Good to go. This set of p/t's is exactly what the pass was set up for - an opportunity to try new and novel sticks in a low-risk environment. The puts throw even more novel cigars in the mix. Well done.

merry christmas, guys. I'm writing in from my cell phone as the inlaws are here - best to not be antisocial. Anyhow, all but the first look good. Other comments?

I'm going to have to toss one put for flagrant over ... The Flor de Gonzalez is the white label and is a long-filler stick made in Nicaragua. Anyhow, it's about $2 if you can find it, but you won't find it anywhere online; the mixed filler green label is widely available, and you can track down...

A half-dozen trans-continental USPS packages were spotted outbound from Delaware County, PA. Merry Christmas, guys.

I come in and the thing that I wanted to post has already been discussed. Yes, approved - on balance that's a very good set of p/t's, and gives a lot of variety for the next participants to pick from. Well done.

Hi everyone - quick update. Bu11dog is back, to go in his original position (no. 5, after Nimrod). Nimrod, I'm going to spend a few seconds looking over your p/t's - there are a lot of unders, which I'm a little wary of. (since the ratchet works down as well as up.) Not saying no, not saying...

I haven't had the toro, but I have had the Achilles salomon. The big RG really shows it off - nice flavor. I think it was a little more than medium, into the full range, but palates differ. Well done with the review.

Not a big deal - don't worry about it. Errors caught, no harm, no foul. You'll enjoy the Jericho. Good stick, great value, and very mod-art band, too :) Don't forget to post your reviews!

Can I ask where you're getting your prices for comparison? That one's well off the mark, too, as far as I can tell (although I'm always open to additional information). If you'd like to put the Hoyo in (it's a good stick and would certainly be a good put), I'd be glad to suggest sticks in the...

I think that the "standard" 1495 is corojo - not that I'd object to any of the others of course. Looking at boxprices, the Cusano for Hoyo Dark Sumatra is a little light. (4.44 vs. 2.80 a stick at Famous - I'm not at my laptop so I can't look at the cigarcyclopedia price spread, but...

I think that you can disable PM or email in the preferences. Wilkey did that when he was on hiatus, if I recall correctly. (Come to think of it, I'd probably do the same if I was the one writing up ... although I'd probably be smoking a LOT of cigars too.)

Pass list's updated on the front page - Boomer, you're in progress, and Nimrod, you're on deck. Start thinking about your p/t's. :)

Sounds good. I'm glad to see that things are working out in the end.

Look, everyone, enough with the threadjacking. The topic is closed. I asked Andy to mentor me on the pass for very good reasons - he's a stand-up guy, he's reliable, he's been around the block and he's an excellent example for people to emulate. The comments on the pass thread have in no way...

On with the cameroon-a-thon. Approved.

Well, I can see 3 chainrings on the crank, so it's not "12 speed", and it has front suspension so it's new enough (last 10 years) to have 7 on the freewheel. That said, if you're looking to buy a good bike, the best and cheapest way to get there is to buy a bike that fits your needs right away...

I take a day away to paint the house and do electrical work, and this all comes down. Damn. Sean said what he was going to do, and if the pass goes out with his puts and trades at the beginning of the week, he'll have done what he says. Criticizing him for that is just uncool. Would you...

LOL. Me too. Diet Dr. Pepper is amazing. I'm also a fan of bourbon. Or, for days I can't waste on the couch, espresso - not coffee, but espresso.

Here we have two distinguished members of CP at each other's throats. This is supposed to be a more relaxed pass, people. :) The problem is that both Seanholio and Gonz are right. Sean did everything right: volunteered to move the pass on (twice), asked permission first rather than waiting...
