the Magic Box

[webmost]

Here I have this Magic Box:

I popped this box out to Cigar. Inside, I packed four Uppowoc Perfectos, and I also included the postage you see beneath my thumb, which I use in this pic to hide his addy. I placed four stamps top right on the box face to carry this package to the Volunteer State. They arrived all in good order, with postage intact and not cancelled. Cigar then sent me back four of his gems. They arrived all in good order, with postage still not cancelled. I deduce from this repeated circumstance that this must be a magic box. This box can travel anywhere in the good old USA without using postage. Ever.

Let's find if this is true. First one to send me their addy, I will shoot them four Uppowoc Perfectos in my magic box. If the magic box arrives in good order and with stamps not cancelled, you then take a pic, someone else sends you their addy, you seal four of your making inside, address accordingly, and away we go. First one to get cancelled stamps snaps a pic and comes out four cigars ahead.

Who's on first? Let's have someone I have not sent to before. I wanna see how far this magic box can travel for free.

That's a cool idea, shame I'm on this side of the pond. I wonder how many miles your package could clock up before being cancelled.

crickets.



I guess my box has lost its magic.
(That's what she said)

That's okay. I've had bad ideas before. I don't stick to 'em.

Which city/State stole your magic?

Brothers, the Magic Box resumes its preternatural peregrinations today. Let's see if it arrives at Leaf Lovers Tobacconist in beautiful North East PA without the post office cancelling these stamps. So far, we've got a threefer outta this postage.

Just throwing this out there in case it matters to anyone. It doesn't matter if the stamps are canceled or not. It's still a federal crime.

Then there is the issue of planning it.

Now you can at least make an informed decision. (In other words, it's your ass)

Anyone want to bet on how many times it gets sent out?

If anyone gets prosecuted for fraud, I'll kick in $50 to your lawyer.

Hey, I figured out the magic trick. Those are "forever stamps"...they never go bad. That means you're allowed to use them as many times as you want.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You, sir, are a buzzkill.

 

[FmGrowit]

Did you know...

If you receive a package and want to return it to sender, it is free as long as you "didn't open it"?

Just throwing it out there.

It's all in good fun. Just messin' with you.

I like your reasoning

See, this right here is where the Mad Man would throw in some comment keep us all chuckling for five minutes trying to figure out what he meant to say. I miss the Mad man. How long is he ostracized Boss?

Threefer complete. Roadwarrior reports the magic box arrived with its magic intact. I am trying to talk him into setting it back on the road.

 

[Raodwarior]

Oh and I shall...who is to be the next recipient for said box and soon to be added contents???

 

[Smokin Harley]

apparently its me....I cant wait to see what I get. I just now rolled a few perfectos ,for the most part just to try my hand at them since I have the mould. two are kind of "cuban sandwich" style. mould is in clamp down right now ...waiting an hour before I continue.

 

[Raodwarior]

That would be correct

 

[Raodwarior]

Ok sorry for being slow but business has had me hoping the last week or so, will finally get to put some wrappers on today or tomorrow so I can ship box.

 

[Smokin Harley]

Cool , thank you very much in advance. The way my day has been so far already , I could use the good news.

 

[Raodwarior]

The box is in the wind with 2 of my finest on its merry way to Illinois. Wonder how lives there???
