still apply these are in addition to those.
1. If you agree to participate, you must participate. Take 2 or 3 sticks out and put the same number of sticks back in. 2. These sticks must be of equivalent value. This goes both ways don't put in a high valued stick and take out a low valued, this may make it harder for people later down the pass to participate bc they don't have anything of equivalent value. I'm trying to keep this as an everyday stick pass with one premium stick in it. Nothing ultra premium last time it started as a Gurkha Titan. 3. This time you will post what you took and what you replaced it with within 1 day of sending it out. If someone hits you with some extra sticks through the pass feel free to acknowledge that but please do not list the contents of any extra sticks that were not meant for you. 4. Please try your best to get the box back out within 48 hours of receiving, so it keeps on moving. 5. I hate that I have to do this but you must have participated in a previous game and sent out sticks to someone else to participate in this pass. 6. You must mail the package yourself. Do not give it to wives, girlfriends, or especially secretaries to mail out for you! This will forever be known as Diasing a package. LOL This time I'm going to post the list of whos in on this post, I'll just edit it to update. So continue to look at this first post.
