Jack Straw's Halloween "Coffin Pass"

As opposed to a number of the cigars we all enjoy, most of our last "resting place" will be in a coffin, while many of our smokes begin their "life' arriving at our doors in a coffin. What better way to
celebrate Halloween than with a pass box full of coffins? Now admittedly for some of you anal retentive types, and to be perfectly accurate, several of these cigars are in tubes or boxes, not coffins per
se, but you get the idea. All of these stogies were shipped from the manufacturer in its own personal container.

I am not looking to trade "coffin for coffin", so to speak, just value for value, so don't feel obligated to run out in search of a cigar in a box to feel you can play.

Standard pass rules apply, rarity for rarity, NC for NC, ISOM for ISOM, etc.

To add a bit of a twist, there will be a large ziplock bag included in the post marked "Picture Prize Cigars". If you choose to, send one photo of yourself, kids, significant other, etc. with a Halloween theme, and add a premium smoke to the prize bag, and include it in this thread when posting your P/T's. At the end of the pass, I will post these pictures for a week here on CP, and the best photo, as judged by our members, will win the prize smokes.

Picture rules:
One photo per participant. Multiple entries will disqualify you.
Photo must be sent on photo stock paper. In other words, a picture, not a file on a disc, or some other means , just a picture showing some Halloween frivolity.
Put your name or CP handle on the back of the picture, or somehow identify it.
Decision on "best picture" is final, but if you choose to grouse about it, please do it on this thread for the entertainment of the rest of CP! :)

Most of all, have fun!!

Please read this link if you're new to box passes:

Looking for 11 participants, as we don't want this lingering into Christmas.

Brew,
If you're referring to the SC Gamecocks, they looked pretty good yesterday against NC's Tarheels.

On the other hand if you're talking cigars...........please keep them!

This pass is now closed, as we are full. Just waiting on a couple of addresses, so I can arrange the pass order, and smokes will be on their way.

I will PM all of the participants with the pass order, if you see any problems, let me know, and I'll rearrange things to fit.

Thanks, again, to everyone for participating!!

And away we go...

Hey Mr. Straw, how about adding the state after the passee's name so we have some idea where the heck this is at??? :p Or you could do the GOOGLE map like some others have done. If you have the skills!
:D

The pass order is listed above, with the states added after everyone's name. I tried that Google Map, but gave up (I guess I'm cartographically challenged :angry: ), when I have more time I'll try and figure it out. Pass will go out this afternoon or first thing in the AM, and I will post the DC here.

Heads up Mas_Puros the coffin pass is soon heading in your direction.

BTW ... I am insuring it for $350.00, probably not a bad idea
