Glad I waited, if only to avoid using my potato cam to highlight these beauties. That little Mi Querida is like a puppy for Christmas, so cute!
Hey! Heavy Hitter David! I don't deserve this. Thank you. You shouldn't have. I guess I need a surrogate target like you have in Tony, because you need to stop hitting me. Happy New Year Brother!

Was there a prior conversation about this that I missed? I just found a list online of postal codes. Interesting read. Take number 72 for example.
No. 72 DELIVERY EXCEPTION ANIMAL INTERFERENCE
The local delivery employee has indicated that because of interference by an animal at the delivery location, the employee could not attempt delivery of the item.
@Bob_Luken the “36” was placed on* the package to further test @VegasFrank theory that packages will arrive to their destination in a expedited manner. At this point it does seem to be legit and will be my delivery method moving forward. The little Mi Q packs a punch hope you enjoy.

I completely understand and believe Edward's explanation. A postal worker that I know here in Vegas told me that the 36 is an indicator that puts packages at the front of the line because they "need to be delivered within 36 hours."
I completely believe the worker, too, and I account for the discrepancy in my firm belief that the organization has failed to officially explain the 36 to its employees. This results in postal workers erroneously putting boxes with 36s to the head of the line, like they do here locally.
Either way, it seems to work, so I'll continue to do it, since it's a no-cost workaround.

And if I were to put a 72 on a box (Animal Interference), that thing would never get delivered. Or any of the rest of their mail.

Now I'm curious, as to which postal worker puts the 36 on the box, and how it's determined which boxes get it.

So I asked my friend who actually works a route. He's got no flippin idea. He just knows that anything with 36 has to be taking from the building and put into his truck and it has to go into a box that day.
I fully suspect that someone told one of these guys 2 years ago to put 36s on everything, and then it got passed down by word of mouth that the 36 had to go that day. And this is how it is. Nobody has any idea about what any organizational rule is. That's the hallmark of a dysfunctional institution like the post office. Still, we are getting packages delivered in 3 days with this code...
I sent out 40# of coffee on Wed and was planning on doing the 36-trick on all the boxes, even told one of the customers about it since the coffee's been getting stale sitting in some rathole post office lately. But wouldn't you know it, my last few working brain cells were used up in the roasting and I forgot. Again.
Well gahdamn.... so my man thinks some how him being low is dry begging! What a place this is! Obviously I jest. Thank you David for the awesome cigars and equally as important the boss assz chocolate...... which is all gone. Thanks again my man! And it only matters that I think you’re low!
Not sure what I did to deserve this...I mean I've been a A hole all year and Santa only gave me some coal.....But David hooked me up!!! Thank you sir, you're a true gentleman.....Chocolates too!!!
The best thing is now I have your address.
Side note, I asked the mailman about the #36 on the box....He said "Don't listen to Frank"
@ForMud enjoy the smokes brother! As for the 36 it seems to be working a package was delivered today to a botl in 3 days where it usually takes over a week to make it to him. so I will roll with it
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience

@NorCalR1 bomb landed here, too. Thanks Dave, I have been meaning to revisit English blends, I used to like them then didn't so the Pembroke is well timed, it used to be a favorite.

The last of 2020 or the first for 2021??
The 36's worked! Great bombing run, David.

And what's with the number 36? If it's a clever riddle that I should have figured out already,..... I haven't.

that's a great hit, especially the chocolates made with "real" almonds, lol. I wonder what fake almonds are like.
Shockingly low carb too! He must have seen the tank tops on the vHerf!

Great Santa bomb from @NorCalR1 of cigars and sweets. Several new too me sticks can't wait to try. Thanks David, most generous.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
