Some great puts there Rob. Yep, The Count Pulaski surprised me too. When I think Altadis, I think "goopy aromatic", but this is a very good smoke!
Glad you enjoyed the box pass! Post the tracking number when you get one? Thanks!

Sounds like you had fun with this........ Thanks Burl and Ted for putting this one together.

I just couldn't get my head into it after losing all that I had in the last one. But I'm looking forward to this one when it gets to my turn. emoticon

Re: The First GPSF Box Pass!


No need to thank me. I am just glad to be able to help put this together. I am really excited about this one. It will be a real learning experience for me. It will help me understand a bit more about the different blends and styles of baccy, and the different pipes as well. It fascinates me to hear why folks like the blends they do.
