So some of us just completed the "Virtual Pass".
Here were some of the pros and cons:
Disadvantages to the “Virtual Pass”
•One of the exciting things about passes is to see the actual box and go through some of the cigars. That did not happen in this pass.
Advantages to the “Virtual Pass”
•Shipping was radically reduced since all an individual will had to send was a small pack of cigars and $3 (I asked each participant to send $3 with their puts to help ease the cost of shipping). That should be a lot less than what is normally required to ship a pass with insurance.
•The USPS did not get an opportunity to lose an entire pass.
•Since we didn’t have to wait for the USPS to deliver the cigars to continue on to the next person, it was completed in less time. 2 weeks from start to finish.
Because this was a surprise we had to keep it a secret and do it using a bunch of PM's and a web page. Had it not been a surprise I'm sure it would have been easier because I would have done it right here, so multiple PM's would not have been necessary.
For those of you concerned with the summer heat this may be an option if you're really itching to do a pass.
Is this the first of it's kind? I haven't been here enough to know for sure. I do have to admit it was a pretty fun way of doing it.
