As I work my way through the sampler order with which Wal and y'all helped, plus
some gifts, I am beginning to contemplate box purchases in the next few months.
Bought a good sized cooler during the fall clearance sales so I have a place for
such purchases to land.

I do not know whether vendors will let you choose your box codes or not, but it
does seems reasonable that vendors would try to accomodate their customer's
wishes to the best of their ability. I imagine this varies from vendor to
vendor.

It has been said (IIRC) that 2001 was generally a bad year for Cubans, and am
now wondering whether this is true. More generally, perhaps there are good and
bad years across all brands, and perhaps there are good and bad years within
brands. Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Demonick
