Sooo... anyone planning on starting a pass anytime soon?

[bully1875]

I have been looking around and reading all of the rules and although I would love to start up a pass. I believe in following the rules and I will participate in 3 prior to starting my own. I have been on CP for 3 months now and have done quite a bit of trading. If I can get in the next pass that would be great.

Thanks

I think that the weather may slow the pass startups a bit. I may be wrong, but I am sure others with time will offer feedback. I think I read that the heat is not great for a pass?

Yeah, sticks sitting around in 110 degree heat is not so good. The pass season usually starts after Labor Day.

Ditto for me. Darn heat.

I may start one w/ lower end premium sticks and minus habanos...I may wait until the school year starts up...not sure yet.

I will be starting a pass this fall. There will be requirements to participate however, stay tuned!

Depending on whether or not I'm grandfathered past the new rules (since I've already hosted a pass in the past), I'll be starting a pass in the Fall......

Not just passes, but shipping cigars in general. I try to get the bulk of my buying done before June and don't order anything other than "can't pass that up" deals until it cools off; like September or so. The combination of typically moist cigars, sealed up and in the back of a UPS / USPS truck at 110 degrees for a few days is a dandy recipe for mold. Been there, done that, won't go there again if I can help it.
