FYI, I wanted to let everyone know the specs of the box...
-Today's weight was 6 lbs (5.3 to be exact, but she bumped it to 6 for some reason)
-The box measures 15" long x 11" wide x 11" tall
-It cost me $23 (and some odd cents) to ship it insured from DC to Minnesota on UPS Ground

Just wanted to give everyone the heads up on what you are looking at. If you want to print your labels on USPS, I would use those dimensions and put your weight at 6-6.5 lbs just to be safe. (again, its at 5.3 today)

Received. Thanks!

First bet of the year is out there now as well. Coach's Tampa Torpedos took all challengers for high score week 1. The takers were me, Mark, Cole, and both Scotts. No matter what happens 25 sticks will go to the troops! I should probably PM Mark to let him know he has a bet out there :-)

Jerrod...how about a 5er for the troops on the week one matchup?
[Reply]

Mark do you wanna bet 5 on our game?
[Reply]

:-) It's on!

Well Scott (Shilala) I had horrible luck last year when betting against you, so I'm looking to change that this year!!!

How about we go with 10 troops sticks from the looser of our Week 1 battle??!!! :-) :-)

Looks great Matt
[Reply]

One for one that looks good Matt. And the other premiums you are throwing in should continue to make the rest of the pass guys smile like you did when you opened it up!

Keep it up gents
[Reply]

Ouch Travis! Andre Brown Breaks his leg in the last preseason game for the giants :-)
[Reply]

Awesome puts and takes, Matt. Like Cole said, that's why this pass kicks ass. :-)
That Hoyo Epi sure is a pretty cigar, isn't it?
[Reply]

The epi 2 is really the only Hoya I care for. It's soooo good with a cup of coffee in the morning!
[Reply]

That's the last of that box too:-). Easily my favorite hoyo.
[Reply]

The other 3 cigars going into the pass rescued from my vault at Burn...
