I will be putting in some interesting stuff for sampling! I know for sure some pcca samovar and maybe just maybe a sixty year old still sealed Dunhill! he-he-he! i'll keep it a mystery for now!

WOW

Just sent my info

So far eighteen people have signed up for the pass of which six are willing to do two boxes.

Okay gentleman, all of the blends and tins that I ordered have arrived. I will start packing up the box to get ready to ship. I will let the sign up period go for another five days and then send out the box. I will start figuring out the order that the box will ship. So far there is only one time frame we need to work around for one of are truck driver Brothers of Briar. They games are about ready to start. I will post the final contents of the box within the next day or so.

Here is what will be in the box: Ten tins for trading and four tins for sampling and eight bulks (28 ounces) for sampling. All of the bulk is fresh and packed in heavier plastic bags so there "shouldn't" be a problem with dry bulk blends like last year. I was hoping to have a tin of the Seattle Pipe Clubs Plumb Pudding for sampling but my order was shorted. I hope that you guys enjoy this years selection to start out with.

There were only six people who showed interest in two boxes so I decided to only do one box this year. To the other five who showed interest thanks but I feel there just isn't enough people to justify the second box.

The box will start out in Alaska since Artic Smoke (thanks) wanted to add some blends and I figured that would be the greatest shipping charge. From there I still need to figure out the route and order. I will try and make the box go the shortest route to save us all some money plus make some schedules for people being at home. If you have any issues with time frames please let me know so that I can schedule around them.

Again I hope you like this years selection of blends and hope you enjoy.

Mike looks like the box is starting off with some great blends once again. Can't wait til it starts and watch this thing play out.

Looks awesome!

Let the games begin!! Ken

G'ydee'up BoB's Pass 2009 !!!!!!!

Here is the tentative schedule and dates when I "think" you should be receiving the box. I allowed for you to have the box seven days and four days of "in transit" time. I'm sure the time table will shift due to shipping, etc. If you have issues with this schedule please let me know know so that I can re-arrange things to meet your work or vacation schedule. We are in this to have fun. I realize everyone has a life other than BoB and this pass so if something comes up where you can't get the box out during the seven days just let me know. I'm very flexible. Again this is subject to the whims of the USPS and Mother Nature.
