Currently running a pass on another board. I will not stand for anything besides CC for CC. IMO - there should be no NC for CC EVER, even if the host wants there to be. Of course, that doesn't mean it wont happen, but in my eyes, CC for CC is the ONLY way to go on this issue. Setting a stupid prescident in my eyes.

Personally I like the Cuban for Cuban, Non-cuban for non-cuban rule.
But it is really up the the person instigating the pass to make up the rules.
If they choose "non standard" rules for their pass, so be it.
that's my 2 cents.

While you are entitled to your opinion like all others, if you're going to be so polar and accusing about it perhaps you ought to explain why you feel that way.

This is my opinion and only how I see this --- but there's a risk involved in dealing with CC's and in my eyes, both parties should have to participate in this risk. To clarify, CCs are more risky to get than NCs. The government wouldn't come after you for getting your hands on a HTF Opus (and I know this is an extreme case), while they would have grounds for coming after you for purchasing a CC. In my eyes, what I'm trying to say is forget dollar amounts and match up risk amount. For my passes, I only allow CC for CC b/c I feel that no matter how HTF an NC is, I'm not risking anything when I purchase it.
I'm sorry for a messy response back, but I hope this gives a glimpse into my thoughts on the subject.

So, this is on a 'risk' basis...opposed to...._price/cost____
I've always used and participated by the old Cuban for Cuban, Non-cuban for non-cuban rule when it comes to puts and takes in cigar passes. However recently there's been a few passes that have not used this ruling, and allowed CC for NC and NC for CC. I'd like to get some opinions as to how people feel about this, either good or bad. I'm personally not sure how I feel about it. Besides the legality and morality that comes into play with Cuban cigars, they're still just tobacco rolled up that is from a particular country of origin. We don't frown on trading Nicaraguan puros for Dominican ones, why should it be any different when they're from Cuba?
What do you all feel are the pros and cons of allowing any cigar to be traded for any other cigar regardless of where it was manufactured?
Or has this discussion already taken place a while back and I was absent that day?

Out of the handful of passes I've been in, I think only Phil's (kind of) current pass is the only one that allowed NC for CC. Personally, I like it that way. Of course, as Phil said, it's much easier when the people in your pass are people you know, as opposed to an open pass where you don't necessarily know everyone.

Nope, other passes have been run where this was not in effect.
Personally I'm not opposed to it from a theoretical standpoint there's always a way to match up value, but from a practical perspective I've seen passes that allow this that got sucked clean of habanos rather early into the pass. The problem is there are always plenty of people willing to trade NC's for CC's, but fewer who would trade the other direction.
